A 50th birthday quite naturally gets people thinking about how they’re going to spend the next phase of their life. Whether they’re still working, have taken early retirement or are planning and looking forward to life after a career, it’s a time for new plans and dreams.
After years of work and family life, many people want their years beyond 50 to have more ‘me time’ and to indulge in their favourite pastimes, take up new hobbies and spend more time with their loved ones. Many will also be weighing up their savings and living costs and looking to make their hard-earned pounds go as far as possible.
A park home can answer all these needs. A new permanent residence in one of Allens Caravans’ industry-leading parks offers a host of benefits for those aged 50 and over and can be a wonderful way to make those golden years extra special.
1) A relaxed way of life, away from the monotonous cycle of commutes and schedules or the stress and rush of city life.
2) You’ll be surrounded by like-minded people who are there to enjoy the luxury lifestyle and the local area – just as you’ve chosen to do.
3) You can be sure that our neighbours will be after the same things as you, with our dedicated over-50 caravan parks with a calmer pace of life.
4) Living in one of our residential parks can be more affordable – purchase price, fees and utility costs tend to be much lower than a conventional house.
5) Allens makes it easy to downsize from your current property, leaving you with extra funds to enjoy your retirement however you wish.
6) All our residential parks are in beautiful and tranquil parts of the English landscape, on carefully laid-out and well-maintained grounds.
7) There are opportunities for walking, fishing, exercise and exploring right on your doorstep.
8) Despite these quiet and attractive locations, our residential parks are also within easy reach of necessary amenities. Wootton Hall adjoins the charming village of Wootton Wawen with its own shop and post office.
9) Our parks are also sited within easy reach of other attractions in the local area – perfect for days out with visiting family and friends.
10) Our residential homes include double glazing, carpets, fully functional kitchens and bathrooms, a parking space and your own garden. They truly are modern homes in miniature. And you can go beyond this with optional upgrade features.
11) There is a full-time manager on-site as well as other staff all year-round. Attentive staff and comprehensive security provide peace of mind.
12) The sense of community and staff service at an Allens residential park is combined with your personal freedom. You can still go where you want, when you want and live in your own space.
13) Community facilities can be right on your doorstep, such as Overstone Solarium’s heated outdoor swimming pool or the bowling green at Wootton Hall.
14) We know you would never move anywhere without your pet, so we won’t ask you to! All our park homes and residential parks welcome pets.
1) Owning a holiday caravan in one of our parks gives you a home away from home that you can return to whenever you fancy.
2) A holiday park home is much more cost-effective than repeatedly paying for a short-term rental in your favourite getaway area.
3) Allens Caravans’ holiday parks are in some of the finest locations in the UK, from the glorious Worcestershire countryside at Bredon View to the dramatic Welsh coast at Aber Bay.
4) A holiday caravan is the perfect place to spend quality time with your family – you can make years of memories in and around our parks.
5) At an Allens Caravans holiday park there is something for everyone across the generations, from fine dining and chat in the clubhouse to football and games to the finest live entertainment.
6) All our parks also offer quiet and tranquil stays – a holiday caravan is the ideal break from the routine of home life or the stresses of work.
7) With friendly and attentive staff who are always on-site, you can be sure that your holiday home will be safe and secure when you’re not there.
8) A holiday home is the perfect base for an active outdoor lifestyle – proven to help physical and mental health in the over-50s.
9) All our holiday parks offer huge potential for days out, from bracing walks in the countryside to relaxed mooching around market towns or stimulating tourist attractions – and then you can return to your own space to wind down.
10) You can indulge yourself without leaving the park if you want, from walks in the grounds to quiet days at private fishing spots in our riverside or lakeside parks. Bredon View even boasts its own golf course!
11) You’ll get to know your park neighbours as you visit. A whole new social circle is ready and waiting for you!
12) We know the British weather doesn’t always match your holiday plans, but there’s plenty to do indoors either in your caravan or in the on-site facilities.
13) We’re pet friendly– you can bring your four-legged friends on holiday with you at all our parks.
And there you have it: the 27 benefits residential park living can offer over-50s. We’re sure there are more that will apply to specific circumstances and situations. But we’re also confident that, if you’re looking at moving into one of our parks as a resident or purchasing a holiday home, you’ll be convinced that Allens Caravans has so much to offer those over 50.
