We are not getting old in the way that we used to and PegasusLife (part of Lifestory), the property developer that is rethinking and reinventing the places and ways in which we live as we get older, knows that only too well. As the leading provider of stylish and prestigious retirement developments with a difference PegasusLife is transforming the choices we make, as three of their developments more than illustrate.
If you thought retirement living was undesirable, then One Bayshill Road in the fashionable Montpellier district of the stunning spa town of Cheltenham will make you think again. From the beautiful white stucco Regency colonnaded entrance, be led through a series of stylish and welcoming shared areas which offer the sort of highend experience which has taken its inspiration from the luxury hotel industry. Owners can take advantage of the relaxing Wellness Spa with herbal sauna and salt and steam room. Or enjoy a delicious locally sourced meal in the bustling open plan restaurant, The Larder. The elegant owners lounge and a state-of-the-art equipped gym and stretch studio all add up to retirement living but not as we know it. Beyond the comfort and elegance though, the over-riding sense here is one of community.
