New Luxury Retirement Residence Opens In Kensington
Combining the finest design with exceptional amenities, 24/7 concierge service, the feel of a private members club with a close-knit community of like-minded residents; Riverstone represents the latest advancements in design, tech and well-being and showcases the future of later living in this country.
Riverstone Kensington is a city sanctuary offering exquisite apartments for sale with outstanding amenities, extraordinary service, and health support from GDPQ and bespoke care from The Good Care Group at Riverstone. With a primary focus on well-being, there is a Fitness Studio featuring state of the art E-GYM equipment, Vitality Pool, Spa & Treatment Rooms and beautifully landscaped gardens by award-winning designer, Andy Sturgeon.
Residents can relax with a newspaper in the Club Room, enjoy the latest film releases alongside movie classics in the private cinema, pick one of over 2000 books from the library and socialise with like-minded individuals over coffee - or something stronger! - at the bar. Kensington itself is a thriving cultural hotspot home to the Royal Albert Hall, the Design Museum, Royal Parks and the vibrant High Street full of designer shops.
The residence offers a unique collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, each with an outdoor terrace. They are highly specified, with simple, natural finishes, fitted wardrobes, utility and storage areas, which provide an elegant backdrop for treasured belongings. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers, slip resistant tiles and easy to use taps and controls. What’s more, the apartments are accessible, adaptable and can be easily modified to suit changing requirements.
In addition to the purchase costs for the leasehold apartment, residents pay a monthly membership fee which is fixed for the duration of ownership. This covers extensive services including a 24-hour concierge, well-being and general management of the property. Other benefits include The Riverstone Club, IT services, valet parking and a car service to local favourites, making day-to-day life easy to enjoy.
The newly launched Maria G’s is an independent neighbourhood restaurant and bar open to residents and the public alike from famed restaurateur Robin Gill. Guests can choose to dine at the marble counter or in the cosy green booths at the centre of the room. In the summer months, huge sliding doors will be opened connecting to the greenery outside, and diners can sit close to the herb gardens with the opportunity to use them, should they wish to grow their own.
Penny Hughes CBE, Chair of Riverstone, says: “Later living is being redefined. We are living longer and are demanding more from life. Riverstone is spearheading this movement through the delivery of exceptional individual and community living. We are the only prime central London offering of its kind, and we are excited to welcome our first residents to our Kensington residence.
