Grove Park

If you are over 55 years old and wanting to own a retirement property without the burden of maintenance and repairs, Anchor-managed properties may be the answer. Anchor estates are all very different. They range from a small cul–de-sac of six bungalows to a large estate of 86 apartments. Most are set in pleasant landscaped settings.

At each estate there will be an estate manager who can act as the first point of contact for any queries that residents may have and offer help to access any local services.
