Summer is a great time to start a new hobby. With the longer days and lighter evenings, you have more time to enjoy the things you want to. Many people take up new hobbies in retirement, whether it’s to keep active in your mind or body, a community with a buzzing social life might just be what you’re looking for.
All of our communities have a clubhouse with yoga, art classes, bridge, book clubs, and much more going on. If an active social life is for you perhaps consider one of these properties:
Located in the new and growing community of Debden Grange, Newport, Essex, 3 Fallow Drive is a two-bedroom cottage with a private terrace. It’s spacious so you could use the second bedroom as a hobby room. Debden Grange has several clubs to join including bridge, book club, and a regular coffee morning to keep you busy.
2 Chase House at Gradwell Park, South Chailey, East Sussex is located in the heart of the village and very close to the communal facilities, making it ideal for those that like a busy social life.
