A surge in demand for high-quality later-living homes has seen more than half of the apartments at Minerva Place in Lymm snapped up.

To celebrate the milestone, a beautifully styled new show apartment will be unveiled to prospective purchasers on Wednesday 9th July from 2pm to 4.30pm.  Guests can enjoy a warm welcome and refreshments as they tour the one-bedroom show apartment and meet members of the on-site team.

Designed exclusively for over-55s, Minerva Place has proven exceptionally popular. Only two two-bedroom apartments remain for sale, alongside a newly released selection of one-bedroom homes. Apartments with direct access to patios have seen particularly strong interest, with just two still available, and only one south-facing apartment remaining.

“This is a truly impressive development that has clearly struck the right chord with purchasers looking to downsize in later life without compromising on their standard of living or lifestyle,” said Michael Thompson, Land and New Homes Director at Gascoigne Halman. “Minerva Place stands out not only for its exceptional build quality and stylish interiors, but for the way it supports independent living while allowing residents to adapt the level of support they receive over time.”

Developed and operated by Villafont, part of The McGoff Group, Minerva Place is redefining modern later living. Each apartment is thoughtfully designed with spacious open-plan living areas, high-specification kitchens and premium finishes throughout. The homes are also highly energy-efficient and environmentally conscious, with private parking, EV charging points, lift access and beautifully landscaped communal gardens.

Located on the site of the former Lymm Hotel, the development offers flexible support tailored to each resident. A standout concierge service includes two hours of domestic support per week. A varied programme of social activities including games afternoons and evening tipples, fosters a vibrant sense of community for those keen to enjoy the social side of apartment living.

Helen Murphy, Lifestyle Manager at Minerva Place, added: “What sets Minerva Place apart is the control it gives residents over their lifestyle. Many of our homeowners are still incredibly active both mentally and physically and want to maintain that. From lifelong learning to social events and supportive care, our team works alongside residents to create the life they choose. For families, it's also hugely reassuring to know support for their loved ones is always close at hand.”

Set in a peaceful, leafy enclave of Lymm and adjacent to the Trans Pennine Trail, Minerva Place is just a short walk from the village centre. The wider site also features an award-winning care centre and a natural, child-led day nursery creating a pioneering multi-generational community with wellbeing benefits for all ages.

House hunters are invited to drop in to the open event or book an appointment on Wednesday 9th July between 2pm and 4.30pm at Minerva Place, 15 Whitbarrow Road, Lymm, WA13 9AG.
