When Ron and Shirley Phillips decided to downsize they had little idea just how much of a difference it would make to their lives – but finding the right property in the first place proved a challenge; until they discovered North Court by Millgate Homes as Ron explains:
“Quite by chance, we noticed that a house belonging to friends of ours was on the market and we were intrigued to find out where they were moving to, as their requirements were similar to ours. They told us about North Court by Millgate Homes, how they had fallen in love with the development and bought off plan. We visited the site on the following Sunday and within 48 hours had reserved our apartment despite our house not being on the market – it was nothing short of perfect.”

Settled into their new home, the Phillips’ are now reaping the benefits:
“We couldn’t be happier with our new home – we have a spacious apartment surrounded by beautiful grounds that we don’t have to maintain – and the security is excellent. Since the move, we have spent more time travelling than we would ever have felt comfortable doing before, safe in the knowledge that our home will be exactly as we left it. Downsizing was the best move we have made, giving us the freedom to do as we please without the responsibility of a large house and gardens to maintain. The development also has a great community - we are surrounded by people with similar interests and, while we have our privacy, we are lucky enough to live next to people we enjoy socialising with."
