Marina Court

Description of Scheme

Marina Court is a retirement development, providing 75 self contained one and two bedroom apartments and bungalows, allowing residents to maintain their independence, dignity and personal choice.

The development consists of 30 one bedroom apartments, 20 two bedroom apartments and 25 two bedroom bungalows. Each property also has a lounge, fitted kitchen, and bathroom with level access shower.

Regular social activities include: coffee mornings, outings, visiting speakers, exercise classes, a library, quizzes (organised by residents) and Therapy & Well-being Co-ordinator vists.

Where Is It?

Located close to Tewkesbury High Street and next to Tewkesbury Marina, Marina Court is a modern building with courtyard garden.

Tewkesbury is a popular market town famous for its medieval architecture, stained glass and many monuments. You can take a walk through the narrow alleys and conjure up feelings of 'Olde England' or stroll along the banks of the rivers Avon and Severn.
