Anchor marks completion of new development in Standish
Anchor are pleased to announce we have recently marked practical completion at The Standard, Berystede Court, our new development of 64 properties in Standish, Greater Manchester.
The Standard provides a mix of affordable rented and shared ownership apartments for over 55s, as well as a resident’s lounge, on-site bistro and wellness programme. Set in the stunning northern countryside and situated just outside Wigan, the development has convenient transport links to Manchester and is in close proximity to local amenities including golf courses, parks, and abundant nature walks.
This is the first of four developments currently under construction in partnership with McCarthy Stone and contributes towards a key part of Anchor’s Business Plan to provide more and better homes where people love living in later life. The development was built with funding support from Homes England and the affordable rent apartments will be let in partnership with Wigan Council. This site is adjacent to McCarthy Stone’s own 31-unit retirement scheme which welcomed its first homeowners in August 2022 and currently has six two bedroomed apartments remaining.
Victoria Mager, Director of Development Delivery at Anchor, said:
The completion of The Standard, Berystede Court marks an exciting step for Anchor. This development provides well-designed, affordable homes for older people within a peaceful yet vibrant community, helping us achieve our commitment to deliver more homes where people love living in later life. We’re looking forward to welcoming residents to the community from April.
