Ken Young, a 67 year old retiree from Glasgow, has bought a strikingly modern and environmentally friendly apartment at Cliveden Village, Countryside Properties’ award winning development in Taplow, Buckinghamshire.
“Ken comments: “Having lived in older properties for most of my life, I did not expect to see myself in such a modern apartment. When I retired I decided to move out of my big house to be nearer to my children and grand-children, and I also wanted to downsize so I could travel more. I viewed new and old properties in a number of different areas, but it was Cliveden which stood out and really impressed me.”
“The fact that it is set in green and mature countryside makes the development feel rather remote, but it is actually very well placed for visits to my family in Sussex, and travelling to Heathrow.”
“In my opinion, these properties echo Scandinavian design and technology. They have very clean lines, there is a lot of space and you really feel like the glass and the balconies bring the outside in. I have also enjoyed learning about the eco-features in the property because they are very practical as well as being good for the environment. I have hardly had to turn my heating on and when I do, the insulation keeps the house so warm it only has to be on for a short time!”
