\"Audley<\/a>Don\u2019t wait until you have to move into a retirement village advises JANE SLADE, free yourself from stress and worry and move before you need to<\/h3>\n

With more retirement developments and villages offering state-of-the-art facilities and spacious and modern accommodation, it is no wonder that retired professionals are moving\u00a0before they need to so they can spend their remaining years living the dream and enjoying life rather than worrying about the leaky gutter.<\/p>\n

Nick Sanderson, CEO of Audley Retirement, which has built five stunning retirement villages in England, has long argued that living in a retirement village can actually extend people\u2019s lifespan and help them lead happy, healthier lives.<\/p>\n

And Alan and Claire Garnett who moved into Audley Binswood last year clearly agree.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur lives have changed profoundly for the better since we moved,\u201d said Alan, 74, (pictured below) the retired boss of the Morgan Motor Company.\"sample006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOur relocation coincided with both of us retiring from running our own businesses and so we had the twin benefit of an excellent new home coupled with the glorious release from perpetual obligation!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is difficult to find words that describe the daily pleasure of being in a luxury environment where one\u2019s every wish seems to be happily accommodated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Garnetts moved from their five-bedroom house which had been their family home for 31 years, just 15 miles from where they live now, Binswood Hall in Leamington Spa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though they don\u2019t own a property abroad they love travelling and intend to spend up to 12 weeks a year abroad and pursuing their passion for golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we moved, we seem to have nothing but free time”, adds Alan. \u201cMy wife swims most days in the heated pool downstairs. We are occasional users of the gym. We would never miss the quiz night nor any of the visits to theatres \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cOur chief passion, however, is golf and we play this together at every given opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim for three holidays each year including a month in Spain spanning the Christmas period.<\/p>\n

\"sample005\"<\/a>\u201cMy wife is not long back from a six-week holiday to Australia and we have our sights set on a return to some of the American golf courses we have enjoyed over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cHolidays now we are at Binswood can be more spontaneous and we have no thought about security while we are away.<\/p>\n

“(How we used to hate rigging up bulbs to come on and off at various times in a desperate hope that we were fooling the local villains)!<\/p>\n

Alan advises others to make the move.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmbrace the challenge and delight in the fact that there are no more lawns to mow, no more windows to clean, no more trying to remember the day the bins go out, no more worry about home insurance and no more worry about security when you are away from your property.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, it is necessary to calculate the monthly costs of living in a brilliant Binswood complex but once you truly calculate all of the costs of running your previous home, you may feel the expenditure is quite realistic.<\/p>\n

\"Swimming<\/a>\u201cThe facilities at Binswood are simply remarkable,\u201d he adds. \u201cLuxurious heated pool, gymnasium, fine dining restaurant, bistro bar, library, spa facilities, hairdresser and the d\u00e9cor is simply sumptuous. Beautiful china pieces, magnificent portraits, all housed in a beautiful 1830s building.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn every sense, we consider this our \u2018Country Club\u2019 within easy walking distance of Leamington town centre. Lucky, lucky us!\u201d<\/p>\n
