Orchard Yard: The Ideal "Lock Up and Leave" Solution for Retirement Living in Kent

For those who split their time between the UK and abroad, finding a suitable living arrangement can be a challenge. Many retirees want to maintain a base in the UK, but also require the flexibility to travel and spend extended periods overseas. This is where Orchard Yard, located in the rolling Kent countryside, comes in as the ideal "Lock Up and Leave" solution.

Orchard Yard offers independent living for those aged 55 and above, with spacious two and three bedroom properties available. But what makes it particularly attractive for those who travel frequently is the estate manager service. This means that all gardening and maintenance is taken care of, ensuring that residents can travel with peace of mind knowing their property is secure and well-maintained.

Owners can leave their property for months on end, safe in the knowledge that an estate manager is making regular checks, picking up their mail, and maintaining their garden. The estate manager can also take care of practical tasks such as turning on the heating and ensuring there is food in the fridge for their return. This level of support is particularly valuable for those living abroad, who may not have family or friends nearby to help out.

The proximity of Orchard Yard to the Channel Tunnel also makes it easy for owners to return to the UK from the continent. This means that retirees can take advantage of their free time to travel, whether it be for leisure or to visit family and friends.

Aside from the lock up and leave benefits, Orchard Yard is a beautiful development that offers a sense of community and tranquillity. The properties themselves are spacious and well-appointed, with high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The open-plan living areas are perfect for entertaining guests, and the development has been designed with accessibility in mind, with lifts available in each block and level access throughout.

Orchard Yard offers a perfect combination of independent living, community spirit, and lock up and leave benefits. Its beautiful location, well-appointed properties, and estate manager service make it an ideal choice for those looking to simplify their lives in retirement, while also maintaining the flexibility to travel and enjoy their free time.
