A new development coming to Bexleyheath has been given its backing by retirees as two thirds of apartments have been reserved.

McCarthy and Stone's Cardamom Court development was launched in the Holiday Inn in Bexley with over 100 people attending.

The development will offer retirees the chance to socialise and relax in housing that comes complete with a concierge.

The developers say the demand for property shows the need for this type of housing in the area.

Julie Ward, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for McCarthy and Stone, commented: “We have been overwhelmed by the fantastic response to Cardamom Court. Bexleyheath is a vibrant district of and we are thrilled to have secured a prime spot in the borough close to an array of amenities with direct access to the high street."

The development is being further showcased in June.
