Something for everyone at Cypress Grange

When it comes to looking for a new home, to retire to, everybody has different priorities. Looking for somewhere close to family and friends, or a place which enables you to maintain your independence can often be difficult when considering a retirement home.

However, at the David Wilson Retirement Homes’ development, Cypress Grange in Bromsgrove, homebuyers can find total peace of mind.

When it was time for Mrs Eve Tromans to move from her home in Romsley, she immediately took up the chance to purchase one of the one bedroom apartments available at Cypress Grange, Eve explains: “When I was looking for somewhere to move to, I wanted something that was close to my daughter. Cypress Grange is only a five minutes walk away from where she lives, so it was the perfect choice. David Wilson Retirement Homes also made the whole process of moving as stress free as possible, through their Part Exchange scheme; they even paid the agent’s fees and looked after the selling of my old home.”

The development benefits from a friendly house manager, who oversees the day to day running of the development and is on hand should any of the residents require assistance, a service which the residents find invaluable, Eve comments: “I recently underwent a hip operation, after which my daughter was able to come and stay with me at the development, and the house manager along with the rest of the staff made sure that I was well looked after on a day to day basis. The level of service I have received has been phenomenal. All of the retirement apartments are also linked to a 24 hour Care-line system should emergency assistance be required, which gives great peace of mind.”

Cypress Grange offers a mix of one and two bedroom apartments, and is set amongst beautiful landscaped surroundings, situated within a short distance of local amenities. With a friendly mix of neighbours and a strong community spirit, residents are able to maintain an independent lifestyle, something Mr Peter Turner knows all about.

Having lived in the Bromsgrove area for 46 years, Peter decided to move from his three bedroom home, following the loss of his wife ten years ago. Peter comments: “I purchased my two bedroom apartment a few months ago and I haven’t looked back since. The development has everything you could possibly need, and is close to the local shops, which is great for my daily walk, as I like to keep active.

“My daughters played a large part in helping me choose my new home, and the best part about the development is that I still have enough room for them to come and stay with me, without having to worry about all the day to day up keep of a larger property.”

Cypress Grange also benefits from a service team who take care of all external maintenance at the development including window cleaning, something which was a huge draw for Mrs Mary Dyer. Mary comments: I suffer from arthritis very badly and needed to move from my old cottage home as it was becoming very unmanageable, both physically for me and also in maintenance and upkeep. After visiting Cypress Grange I immediately took up the chance to purchase a one bedroom apartment. The maintenance team ensures that I don’t have to worry about the day to day upkeep problems I had with my old home and I can now start to enjoy my retirement the way I should.”

In addition to the service team, security is also a priority and each apartment includes an advanced security system, with television surveillance at the main entrance. There are also two beautifully furnished day rooms, in the downstairs day room home owners can enjoy regular coffee mornings with like minded people. The upstairs day room offers a quiet relaxing atmosphere to sit and read or meet with neighbours for a chat.

Sales director Louise Ware, comments: “Every purchaser has different priorities when it comes to buying a new home. Finding a genuinely first rate location, with quality high specification accommodation and superior after sales care are always high on purchasers’ lists, but we know that it is especially important when it comes to searching for a place to live in retirement.

“At Cypress Grange we have considered all of the priorities to provide purchasers with a genuinely perfect mix to allow ease in day to day life, and also maintain an independent lifestyle. The friendly residents and staff also mean there is a strong community spirit at the development, making it a truly unique place in which to find your new home.”

The development recently saw the opening of two brand new showhomes; the one bedroom Fir apartment and the eagerly anticipated two bedroom Beech apartment.

Properties at Cypress Grange range in price from £180,000 for a one bedroom Fir apartment to £238,000 for a two bedroom Ash apartment.
