Charters Towers

Have you discovered Charters yet ?

One of the county ’ s best-kept secrets is undoubtedly the hidden gem known as Charters Village .
This private retirement village on the northern fringes of East Grinstead , bordering Surrey and West Sussex , breaks all the traditional perceptions of how life should be in our ageing years .
Those who have chosen to buy a new home at Charters Village have at the same time gained a new lifestyle .
Everything about this stunning village has been designed to make life pleasurable and relaxing , allowing residents as much free time as they could possibly need to enjoy themselves .
The village has its own transport for days and evenings out . A team of domestic and maintenance staff take care of the grounds and the properties , and provide a laundry and cleaning service .
The management team act as an extended concierge service and with its acres of mature parkland , there really isn ’ t much left for residents to do other than sit back , relax and focus on the important things in life … playing golf across the road at Chartham Park , lunching with friends , heading off on holiday , taking up a new hobby … whatever takes their fancy .
The retirement village concept is gathering pace in the UK . Charters Village , with its own registered care home set within the grounds , is a fine example on our own doorstep of how to get this right .
Already an award-winning village , this private community for the over 65s is attracting huge interest . With brand new apartments ( starting from £ 350,000 *) benefiting from exclusive access to the outstanding facilities in the village ’ s private country club , Charters Towers , it is not difficult to understand why .
