Stephenie’s Story: A Journey to Park Home Living
“I knew it was the right place for me.”
Perched on a peak in the beautiful Shropshire hills, Presthope Grange Residential Park offers an ideal location for those looking to downsize to the countryside amongst a small close-knit community. Nestled in the rolling Shropshire hills, the pet-friendly park promises a relaxed, peaceful and gentler pace of life, whilst being just five minutes from Much Wenlock, a traditional village housed in historical Medieval, Georgian and Victorian buildings, with all the necessary amenities.
After extensive research on park home living, Stephenie shares her story of moving into her brand new residential park home at Presthope Grange and her journey to find the perfect property.
Starting her Journey
“I needed a gated site and a nice friendly community so that I would feel safe in my later years.”
Excited yet nervous to embark on her new adventure alone, Stephenie sought her perfect residential park home with a stunning countryside view, in a place she could truly call home. Making the move independently, she emphasised the importance of a friendly community with people she could spend her time with and a gated site for security in her later years.
The Search Begins
“I started looking for a nice site with a lovely view.”
As Stephenie was starting her park home living journey on her own, she was looking for a residential park in which she felt safe and secure.
Avon Estates Residential Parks provide small, gated communities surrounded by stunning countryside views, promising a relaxed way of life to enjoy every moment of retirement whilst still having peace of mind within safe surroundings.
Stephenie picked her ideal park home at Marston Edge in Lower Quinton, which ticked many of her boxes. As well as being able to live with a like-minded community, she loved the site and its location near to Stratford-upon-Avon, however after some deliberation, she ultimately felt it didn’t have the precise countryside view that she was after.
Suzanne, Avon Estates Residential Park Manager, then told Stephenie about our sister park, Presthope Grange, and they were straight off to Shropshire for a visit.
Finding the Perfect Location
“Once we got there I knew it was the right place for me.”
Arriving at Presthope Grange, Stephenie ‘knew it was the right place’ for her. She found her perfect plot with a breathtaking view of the surrounding Shropshire countryside, instantly falling in love with the view and the park’s atmosphere. It was exactly what she wanted.
On her tour of all the homes and the park with Suzanne, Stephenie was pleased she could meet some of the residents, who were all so “nice and friendly”, affirming for Stephenie that Presthope Grange was the park for her.
She also loved that there were plenty of amenities within easy reach, including a health centre, chemist, farm shop, pub, restaurant, supermarket and a garden centre, ensuring complete convenience.
The gated park, and pet friendly homes fostered a real sense of community and all that she was looking for to enjoy her later years. It offered Stephenie the safety and security she wanted and the ability to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
The Support of Avon Estates
“Avon Estates and Suzanne have been very kind and helpful in my journey.”
Suzanne was on hand to answer all Stephenie’s questions, providing information about the local services, amenities and all that residential park home lifestyle offers, alongside the process of moving home and what to expect on the journey.
A plot was chosen and the journey began – with floor plans decided to suit Stephenie’s needs, then a visit to Omar to finalise all the details, with Suzanne on hand at this meeting to assist and help her through the process.
Stephenie is over the moon and excited to embark on her new residential park home journey, eagerly anticipating her fresh community and life in the upcoming location. Alongside designing her bespoke home with Omar, she’s also filled with joy as she prepares to welcome two furry friends into her home, having decided to adopt two cats from the local RSPCA.
