Less than 5 miles from Northampton town center in East Hunsbury, King Richard Court is a higher-service retirement complex that offers independent living within a welcoming and friendly community.


Choose from one of 52 spacious apartments settled within two beautiful paved and planted courtyards that are surrounded by countryside views. The Court is run by its own management company, and has 24-hour on-site staff who oversee the property to ensure the constant safety of all Owners, providing help and support where needed. 

Owners can enjoy a variety of activities hosted in their lounge, with daily morning coffee and afternoon tea, and a selection of DVDs to watch! Alternatively, the popular hobbies room is home to scrabble, bingo, arts and crafts and keep fit classes.

The Owners cafe is open three days a week – Monday, Wednesday and Friday – and serves a variety of café-style meals alongside weekly specials, all prepared by the in-house catering team. Relax as the housekeeping assistants complete a weekly detailed 90-minute cleaning of your dwelling, as well as maintenance of all communal areas. Share this luxury experience with friends and family and utilise the guest suite for overnight stays and weekend getaways!

The Court is surrounded by a variety of local amenities, with a Tesco supermarket opposite the Court, a hospital, Northampton railway station, and a vast array of leisure shopping all close by. Visit the unmissable Delapre Estate and Golf Course, an award-winning dining experience set within a neo-classical mansion originating as a nunnery. Sywell Country Park is the perfect spot for a peaceful stroll or family day out, with scenic lakeside walking trails, a butterfly farm and picnic spots. Head over to the Northampton Museum & Art Gallery and indulge in the engaging local history exhibits and famously large shoe collection or go back in time to Queen Eleanor’s Cross, steeped in history as one of the few surviving crosses commemorating Queen Eleanor.
