"Last remaining shared ownership properties!

Prices from £21,000 for a 10 percent share.
Our new Retirement Living scheme, Lowarth Morbies, is now open! Live independently within a community setting. Lowarth Morbies offers 40 one- and two-bedroom apartments, which are available for rent and shared ownership.

The stunning views of the nearby River Truro inspired the name, Lowarth Morbies, which is the Cornish name for Oystercatcher Gardens, a reference to the bird found locally in Cornwall. Based on Malpas Road with the river running alongside it, the scheme is in a fantastic location, just 0.7 miles from the city centre. The handy local transport links provide easy access to a range of local amenities, including shops, restaurants, medical centres, post offices and more.

Our Retirement Living scheme has been designed to provide independent living with total peace of mind. There is a full-time manager on site to support you to live well and to take care of the building and there is plenty of opportunities to socialise within our beautifully landscaped gardens and furnished communal lounge.

Shared ownership
There are one- and two-bedroom apartments available to purchase through shared ownership, with a minimum purchase of 10 percent to a maximum of 75 percent." Show less
