New apartments redefine retirement in St Helens

'Beautiful', 'smashing' and 'very impresive' were some of the comments from Glenys Ellaby, Keith Garvey and Ben Shuttleworth - just three of the many visitors that attended the opening of Miller Homes, Scholars Way apartments that are set to redefine retirement in St Helens.

In fact so impressive were the apartments that the Ben and Jean Shuttleworth were going to put their home on the market the very next day, to secure one of the eight luxury apartments.

Helen Toher-Horne, Miller Homes’ Sales Manager explained why these apartments break new ground: “Gone are the stayed images of retirement, the over 55’s these days enjoy life to the full. And Miller Homes have designed a property just for them.”

At the beautiful Scholars Way development on the northern edge of St Helens, Miller Homes is offering a choice of spacious luxury apartments specifically with this active generation in mind. The idea of moving here is boosted by the individuality and independence offered by the two designs of luxury apartments available. Allowing buyers to downsize without compromise, possibly freeing up capital tied up in bricks and mortar and boosting the retirement coffers in to the bargain.

“This is a very exclusive development” says Helen “Surrounding the apartments are a few large 4 and 5 bedroom houses, so the whole environment is designed for discerning buyers and to complement the architecture in this well established, sought-after area.”

Scholars Way is located in the attractive suburb of Windle, convenient for the A580, East-Lancs Road and the M57, M6 motorways. Ideal for shopping trips to Liverpool or Manchester and for both international airports.

“An apartment lifestyle offers many advantages” Helen added, “Low maintenance with no gardening chores or DIY and neighbourly security, to mention the most popular reasons people prefer an apartment. Add to this the specification each of these apartments features and you can see why we are already receiving strong interest in these properties.”

The specification is impressive; private courtyard parking, landscaped grounds, lift service to all floors, an en-suite master bedroom as well as elegant living space designed to be bright and welcoming. Both the bedrooms are very capacious, allowing the second bedroom to easily accommodate both a study and a guest bed. There are low maintenance uPVC double glazed windows throughout, gas central heating and a ten-year NHBC warranty, giving buyers peace of mind for years to come. Opening offers include MiSwap, Miller Homes’ 100% part exchange option designed to help buyers with a property to sell. The initiative was specifically created to make buying quicker and easier – with Miller Homes purchasing customers’ existing houses at a fair and independently assessed price.

The show apartment provides an opportunity to see the quality and luxury available. A visit to the development will also allow you to meet the Miller Homes people and discuss all the options. It is open Thursday through to Monday 10.30 am to 5.30pm. Scholars Way is located off Rainford Road, Windle, St Helens, WA10 6BX.
