Pegasus Court & Manor, Freemans Gardens
One of Olney’s best kept secrets is the delightful development of Retirement Cottages and Apartments in Freemans Gardens, just off the end of the Market Place; tucked away in the very centre of the Town with excellent level access to all the Towns amenities – shops, market, hairdressers, buses, tearooms and restaurants, with the
Olney & Cowper Museum just round the corner, and lots of clubs and organisations within arms reach.
Pleasantly situated bordering the Towns community gardens, adjacent to the Museum garden with its own secluded gardens
and spacious car park, this development which was built in 1991 remains quietly accessible for those of older years looking to downsize and release capital and to simplify their lives.
It offers security, convenience, community, minimal input and peace of mind – all services, gardening, window cleaning, external maintenance, snow clearing, rubbish collection and communal area cleaning is taken care of for you.
The Communal areas within the Manor House, the spacious Lounge with library area, Dining Room, Conservatory, Kitchen, Laundry Room, Guest Suite and
the on site Manager – John – who keeps a watchful and Patrician eye on all his residents are all included in the Service contract package. This is supported by a 24 hour careline contract.
There is a Residents committee who organise weekly and annual events, so that there is always something going on, suppers, quizzes, discussions, sherry parties, something for everyone. Coffee is served in the lounge every morning, so even when the weather is unforgiving you can come and socialise without getting wet, especially if you have an apartment in the Manor House. So if you are looking for a change
or move to a smaller less stressful and community orientated home, where you can retain you independence, safe in the knowledge that there is someone to help should you need them, then take a look at Freemans Gardens.
Unfortunately due to a couple of sad losses, and the unforeseen move of one or two other residents to nursing homes, there are a number of properties on the market.
Cottages and Apartments. Local Agents are handling these, as are Retirement Homesearch, the Management Sites own website. It’s worth a look!!.
