50% of bungalows are already reserved at our new retirement village in Wimborne, Dorset

McCarthy Stone's brand new retirement village 'The Old Market Village’ will feature bungalows and chalet bungalows known as 'The Old Market Gardens’ and apartments known as ‘Market House’ all of which are set within a beautiful village green in the wonderful town of Wimborne – voted the number one place to live in Dorset by online lifestyle magazine Muddy Stilettos.

The Old Market Gardens bungalows will consist of 32 stunning retirement bungalows, exclusive to the over 65s and conveniently located in the historic town of Wimborne Minster, Dorset. There are 22 spacious two bedroom bungalows and an additional ten bungalows that are chalet style bungalows with three bedrooms. All McCarthy Stone retirement properties are designed to be a pleasure to live in, with high spec and quality fixtures and fittings throughout.

The bungalows will be centred around a lovely village green. Ideal for meetings, events and parties, the space is to be the beating heart of this retirement community. Just off the village green, you’ll find a wellness zone offering health and fitness studios, as well as a hair and beauty salon and a sociable communal lounge. There will be a bistro, so you’ll be able to meet your friends and family for a morning coffee or enjoy a long lingering lunch with a glass or two of wine. You’ll also find a pretty rural walking trail leading from the development.

Wimborne Minster is a picturesque and historic market town with Roman origins and an idyllic position on the banks of the rivers Stour and Allen. As well as the famous Minister Church with its many treasures, including a chained library, you can’t miss the unusual Wimborne Model Town and Gardens. An intricate miniature version of Wimborne in the 1950s, complete with flushing toilets, it’s a must see. Cyclists and strollers will enjoy meandering around the tranquil pathways, the pretty central square, the Willow Walk and along the wild-life rich riverbanks.


Sometimes, a little extra help is all you need to allow you to stay active, to do the things you want to do and feel part of the community. That’s why all our Retirement Living PLUS developments offer the services of a brilliant domestic and personal care team onsite each day. We like to think we can help make every day living a little bit easier and more enjoyable.

You’ll receive one hour of weekly domestic cleaning included in your service charge. On top of this you can arrange for extra domestic and personal services that are completely flexible and tailored to suit you. As the services are available in 15 minute increments, you can have as much support as you need, when you need it. The service can be dialled up and down too – so, for instance, you may need a bit of extra help if you are convalescing, which you can stop as soon as you are fully recovered. This means you only pay for the services you use. Before moving into a Retirement Living PLUS Development you are offered a confidential wellbeing assessment, so, if you need it, your support package can be put in place from the moment you move in.
