People are being offered the chance to take a tour of a new retirement development in Ottery while enjoying a mince pie and a glass of mulled wine.

Residents at McCarthy and Stone's Tumbling Weir Court are inviting guests to take a tour of the development - aimed for those over the age of 60 - at an 'at home' event being held on Thursday, December 12.

Guests will also have the chance to meet the current residents.

The retirement development features a communal lounge and a hotel-style guest suite available for visiting families and friends.

Geoff Bates, head of marketing at McCarthy & Stone South, said: "Our 'At-Home' Christmas event is a fantastic example of the fun and engaging activities we regularly host here at Tumbling Weir Court."
