50-somethings live the dream at Scholars Way, St Helens

They say 50's are the new 30's as increasingly people are living longer, healthier, more active and have a greater disposable income. Free of commitments the fifty-somethings can contemplate having the time of their lives. 'Retire me, not likely, I'm too busy travelling, playing golf and working part-time' is how one resident at Miller Homes' Scholars Way aptly said.
"There is no need to even think of retirement homes if you are not retiring," said Shirley Andrews, Miller Homes sales adviser: "Consider your options, if your children have left home, do you really need to be paying the up keep of a big house? Energy bills, council tax, repairs and maintenance all eat away at your finances and leisure time. Isn't it better to release some of the hard earned equity in your property, sell-up and move-on. Don't see downsizing as preparing for a gentler way of life, but as a new beginning that opens up the lifestyle you have dreamt of - homes abroad, gym, golf, travel, it can be an exciting and invigorating time."
Miller Homes' Scholars Way successfully redefines the concept of a luxurious and comfortable lifestyle in St Helens leafy Windle suburb. This new residential community of expertly planned apartments exclusively to purchasers over 55, blends with 4 and 5-bedroom detached family homes.
