Give retirement a trial run

You wouldn’t buy a new pair of shoes without trying them on or a new car without giving it a test run, so why should a new home be any different? Bovis Homes age exclusive development at Holmesdale Manor near Redhill, Surrey is offering potential purchasers an exceptional opportunity to test run a chic new home before they buy.

The development, tailored for mature residents offers a range of stylish one and two bedroom apartments where homebuyers over the age of 55 can enjoy a secure and independent lifestyle in a friendly community setting.

Tim Nabbs, Sales and Marketing Director of Bovis Homes (South East) comments: “Moving house can be a very big decision for older homebuyers, giving up a home they may have lived in for many years. Bovis Homes is offering potential purchasers a fantastic opportunity to come and experience both a new home and the lifestyle available their developments. This service offers buyers peace of mind when choosing a new home at the scheme and they can be certain they are making the right decision by joining this lively community.”

The new homes at Holmesdale Manor are already proving popular. The classic style of the properties is appealing to a variety of older buyers, combining characteristic, traditional architecture with fresh modern interiors. Feature fireplaces with electrical fires form a focal point of the living room as well the heart of the home. Stylish kitchens come fully fitted with a range of integrated appliances including an oven, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer and residents can choose their own tiles and finishings.

In tune with the needs of an older resident, apartments at Holmesdale Manor have been designed to make life a little easier and help take the stress out of everyday tasks; with safety and simplicity in mind, quality fixtures, sockets and fittings are positioned at a considerate height for everyone to use, whilst electrically operated windows make life easier in the kitchen. Furthermore, Holmesdale Manor offers superb mobility standards enabling easy access for those who require a wheel chair or who may do at a later date.

For added peace of mind, each apartment has a built in call system and owners are provided with a personal mobile alert device providing access to 24 hour a day assistance. Secure car parking behind electrical gates ensures that residents can park their car safely and with ease.

Tim continues: “Retirement living has come on a long way over the last five years and there are now so many more opportunities for older homeowners. The key ethos of our retirement homes is independence; residents have the control and they choose how they live their life. They can be as involved or uninvolved with the development’s thriving community as they wish, but they have the peace of mind of knowing that support is there if they want it.”
