Award-winning retirement housebuilder, McCarthy and Stone, is set to launch its new retirement living development in Falmouth which has been designed to appeal exclusively to those over 60.

The first phase of the new development, which is being built on the site of the former Admiral Nelson pub in Bar Road, will be released for sale in February.

The developer has drawn inspiration from the local area by naming the development Trelawny House in tribute to Sir William Trelawny, a historical British politician and colonial administrator who, in his latter years, became the Governor of Jamaica. The development also shares its name with the Trelawny parish in Falmouth, Jamaica. Both town and parish were named in honour of Sir William Trelawny following his instrumental part in the Caribbean town’s establishment.

Debby Pavitt, regional sales and marketing director for McCarthy and Stone South West, said: “We wanted to choose a name that was memorable and that would resonate with both Falmouth residents and our future homeowners alike. Our chosen name, Trelawny House, will serve as a celebration of the local history.”

Anyone interested in buying one of the 46, one and two bedroom apartments, is urged to register their interest now to avoid disappointment. Debby added: “Our new development is already proving extremely popular with retirees in the Falmouth area. Retirement should be a time when people can really enjoy the finer things in life – the stunning and intelligent design of this collection of apartments means that our purchasers are able to do exactly that.”

When complete, facilities at Trelawny House will include a homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens and a guest suite should homeowners have friends or relatives to stay. The development also benefits from its own house manager, who will ensure the smooth running of the development; a security entrance system, plus 24-hour emergency call points for added peace of mind for both homeowners and their families.
