Selling fast! New bungalows and apartments in Thurston
The build is now complete for our new Extra Care scheme, Michaelmas Court. Our first residents are due to move in this Summer.
Live independently with on-site care available. The 40 stylish apartments and 14 modern bungalows, for over 55s, will be available to rent or purchase through shared ownership.
Michaelmas Court has been designed to provide fully accessible facilities for residents and members of the public, such as a café/bistro and hair salon. There is also a spacious residents’ lounge, activity room, buggy store, guest suite and communal gardens for residents and their guests to enjoy.
As well as support from our Care Team, Michaelmas Court will be managed by a dedicated on-site Local Housing and Care Manager, who will ensure that day-to-day life runs smoothly.
Located on Heath Road in a quiet rural setting with views over the fields, Michaelmas Court is four miles from Bury St Edmunds and conveniently located near the amenities in the centre of Thurston, including a Co-op store, pharmacy and railway station.
Michaelmas Court is a great choice for people looking to downsize and enjoy living in a beautiful new home with support, if or when it may be required.
