Ellisfields Court

Constructed in mid-2014 by renowned, award-winning developers McCarthy Stone, Ellisfields Court consistently continues to be one our most sought-after developments and it is not difficult to understand why; a quiet backwater location yet within short easy access to the town centre. Beautiful landscaped gardens with pond that back directly onto Taunton Dean Cricket ground with Vivary Park next door. This is a ‘retirement living plus’ development providing a lifestyle living opportunity for the over 70’s and designed specifically for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent staff and Estate Manager overseeing the smooth running of the development.

Homeowners benefit from one hour of domestic assistance each week included within the service charge, and there are extensive domestic and care packages available to suit individual needs and budgets. All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal link to the main development entrance. There is also the excellent guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge per night applies.

The development enjoys excellent communal facilities, having recently been redecorated including a home owner’s lounge, restaurant with a fantastic, varied daily table-service lunch, laundry, scooter store and landscaped gardens, along with a roof terrace. There is direct access from the development leading to Vivary Park serving as a short cut to town.
Ellisfields Court is a vibrant development with plenty of regular activities and ample opportunity to ‘get involved’, socialise and make new friends. Equally however, there is, of course, no obligation to participate and Home owners can remain as private as they wish.

The Local Area

Central Taunton is part of the annual West Country Carnival circuit and hosts the Taunton Flower Show. Within Taunton, you’ll also find the Eat Wellington Food and Drink Festival, and Fake Festival, which is home to some of the UK’s most popular cover bands.
