Downsizing – The Golden Opportunity

The children have grown-up and left, now the family home feels too big. It’s a bit of a handful to maintain and certainly expensive to run. You know there’s some equity in its bricks and mortar and the countryside is calling but you don’t want to be too far from the grand children. So where can you go?

Maybe you’re already living in the area and fancy moving to that little village you love, or the new development you really like the sound of but you are unsure of what your next move should be to help realise your dream.

Or perhaps your career path is changing course and you no longer need to trudge into the city every day. You’ve reached the stage where it would be good to sell your home, put some money in the bank, take a step back and ‘smell the roses’. Yet you can’t do that in ‘Suburbia’, can you?

Well these are just three of the many reasons why, if you’re in your golden years and looking to downsize, you come and talk to Simpson & Partners and let us introduce you to ‘North Londonshire’. For here, amongst the boundary lines where the four counties of Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire meet, is some of England’s most scenic countryside.

Travelling across it by train, a seemingly undiscovered land of open skies and rolling farmland rushes past the window and it’s hard to believe London’s under an hour away. Turn the car off any main road and you’re soon driving down winding country lanes through idyllic rural residential settings with village greens boasting duck ponds and thatched pubs.

It’s a widely divergent region of thriving conurbations and tiny hamlets, where modern-day new home developments co-exist alongside Elizabethan estates. Moreover, it’s a place of abundant living space where the very affordable property prices simply do not reflect the excellent quality of life that’s on offer here. Certainly, if you are used to Home County’s price tags you will be amazed at what you can afford here. From period town houses and tucked-away country cottages, to exclusive new homes offering all the trappings of 21st century living within a friendly, vibrant community - it’s all waiting for you here.

And that’s where Simpson & Partners come in. For we are the down-sizing experts with the local knowledge and expertise to work with you to help you plan, locate and introduce you to the home of your dreams. To find out more contact us and make the most of your golden opportunity.
