\"bowes-lyon-court-homeowners-gather-for-the-statue-unveiling-merle-carroll-anne-gowing-suzie-chaffyn-grove-elizabeth-carter-and-margaret-carroll\"Her Majesty the Queen was joined by The Prince Of Wales on a special visit to Poundbury yesterday, where they unveiled a statue\u00a0of the late Queen Mother in the main square<\/h3>\n

Homeowners at McCarthy and Stone\u2019s newly opened assisted living development, Bowes Lyon Court, in the Dorset town inspired\u00a0by the Prince of Wales, watched the unveiling from the\u00a0outdoor terrace which overlooks Queen Mother Square.<\/p>\n

\"bowes-lyon-court-homeowners-kay-renals-morag-durdin-daveen-hazmer-and-marie-grosvenor-get-into-the-party-spirit-for-the-royal-visit\"The\u00a0staff at Bowes Lyon Court also threw a\u00a0royal tea party complete with finger sandwiches, sparkling wine and union jack bunting, flags, balloons and a homemade Union Jack cake.<\/p>\n

Kim Caldwell, Sales and Marketing Director for\u00a0McCarthy and Stone, said: \u201cEveryone really enjoyed themselves. It was a great way for homeowners to feel part of the celebrations going on outside in the square, and we were lucky enough to have some of the best views of the statue and of the royal car arriving.<\/p>\n

“The noise from the square was incredible and at Bowes Lyon Court there was a real buzz about the place with everyone excited to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our homeowners have apartments which look directly out onto the square and the statue so they really do have that regal feeling. It\u2019s such a fitting tribute and a great centrepiece addition to Queen Mother Square.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new development of one-and-two-bedroom apartments is designed for the over-70s. Homeowners are able to retain their independence in the form of homeownership, but with the comfort of knowing that\u00a0there is extra support if they need it.<\/p>\n

Half\u00a0of the apartments are still available to buy after interest from local retirees, and people looking to re-locate to the area.\u00a0Most of the apartments have\u00a0balconies, as well as tall, Georgian-style windows, designed to maximise natural light into each of the apartments.\u00a0One-beds cost from\u00a0\u00a3245,000 and two beds from \u00a3365. There are 22 one beds and 12 two beds remaining.<\/p>\n

\"view-from-bowes-lyon-court-of-her-majesty-andthe-grand-unveiling\"There is also plenty of communal space.\u00a0The Atrium, at the development main entrance has comfy seating and potted plants making it an ideal spot\u00a0for homeowners to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet in the afternoon sun, and \u2018The Orangery\u2019 provides a relaxing indoor garden environment to spend time with friends whatever the weather.<\/p>\n

There is also a\u00a0library, restaurant with outdoor terrace, well-being suite offering health and beauty treatments, and \u00a0a billiards room.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0homeowner\u2019s lounge is available for residents to pop in and enjoy a coffee and a chat, plus a guest suite should relatives or friends wish to stay over.<\/p>\n

\"Poundbury-mccarthy-and-stone\"A qualified team are on hand day and night to provide personal care and support to homeowners if they need it, and which is regularly reviewed and tailored to suit individual\u2019s specific needs, so they only pay for what they need, and have the flexibility to increase this over time if their needs change.<\/p>\n

There are currently two show apartments open at the development and available to view. For more information\u00a0visit www.mccarthyandstone.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0\/0800 310 0383.<\/p>\n\n
