Largs

Retirement living market leader McCarthy & Stone has recently opened an attractive new show apartment at the company's development at Cumbrae Court in Largs. The company has also introduced a ‘Try before you Buy' apartment, allowing prospective purchasers to book a short-break stay and experience the relaxation of McCarthy & Stone living for themselves.

McCarthy & Stone's new-build retirement development Cumbrae Court is offering a unique deal which will offer buyers the opportunity to pay just 75% of the purchase price of their retirement apartment, but own 100%. With prices starting from £129,950, it's a fantastic deal for anyone looking to maximise their budget whilst making the move to stay cosy in a new retirement apartment this winter. Buyers need to move quickly though, as the deal is only available on selected plots reserved on or before 25 November 2011.

It's only a week since Largs residents Colin and Christine Weir scooped £161 million in the Euromillions lottery. In the days following their record-breaking win, the couple have stated that they would not be swapping their three-bedroom home for a new one, but there are plenty of new homes for sale in Ayrshire at the moment should they change their minds.
