Countryside meets housing demand for downsizers
Recent research shows that while demand for downsizing is growing, there is a substantial lack of suitable housing supply in the UK, particularly among older homeowners who are looking to boost their retirement income. Those looking to downsize without compromising on quality now have an excellent opportunity with the luxury Visari Building apartments on offer at Countryside’s Aura, in the picturesque city of Cambridge. The spacious apartments, which boast a superior specification offer the perfect location for homeowners at the top of the property ladder looking to downsize.
Aura is a collection of homes ranging from two bedroom apartment and three-bedroom penthouses, through to expansive four and five bedroom homes. The homes in the Visari Building are beautifully furnished throughout, with contemporary interiors and decked terraces. The development is part of the wider Great Kneighton development, and is nestled in idyllic green open spaces and tree lined avenues, while still conveniently located close to an enticing range of amenities.
Andrew Loveday, Sales Director at Countryside comments: “People looking to downsize want to reduce costs and maintenance, but not reduce their quality of living, and we are delighted at Countryside to be able to offer these luxury apartments at Aura that do just that. These homes are sure to appeal to a range of downsizers, and we urge potential buyers to register their interest quickly so as not to miss out on this rare opportunity.”
