Downsizing in style at The Chains, Corbridge

The property market is always a huge talking point, which affects us all at some point, but more often than not, the emphasis is on first-time buyers and those looking to upgrade.

However, there is a huge market for people who wish to downsize, couples whose children have flown the nest to go it alone, and are now looking to set up in a smaller property in a more relaxing environment.

At The Chains in Corbridge, Charles Church has a spectacular development tailor-made for couple’s downsizing or looking to retire in style.

It’s an attractive proposition for people in this position to find somewhere that has access to key amenities, but ensures that, at the same time, they receive the pace of life suited to them.

The Chains as a development is a mixture of one, two, three, four and five-bedroom homes but also hosts a range of apartments, designed in keeping with the surrounding area – a traditional town, renowned for its Roman heritage and described locally as a ‘jewel in the crown’. Many of the local buildings are made from Roman stone.

A quintessential characteristic to Corbridge is the feeling of escapism, an almost necessity for the retiring couple or those looking for a quieter side to life. It’s a sleepy village with a range of craft, food and gift shops, together with a mixture of excellent restaurants and hotels. Corbridge also plays host to the Northumberland County Show, held annually in May, and has good transport links to the popular and vibrant Newcastle.

Downsizing is not seen as a glamorous exercise. It conjures up thoughts of going from a large home with space to living on top of one another in a pokey flat somewhere – well that is certainly no the case with Charles Church at The Chains.

Spacious, with plenty of storage and to high specification, Charles Church offers you quality when moving back down the property ladder, and at The Chains, in surroundings to compliment the lifestyle.
