Buying a Lodge For Your Retirement

16th December 2016

Whether you are heading for retirement or have already retired, money can become something that weighs on your mind. London living, as we all know, can be very expensive and not entirely relaxing: the thought of moving to the countryside can pop into most people’s minds after retirement.

If you’re asking yourself ‘what is a retirement property that suits my need?’ then look no further than Dream Lodge. We have a number of luxury lodge homes for sale, all in various styles and sizes, and all available in our eight beautiful county locations. These include parks in Devon, Berkshire, Cornwall, East Sussex, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge. Here you’ll discover the most comfortable living conditions in some of the most picturesque UK locations, taking out some of the stresses of day to day living.

Here are just some of the advantages you can enjoy when buying a retirement home with us.

Stop Draining your Finances

The average house price in London now stands at £579,758, which means retirement homes for sale in the capital could end up costing you your life savings. The lodges in our country parks range in price and start at £180,000, so you could have the potential to free up a lot of money to start doing more of the things you enjoy. Our exceptional quality lodges and low maintenance materials also mean that when it comes to buying a lodge with us, you don’t have to worry about additional repair or structural costs. You don’t even need to fuss about furnishing and decorating, as your new Dream Lodge retirement property will be all ready to move in.

Live a Healthier Life

Moving to the country from the city will not only improve your health but your mood too. Various studies have proved that city dwellers don’t handle stress and anxiety as well as those who live around greenery. What’s more, it has been found that the part of the brain that deals with stress and emotion doesn’t handle large crowds of people well. What more evidence is needed to up sticks now?

Studies also prove that when surrounded by large amounts of greenery, people become less stressed and less susceptible to suffer from anxiety and depression. On top of all of this, living in the country means you are breathing fresher air with less pollution. As our retirement villages are surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, you’ll not only benefit from the beautiful sights every day but also from the healthier lifestyle that comes with it.

A Better Standard of Living

Ask yourself how often you have awoken to the sound of silence? Almost never we suspect. You’re much more likely to be disturbed from your slumber by the sound of traffic and horns from the busy streets. When you leave your home, you are constantly surrounded by people but can feel lonely in the busy rush hour where everyone is in a hurry. Living in the country means you only see people when you want to and when you do come into contact with strangers, let’s be honest, they are generally a lot friendlier in the country.

Living alone at one of our lodge parks means you will meet all kinds of different people wanting to relax and enjoy themselves, just like you. Our friendly country park teams work together to keep the parks tidy and peaceful. When you want to spend a day alone and get stuck into that book you just bought, it’s the quietest place to be, but if you fancy a natter, there’s always someone around who are happy to put the world to rights with you. There’s no better sense of community than at a Dream Lodge Park.

Our retirement villages are also family and pet-friendly, so you are always welcome to have your loved ones visit. And when they do, they’ll be able to enjoy the neighbouring beaches, sights of natural beauty and the sheer abundance of fun activities and shopping opportunities that surround each and every one of our parks. With so much to see and do, your grandchildren won’t ever want to leave.

With Dream Lodge, you can enjoy the slower pace of life. You’ll really notice a difference in how you feel at the end of the day when you haven’t been rushing around and instead, soaked up the great British country lifestyle or spent some quality time with your family and friends. If all that hasn’t helped you make up your mind, the countryside has a much lower crime rate, giving you peace of mind in your new home.
