Wincanton, Somerset

If you're looking for a retirement apartment that offers both peace and practicality, this is the one.
Occupying a premier first floor position, this home provides more than your average apartment; it offers spacious accommodation, attractive communal gardens to sit and relax and residence lounge to socialise.
One of the best things about living at Homecanton House is how close you are to the heart of the town. You're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Wincanton High Street.
Everything on your doorstep: Whether it's popping out for coffee at a local cafe, browsing the independent shops, or visiting the library, everything is within easy reach. For those wishing trips further afield there is a daily coach to London within walking distance.

The Kitchen: Roomy and practical, with extra width that makes a world of difference when you're preparing lunch.
Two Bright Bedrooms with plenty of built-in storage to keep things tidy.
Bathroom, with a moulded bath designed for easy access and seating.
