Dream of escaping to the coast for your retired years? Dover is the perfect location, boasting the stunning Dover-Folkstone Heritage Coast, a thriving local community, and easy access to France and Europe across the channel. Creating a home at Elkington House, our latest Retirement Living Plus development in Dover, is a guaranteed way to make the most of your retirement.

Every apartment in Elkington House is carefully planned with intelligent design, to maximise the space and ensure a comfortable and relaxed retirement. We limit the number of apartments in the gated complex, to encourage a close-knit community feel. There are 70 one and two bedroom apartments available exclusively to the over 70s. The communal spaces will offer plenty of opportunity for new residents to meet their neighbours and make new friends. The communal lounge is a comfortable and sociable space, and the on-site bistro offers hot and cold drinks, meals and snacks. The landscaped gardens within the complex are located to the rear of the site, bordering residential apartments to create a secluded area – the perfect place to relax during fine weather.

We ensure the safety and security of our residents with hi-tech security systems. Each apartment has an inbuilt camera entry system, so you can see who’s calling before permitting them access to the complex. Burglar alarms are installed in every apartment, as well as secure, lockable windows. The 24 hour emergency call system gives residents and their loved ones peace of mind. Guests are always welcome at McCarthy Stone Dover, where there's a Guest Suite for visitors to spend the night.
