Introduction

Constructed in 2013 by renowned retirement home specialists McCarthy Stone and occupying an envious position with expansive sea views, Roswell Court provides a fantastic lifestyle living opportunity for the over 70’s.

It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Roswell court; there are always plenty of regular activities to choose from including; an art group, fitness classes, tai chi, coffee mornings, bridge club, games and quiz nights, themed events and occasional organised trips to the theatre, coast and country.
