The winner of the What’s in a Name? competition will receive a cash prize of £200 and see the development bear the chosen name when it opens.

Please include your name and contact details in the email and add ‘Exeter naming competition’ in the email subject header. The competition is open to people of all ages from the local and surrounding areas, and the deadline for entries is 22nd March 2024
“We are looking for a name which will really represent the local community, and it can be anything from suggestions that honour local landmarks or scenery, to paying homage to the history and the memories of once famous Buckerell Lodge Hotel that formerly stood there. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone to put their own stamp on this new addition to the area and we can’t wait to see their suggestions.”
With first occupants expected in Summer 2025, work is already well underway to transform the site which will help to meet the housing need for elderly people in the local area, whilst freeing up other properties in the process. Once complete, the development will offer contemporary, low-maintenance apartments that each pair intelligent, ergonomic design with stylish décor and energy-efficient features, along with superb communal facilities, including a spacious lounge for regular social meetups and well-maintained landscaped gardens.
A House Manager will take care of the day-to-day running of the development, while a secure entry system and 24-hour emergency call points will provide added peace-of-mind.
More than 9 out of 10 customers would recommend McCarthy Stone to a friend, meaning it has received the full Five Star award for customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation. McCarthy Stone is the only UK housebuilder of any size or type to achieve this rating every year it has taken part in the survey.
