John Shoobridge Court is a small retirement scheme in the attractive town of Shaftesbury in Dorset.

There are 19 studio apartments and one, two-bedroom flat.

It is close to a Post Office, doctor's surgery, dentists, opticians, banks and churches, as well as several pubs, restaurants and cafes. Residents can also visit the nearby Arts Centre, cinema, theatre and swimming pool.

Shaftesbury has a weekly market, farmers markets and annual events such as the Gold Hill Fair, Shaftesbury Carnival and a food festival. One of the town’s claims to fame is that it is the location of Gold Hill, which featured in the famous advert for Hovis bread with the delivery boy on his bike. The town also enjoys wonderful views over the Blackmore Vale, which offers plenty of opportunities for walking.

The court is well served by public transport, with direct buses to Salisbury, Gillingham, and Blandford. There is also a train station three miles away in Gillingham (Dorset).

John Shoobridge Court offers a residents’ lounge, communal laundry and a guest room for visiting family and friends. A court manager is on hand to provide help and support, and additional peace of mind is provided by 24 hour emergency alarms.

The court is surrounded by gardens, with the rear garden enclosed by a stone wall. Residents are encouraged to help tend the gardens.
