The future of housing for the over 55’s

Recent statistics show that the number of people aged over 65 will grow by 50% in the next 20 years to a staggering 14.5 million*. How to house this ageing population is high on government agendas, but for forward thinking developers, such as Countryside Properties, developments like Mill Rise, in Mill Hill, North London, hold the key.

Chris Crook, Subsidiary Managing Director, Countryside Properties, comments: “Unlocking capital from large family homes is a sensible option for the older generation, but a classic ‘retirement property’ is not suitable for the majority of downsizers, as they are still working and enjoy their independence. Developments such as Mill Rise are ideal because they are very spacious and contemporary inside, but also easy to maintain.

“There is no compromise with outside space either, as the development is set in the Mill Hill Conservation Area and surrounded by eight acres of attractive mature landscaping, with far-reaching views across North London. With an on site concierge service Mill Rise, meets the demands for the modern downsizer, and its popularity is evidenced by the fact that there are only six properties left for sale.”

Mill Rise is available exclusively to purchasers over 55 and offers residents a luxurious and comfortable lifestyle. The properties feature traditional red brick work, tiled gabled roofs and large bay windows with contemporary interiors. Each property is fully fitted with an individually designed kitchen, which includes a range of integrated appliances.

Mill Rise is well located for access to Mill Hill Broadway, which offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants and cafes. Mill Hill East underground station is approximately 1.3 miles away and Mill Hill Broadway, which is serviced by the Thameslink line, is approximately 2.2 miles away**

Only six one and two bedroom bungalows remain and prices start from £235,000. The marketing suite is open from 1pm to 5pm on Mondays and 10:00am to 5:00pm from Thursday to Sunday. For more information visit: millrisehomes.net
