There was lots to smile about when a celebrity antiques expert officially opened a new retirement living development on the outskirts of Ellesmere Port.
Willaston retirees were delighted to welcome David Harper for the grand opening of McCarthy Stone’s Symonds Grange on Hooton Road, the BBC antiques expert performing a special ribbon-cutting ceremony before sharing details of his illustrious career.
Guests at the event, including proud homeowners at Symonds Grange and their friends and family, spent time chatting to David whilst enjoying a light buffet and celebratory drinks, before taking a guided tour.

Commenting on his visit, David Harper said: “I was delighted to be invited to Symonds Grange for the grand opening. It was so wonderful to meet with all the homeowners and their guests and an absolute joy to be a part of the celebrations here in Willaston.”
Louise Flynn, divisional marketing manager for McCarthy Stone, added: “The opening was a fantastic occasion and our guests thoroughly enjoyed meeting David and learning more about his fascinating career. On behalf of the team and our homeowners, we’d like to say a huge thank you to him for making it such a memorable experience.”
Symonds Grange features 30 one and two-bedroom luxury retirement apartments designed to meet the specific needs of the over 60s, and enviable shared spaces where new friendships can flourish. These include a spacious lounge and landscaped gardens, along with a guest suite for when loved ones stay overnight.
For peace of mind, there is a house manager on-site during office hours to oversee the day-to-day running of the development, in addition to a 24-hour emergency call system and door camera entry. For more information, visit www.mccarthystone.co.uk/symonds-grange.
