Amazing lifestyle View the first class facilities continued from front page “WE’VE had a very big year here at Kensington Gardens. Our staff numbers have grown with the addition of an additional gardener and administration assistant. We have also added a Marketing Coordinator, Ros Sinclair, which is very positive for the entire Kensington Gardens community. Increased staff numbers is a direct indicator of the community’s continuing growth, which is very pleasing.

“We’ve now got 73 homes occupied in Stages 1 and 2 and a further seven under construction and three new homes to start in the coming weeks. When we opened up Stage 2 to sales we had 70 lots available, today we have 46 lots remaining, which is also very positive.

“We encourage members of the community to compare what we offer, we pride ourselves on the quality of our bricks and mortar homes, on the value of return for resale and on the premier lifestyle opportunities which we offer, we don’t think you’ll find better anywhere else.

“Most importantly we care about the members of our community and nothing is too much trouble to ensure that they enjoy an amazing lifestyle. In terms of resident perception, most wish they had moved in sooner.”

A word from the Manager AS Manager, I am personally proud to be a part of this amazing lifestyle estate. I’ve watched it grow and develop, I’ve met with our residents at the beginning of their Kensington Gardens journey and gotten to know them along the way, it really is a wonderful community to be a part of.

I encourage anyone over 50 who is considering their lifestyle options or perhaps downsizing to come along, to take the time to visit Kensington Gardens to see for yourself what we can offer in the way of an easy lifestyle as you enjoy your retirement.

The facilities are first class and with established landscaping, gardens and paths you can really appreciate the estates appeal as you wander throughout our Club House and private residential streets.

Our Open Day is an excellent opportunity to talk to our residents; they will be on hand to tell you about their own personal experiences and what living at Kensington Gardens can offer. Enjoying the social life and the chance to meet new friends is only the start…

I look forward to seeing you on the weekend.
