Downsizers are looking to Peveril Homes for new lease of life

A brand new home in a great location is a must for the generation of 'lock up and leaves' who spend the majority of their time abroad.

And that's certainly what retired down-sizers David and Joyce Houghton had in mind when they decided to sell their large family home in Walsall where they have lived for the past 30 years, in place of a secure, low maintenance home at Peveril's Eaton Park.

Whilst looking for a brand new home that would allow the couple more time to enjoy their holiday home in France, David, a retired Engineer and Joyce, a self employed book keeper, first came across Peveril Homes and Eaton Park thanks to a friend living in Rugeley who had saved the local newspaper in which Peveril Homes advertise.

"Eaton Park certainly fits the bill," says David Houghton. "Now our family has flown the nest we prefer to make the most of our retirement by splitting our time between here and France and so were in need of a UK base that not only offered quality living space but also has good travel links."
"We opted for a three-bedroom townhouse over an apartment as it offers a great deal more flexible living space, which was important to us both. In terms of location, the fact that we are able to walk into Rugeley town centre is also very appealing."

Marion Beebee, sales consultant for Peveril Homes at Eaton Park says: "Generally we're seeing lots of people moving to new builds in the suburbs when looking for easy maintenance and a secure sanctuary with good local amenities.

"Whilst the downsizer stereotype traditionally involves an apartment, we are finding that most people are now attuned to townhouse living as well, and the trend has shifted slightly to include this housetype because of the flexibility it offers."

Peveril Homes is currently offering a number of incentives for buyers at Eaton Park in Rugeley, including cashback, free flooring and part exchange - all designed to help make the move easier.
