Graham and Jill Richards move to Pinewood Place, Windsor for a more relaxed lifestyle

The Richards’ decision to move was prompted by the fact that the upkeep of their large house and garden was becoming too much for them to cope with, as Mr Richards explains:

“Even though we employed contractors to maintain the hedges and the trees, we knew that we wouldn’t be able to carry on maintaining the exterior, the interiors and the gardens surrounding our home for much longer. The idea of having someone handle all the principal outdoor work – particularly the gardening – was part of the appeal of the Beechcroft development.”

“We chose Windsor because we’d visited the town a few times and often went for walks in Windsor Great Park, so we’d knew we’d be happy in the area.  Our new home at Pinewood Place is also slightly closer to our sons and their families.”

“When we viewed Pinewood Place, we soon realised that it ‘ticked all the boxes’ for us. We were extremely pleased to discover that, although we were quite prepared to move into an apartment, we were able to buy a three-bedroom house at Pinewood Place.”

“We have always enjoyed travel but, as our former home was quite rural, we had to ensure the house and the boundaries were secure when we went away.  Now, having an Estate Manager on hand is very reassuring, providing us with peace of mind when we go away.”

“Now we’ve made the move to Windsor, we hope to join some local clubs and organisations such as the U3A and Probus. Jill likes to play bridge and I like to swim a couple of  times a week and we both enjoy walking.  Although we no longer take long or hilly walks, we walk up to five miles several times a week – often in Windsor Great Park or around Sunningdale and Ripley.  We intend to familiarise ourselves with the area and find some additional, suitable walks around here, just as we have done in the previous areas in which we’ve lived.”
