The events of the past year have made us all reassess our home environments and the way in which we live – and this is certainly true for the over 55s. An increasing number of mature homeowners and their families are realizing the benefits of being part of a retirement community – and of owning a brand new home, particularly one on an award-winning development like The Farthings, Leatherhead.
Set in beautifully landscaped, fully maintained grounds on the fringes of open countryside, The Farthings is an exclusive collection of 35 elegant houses and apartments by leading retirement developer, Beechcroft. The development features a communal lounge where owners are able to meet and socialize and a luxurious guest suite that may be booked for guests. There’s a wonderful sense of community at The Farthings and homeowners can take advantage of additional services on offer at the neighboring care home – including hot daily meals, hairdressing, and social events.
The estate management service provides peace of mind for homeowners and their families. Not only does the Manager take responsibility for cleaning and maintaining the communal areas, organizing external window cleaning, and the upkeep of both the communal and private gardens, he is on hand to help residents. During recent months, the Estate Manager at The Farthings has taken on extra cleaning duties and a whole range of tasks for those residents who have been staying at home.
Only one home remains available at The Farthings – an elegant, three-bedroom house with plenty of living space including a generously proportioned drawing room, a separate dining room, and a sunroom. The kitchen is fitted with a full range of integrated appliances and there’s a useful ground floor cloakroom with a utility area, where you’ll find the washing machine/tumble dryer. The en-suite master bedroom is on the first floor along with the guest bedroom and a bathroom and, on the top floor, is another en-suite bedroom. The master bedroom has a private balcony and the sunroom opens onto a terrace and a private garden. This stylish new home is priced at £550,000.
There are so many benefits of buying a new home: you’ll be the first to use the kitchen and bathrooms and you can be sure that your home has been deep cleaned before you move in. You won’t need to spend money on extras; all Beechcroft homes come complete with high-quality flooring and fitted wardrobes to at least two of the bedrooms.
“These new homes have the ‘wow factor,” said Mr. and Mrs. Walker, homeowners at The Farthings. “Beechcroft has created such a high-quality product and the team has put some thought into maximizing the living space. It’s nice to be able to have a proper dining area and the rooms all link into one another. The sunroom is beautiful; we sit in there with a coffee and the newspapers and then go into the drawing-room and really make ourselves comfortable.”
