Esprit in Poole is a collection of 55 well-designed and affordable apartments. It’s aimed squarely at those over-55’s who are fed-up with the usual isolated locations and high costs of average retirement developments. A range of apartments are available, starting at £99,500 on a shared ownership basis. Each of the one and two-bedroom apartments has been carefully designed with resident independence at the forefront. The open-plan homes are flooded with natural light and the kitchens and bathrooms have all been equipped with the latest in low-maintenance, energy efficient technology. Balconies in the higher apartments offer sweeping views of the Dorset countryside and the harbour.
