Mill Hill - a downsizer’s dream

Imagine downsizing to a stunning leafy environment, in a bungalow close to London, and enjoying life with more spending money, lower living costs and fewer maintenance costs.

Countryside Properties is making this dream a reality and is breathing new life into a retirement community at Re: on Hammers Lane in Mill Hill, which comprises 71 one and two bedroom bungalows and 15 apartments specifically for the over 55s.

These superb homes redefine the concept of retirement living, combining the comfort and convenience of a newly refurbished home, with all the charm of a traditional bungalow set in the peaceful surroundings of the Mill Hill conservation area parkland.

Yvonne Hudson-Green, Sales and Marketing Director for Countryside Properties, comments: “This is a unique opportunity to purchase bungalows in a truly stunning location so close to London. Properties like these, where you can personalise kitchens and bathrooms, and select flooring, very rarely come to the market.”

The homes are undergoing substantial refurbishment. Originally built in the 1930s, these homes include an array of period features such as high ceilings and deep windows, but the refurbishment will enhance the properties through the installation of brand new heating systems, contemporary kitchens and bathrooms, and amending room layouts to better suit modern lifestyles.

Residents at Re: will be able to take advantage of the facilities within the Marshall Hall Estate, directly opposite the development. These include a shop and new community hall with a library and activity areas, with rooms for a visiting chiropodist and a hairdresser.

Each home includes an individually designed fitted kitchen with granite worktops and stainless steel accessories. The bathrooms include sleek modern sanitaryware with chrome fittings and heated towel rails. Throughout the homes the internal doors are of a flush oak finish and each master bedroom has built-in wardrobes.

Mill Hill is bordered by green belt land to the north and south and has miles of pathways through parkland, woodland and open spaces. There are lots of clubs and societies that offer everything from amateur dramatics to bowling and a superb 18 hole, par 70 golf course set in mature woodland.

With both a London underground station on the Northern line (Mill Hill East) and the Thameslink mainline railway service (Mill Hill Broadway) the bright lights of London are very accessible.
