<\/a>The Village is\u00a0ideal for those who want to free themselves from the worries of owning and maintaining a large home and garden.<\/p>\nWoodchester Valley owners want to spend their time enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n
And there is plenty to enjoy.<\/p>\n
As well as rural walks, you\u2019re never far from the sound of running water coming from a river or lake, or the gardens and the Village\u2019s own orchard.<\/p>\n
Many of the properties have their own gardens with contractors on hand to assist, and allotments producing fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs.<\/p>\n
Well-behaved and socialised pets are welcome, and when the time comes to say goodbye to your beloved companion, successors are welcome.<\/p>\n
There are staff on duty 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s open every day, so if you don\u2019t feel like cooking you can sit down to a freshly-prepared gourmet meal just a few yards from your front door.<\/p>\n The restaurant can also deliver freshly-cooked meals to you in the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n Daily coffee mornings and afternoon teas are very popular for resident get togethers and for new homeowners to meet and befriend existing ones.<\/p>\n Everyone is so friendly.<\/p>\n Homeowners often arrange shopping trips and even organise group holidays.<\/p>\n With its informal layout and mix of property types, the Village has a friendly supportive community feel.<\/p>\n Residents can be as sociable as they wish, confident in the knowledge that a helpful neighbour is not far away.<\/p>\n There are no profit-making shareholders like other retirement developments, so costs are tightly reviewed, well-managed and kept to a minimum<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n As a mutually-owned Village, the Village land is owned by a co-operative and residents are leaseholders. It also means that every leaseholder has a share, and a say, in the way the Village is run.<\/p>\n There are no profit-making shareholders like other retirement developments, so costs are tightly reviewed, well-managed and kept to a minimum. the Board of Directors is made up of residents and family members, who set direction.<\/p>\n We have experienced senior management staff to manage the services, delivered by a friendly and helpful team.<\/p>\n Residents and family members meet to discuss topics like the gardening and restaurant services in working groups.<\/p>\n Their views then get passed to the Board as recommendation, to be voted on by everyone, as needed. This means that discussions are open, decisions are made by a majority and carried out by an efficient, response team.<\/p>\n The Village has a well-stocked library, hairdresser, village shop, a \u2018Green Room\u2019 for small gatherings and The Octagon lounge for larger events.<\/p>\n The smart air-conditioned minibus offers regular shopping trips and is available for social excursions.<\/p>\n A housekeeping team provides cleaning and laundry services, while the maintenance team handles odd jobs and small repairs.<\/p>\n Reception staff will take deliveries when you’re out; deliver your newspapers and even let the dog out for a comfort break if you’re out for a few hours.<\/p>\n There’s always something happening to excite and interest residents; illustrated talks, musical recitals, quizzes, games afternoons, themed lunches and dinners, and wine tastings to mention a few.<\/p>\n There\u2019s plenty going on outside the village too.<\/p>\n The Cotswolds are particularly rich in tourist and shopping destinations.<\/p>\n One to four-bedroom homes are available at Woodchester Valley.<\/p>\n To sample this unique village, visit https:\/\/www.woodchestervalleyretirementvillage.co.uk\/<\/a>or contact the Village Manager at: manager@woodchestervalleyvillage.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/newclone.retiremove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-2021-01-15-at-12.36.20-816x1024.jpeg\")
