Gloucester Road, Ross-on-Wye, HR9

Welcome to 57 Goodrich Court, a charming two-bedroom retirement apartment tucked within the McCarthy & Stone development in Ross-on-Wye. Built over 20 years ago, this uplifting over-60s community radiates both independence and reassurance — the best of both worlds.

As you arrive, you’ll immediately sense the peace and maturity of the neighbourhood. Goodrich Court comprises 58 well-designed apartments laid out over three floors, with lifts and stair access to ensure mobility throughout. You’ll be asked to be aged 60 or over (or for couples, one over 60 and the other over 55), so all residents share a very similar stage of life and sense of community.

Inside this particular apartment the moment you step through the front door you are greeted by a lovely entrance hall leading into an expansive living room. The living room features French doors which open right onto the communal gardens, bringing the outdoors in, filling the space with light, and offering effortless access to fresh air and greenery. 

The apartment also features:

• Two comfortable bedrooms, one of which enjoys generous proportions and built-in wardrobe space.

• A fitted kitchen with double doors into the lounge/ dining room

• Bathroom with an emergency pull-cord system, ensuring safety without compromising dignity. 

In terms of amenities, Goodrich Court doesn’t disappoint:

• A welcoming resident’s lounge — a soft-furnished communal hub where neighbours gather, enjoy teas, conversations, or simply relax. 

• Beautifully kept communal gardens, which the French doors open into, offering tranquil outdoor space to stroll or simply sit and enjoy. 

• Laundry room, lift access to all floors, guest suite, and a helpful development manager. 

• Most importantly, a 24-hour emergency Careline system, so while this is very much independent living, there’s the comfort of knowing help is always close if needed. 

Location is superb. Goodrich Court is just a short walk from Ross-on-Wye town centre. All the amenities you could want are nearby: shops, supermarkets, the library, doctors, and more. Plus there are beautiful riverside walks and green spaces, perfect for those moments when you want to get out and enjoy the scenery.
