You never know what the future holds – the last two years have certainly taught us that. That’s why it’s important to seize life with both hands and make the most of now. If you’re over 65, that may mean finally making the move to a retirement community such as the wonderful Inspired Villages.

“Despite being in the midst of a global pandemic, we have seen a 40% increase in enquiries to live in our villages,” says James Cobb, Director of the award-winning retirement village operator and developer. “Retirement can be a time of great freedom, particularly if you live in a retirement village. Not only are you free from the responsibilities of young children and work, but if you ‘right size’ to one of our villages, you are no longer burdened with worries about maintaining a large home or security.”

Inspired Villages more than delivers when it comes to creating a dream lifestyle for residents. It currently operates six retirement villages in picturesque locations spanning the UK, from Devon up to Cheshire, with two more due to open this year – Ledian Gardens in Kent and Elderswell in Bedfordshire. Each village has stylish, discreetly age-appropriate apartments and cottages, beautifully landscaped gardens and state-of-the-art facilities, including gyms, swimming pools, restaurants, libraries, cinemas and spas.

Durrants Village in West Sussex has a tranquil lake, while Great Alne Park in Warwickshire has a grass amphitheatre used for concerts, talks and plays, and several villages have wildflower meadows and allotments for residents to enjoy. The Inspired teams also organise numerous events and activities throughout the year.

“Here, you know everyone,” says Dave and his wife Susan, who are residents at Great Alne Park. “We all see each other and say hello, and socialise in the restaurant and bar at coffee mornings, lunches and dinners – we’re much more sociable now than we used to be!”

And with purchase, rent and shared ownership options available, you can be sure the life you aspire to is very much within easy reach.
