Enjoy an active retirement at Eastbank Court
WHETHER you’re a gastronome, sporty type or a theatre goer, a move to Eastbank Court offers plenty of opportunities to spend your leisure time enjoying your hobbies in the company of like-minded individuals. A thriving social scene has blossomed at the Aspen Retirement development in the Northwick area of Worcester.
Owner-occupied, spacious apartments are complemented by hotel-style facilities that enable homeowners to make the most of their surroundings. New neighbours have struck up firm friendships, participating in a range of activities together and forming a social committee to organise events and days out.
Aspen’s Hettie Shore explains: “The great thing about moving to somewhere like Eastbank Court is that it offers companionship. Homeowners tell us that they love the sense of camaraderie as it enables them to try new hobbies or rekindle something they’ve previously enjoyed. For example, we have a games table in the activities room and a selection of board games in the library and if you’re looking for someone to play a game of pool or Scrabble with we can hook you up with an opponent.
“The licensed restaurant isn’t simply somewhere to meet friends and neighbours for a leisurely lunch, it’s also the venue for a weekly exercise class. The bar area and the main lounge are hives of activity hosting sing-a-long afternoons and performances by visiting musicians. There’s also a games console in the bar which is lots of fun as it can be used to play virtual sports such as tennis. To keep minds active we have a regular quiz evening and bingo.”
Other activities homeowners can participate in if they wish include weekly film nights and knit and natter sessions. Trips to the theatre are also popular. Current availability at Eastbank Court includes one and two-bedroom apartments, priced from £184,950, or from only £147,960 with Aspen Assist. The Aspen Assist shared equity scheme gives people aged 70 and over the option to pay just 80% of the purchase price, with Aspen retaining the remaining 20% until the property is resold at a later date.
Regular domestic help is included in a monthly service charge, which also covers buildings insurance, window cleaning and maintaining the gardens and communal areas. There’s a manager on duty around the clock for added peace of mind, with the option to add extra care if and when it’s needed.
Located on Eastbank Drive, Northwick, the Aspen Retirement development is ideally placed in a quiet residential area. There’s a post office, shop and chemist just 250 yards away, as well as the bus stop for journeys into the city centre. There are even motorised scooters available for homeowners to hire.
Visit the development where the Sales Of fice is open from Tuesday to Saturday 10am - 4pm. For more information call 01905 455 182 or see www.aspenretirement.co.uk/developments/eastbank-court.
