Wine, cheese - and a chance to meet the neighbours at Pinewood Place, Windsor

For the last four decades, specialist retirement developer, Beechcroft, has been creating elegant, energy-efficient houses and apartments, featuring generously proportioned, light-filled living space – but there are many other benefits of buying Beechcroft.

Homeowners are able to enjoy their privacy and independence but, as part of a friendly community of like-minded people, have the possibility of a whole new social life on hand. Prospective homebuyers were certainly able to enjoy a ‘taste’ of this lifestyle when they joined new homeowners at Beechcroft’s Pinewood Place in Windsor at a ‘cheese and wine masterclass’ held in the one of the development's show homes.

The Pinewood Place masterclass was organised by Beechcroft following a similar, successful, event held at Castle Gardens. Both events were run by Martin of Watlington Fine Wines, a well-established, independent, family-run company founded in 1975. Having worked in the wine trade for over 50 years, business owner, Martin Chapman organises wine tastings as well as masterclasses, and he introduced Beechcroft’s guests to a range of sparkling, white and red wines and a variety of cheeses – and offered advice on the best cheese and wine parings.

“The masterclass proved very popular with those who have bought new homes at Pinewood Place as well as with those who plan to do so,” comments Angela South, Sales and Marketing Director.

“Events like this provide the perfect opportunity for neighbours to meet and socialise and help generate the sense of community that is so important for well-being. Like-minded neighbours on our developments get together for coffee mornings, dog walking, bowls, quiz evenings and other social activities – some even go on holiday together. One of our homeowners said that, after moving, he’d spoken to more people in just one week than he had in nine years in his previous home.”

Designed for the over 55s, Pinewood Place is an exclusive, gated retirement development of just 29 new homes set within beautifully landscaped gardens, just off Hatch Lane, within easy reach of Windsor’s town centre. Each new home comes with a terrace, balcony, private garden or a combination of these, along with allocated parking. Prices start from £565,000 for a two-bedroom apartment with a private balcony and a luxurious principal bedroom suite featuring an en-suite shower room and dressing area.
