Spring Planting at Castle Gardens, Watlington

Beechcroft contributed the plants, which were purchased from a local garden centre and Linda demonstrated how to create the perfect planter, explaining the reasons for selecting certain plants and offering advice on maintaining them.

Following the demonstration, homeowners were able to enjoy refreshments and chat to their new neighbours in the development’s pavilion.

“The new home owners at Castle Gardens are now moving in and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring them together,” says Angela South, Beechcroft’s Sales and Marketing Director. “They are all keen gardeners and thoroughly enjoyed the event. Everyone created their own planters and the results were exceptionally attractive.”

Castle Gardens is an exclusive retirement development of 41 elegant new houses and apartments in a beautifully landscaped setting just off Shirburn Road, less than half a mile from Watlington High Street.

Designed exclusively for the over 55s, this retirement community features a comfortable residents’ pavilion for community activities, electric car charging points and an on-site estate manager employed to maintain the communal areas and the landscaped setting, as well as being on hand to offer help and advice to residents and to keep an eye on properties whilst owners are away.

The new homes, including two and three-bedroom houses and one and two-bedroom apartments, are light and airy, energy-efficient and easily maintained and excellent examples of Beechcroft’s commitment to creating properties with an abundance of living space and high-quality fixtures and fittings. Indeed, this development is built to Beechcroft’s rigorous Healthihouse™ standards, designed to promote a healthy home environment.

Prices start from £350,000 for a one-bedroom apartment with a terrace and private garden and from £610,000 for a two-bedroom house with sunroom, balcony and private terrace.
