Warren Court provides the perfect downsizing solution

Downsizing is a lifestyle change that can open up a world of opportunities, but it is not a decision to be taken lightly. Moving out of a much-loved home can seem daunting but thanks to Warren Court, a new development by Millgate Homes in Ashtead, exclusively for over 65s and offering a lifestyle akin to that at a private members’ club, you can now downsize without compromise.

Ashtead resident Derek Hemment feels that Warren Court provides the ideal downsizing solution for his parents:

"My parents were living in Old Coulsden and I was increasingly aware that their existing home was becoming more than they could cope with in terms of maintenance. I was also concerned that, should they need my assistance, the journey from my home in Ashtead was too far for comfort. Having discussed the options, we began looking at various developments aimed at the retirement market to get a feel for what was available.

"When I heard that Millgate was building Warren Court in Ashtead, we decided to wait as it seemed like the ideal opportunity had arisen. My parents really like the concept – particularly as thanks to the smallness of the development it feels very exclusive and not at all institutionalised. They are also within walking distance of the village shops, so will retain their independence. The fact that the communal drawing room and concierge service are available to use when they wish is a bonus and for added peace of mind I am only a 15 minute walk or a few minutes drive away.

"Everything added up and, despite the fact that I was abroad on the day of the launch, a friend stood in for me and ensured we reserved our preferred plot. We are all genuinely excited about the difference the move will make to our lives."

In addition to the privacy of their own apartment purchasers at Warren Court will enjoy a beautifully furnished residents’ drawing room with state-of-the-art entertainment system, presenting the ideal opportunity to meet and socialise with other residents. Meanwhile, a concierge will be on hand to take care of things like taking deliveries, making restaurant and theatre reservations, and booking transport to and from airports.

For day-to-day needs, Ashtead’s bustling village high street, just ½ a mile distant, offers a thriving community and an excellent range of shops. And to help make the lifestyle change even easier, Millgate is offering to take the stress out of the sale of your existing property with its Assisted Move scheme.

With up to £7,500 toward agent’s fees relating to the sale of your existing property, £1,000 toward legal fees and £1,000 towards removal costs on offer, subject to terms and conditions, the ‘Assisted Move’ package could help make the move you have been waiting for a reality. The scheme also includes a handyman for the day once you have moved into your new Millgate apartment, to help with those fiddly jobs such as fitting curtain rails and fixing pictures.

All things considered, it’s little wonder that over 25% of the apartments at this exclusive new address are already reserved off-plan. Prices range from £249,950 to £360,000. To find out whether the Assisted Move scheme could help you downsize without compromise, visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, open daily from 10am – 4pm, Tel. 01372 276098. Outside of these hours, call selling agent Patrick Gardner & Co on 01372 360832 or visit www.millgatehomes.co.uk
