WENDY VISITS LOCAL OPEN DOORS DAY AT KINGSFERRY COURT IN RENFREW

To celebrate the launch of a new show apartment at Kingsferry Court in Renfrew, McCarthy & Stone hosted a relaxing open day today (Friday 16 October, 2009) where prospective buyers joined the team to find out more about living in this new district of Renfrew Riverside, plus local MSP Wendy Alexander – champion of many local community initiatives – also popped in to see for herself just why McCarthy & Stone is Britain’s leading retirement builder.

Guests enjoyed a tour around the new show apartments, and a whole host of activities including a fashion show by two local Braehead stores – M&Co and Monsoon; a whisky tasting, and a little ‘pampering’ from a therapist offering a choice of tempting well-being treatments.

Opening the development to the public is a great way to let prospective buyers see for themselves just how easy a move to Kingsferry Court could be, as Suzanne McElhiney, marketing manager for McCarthy & Stone adds: “A number of buyers have already made the move to Kingsferry Court and we’re keen to extend a warm welcome to see some new faces who’re perhaps considering their next move. And of course we’re delighted to have welcomed our local MSP Wendy Alexander to the development.

“As a champion of many local initiatives such as the new health centre, Wendy’s been a great supporter in the creation of this new district of Renfrew, and our Kingsferry Court is a strategic part in the overall regeneration that’s creating a vibrant and exciting place to live at Renfrew Riverside.”

It’s exciting to see the regeneration of the local area move into a phase where people are moving into the area and getting on with living as Wendy Alexander MSP adds: “I know from my surgeries that as many older people look to the future, they want housing opportunities locally that keep their independence but reduce their worries about maintenance, security and repairs.  It is good to see Ferry Village offering homes for all our citizens”.

Kingsferry Court in Renfrew offers 57 one and two bedroom apartments which are tailored to the needs of older people with on-site facilities such as a laundry-room, a central lounge for recreation and social events, a lift and a hotel-style guest suite for friends and family who wish to visit.  Plus, for added peace of mind there’s a 24-hour personal emergency service, as well as a TV security-system monitoring the main entrance.  A house manager is responsible for daily management of gardeners, window-cleaners and maintenance staff, as well as helping to organise social events with the residents.  Prices start from £149,950.
