New Apartments For Over-55s Launched In Salisbury
Homeowners enjoyed a huge party to celebrate the launch of a new apartment complex within the Chapters over-55s community in Salisbury.
The Mayor of Salisbury, Cllr Tom Corbin, enjoyed a tour of the Nightingale Square apartment complex located in the Chapters independent-living village, based off Wilton Road, which is owned and operated by Platinum Skies. He then cut the ribbon in front of an invited group of guests including homeowners from across the whole Chapters community and Salisbury business people, who also enjoyed dancing to live music, ice cream, popcorn, and cake.
Every homeowner in Chapters has access to a wide range of communal facilities including a bistro and bar, homeowners’ lounge, activity room, treatment room, library, and guest suite. It also boasts two dedicated community managers, Jenny and Ashleigh, who organise fun activities to enable the homeowners to socialise including wine tasting workshops, Pilates, coffee mornings, quizzes, and crafts, as well as providing practical and emotional support.
Speaking at the launch, the Mayor said: “It was a real pleasure to be invited to the launch of Nightingale Square. I think that the sense of community that Chapters brings is really important and it’s something that we can all benefit from as a big part of our lives. The sense of joy and coming together that is given to all of the Chapters homeowners is a wonderful thing, which helps to promote good health and wellbeing.”
Alison Pratt, and her mum, Sheila, moved into Nightingale Square three months ago from Buckinghamshire. She said: “We really enjoy it here and we love our apartment. We came from a village which was very cut off, so we are enjoying the links with nearby shops and services here, and we really like the city and the cathedral. We had a little get-together recently with the other new Nightingale Square homeowners and mum really enjoyed it. She said that she likes everyone who lives here, and I agree that we have really nice neighbours.”
Chapters offers one-, two- and three-bedroom purpose-built apartments and neighbouring two- and three-bedroom houses and cottages with gardens. All homes are designed with accessibility and the future in mind featuring lifts to all floors, underfloor heating throughout, easy-to-use kitchens with NEFF appliances, and bathrooms with step-free showers.
Homes are available to buy in the Salisbury over-55s community from £135,000 with the Platinum Skies Shared Ownership option. Find out more at Platinumskies.co.uk.
