Mayfield Watford, a brand-new retirement village in the heart of Watford, has officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand buffet
Nick Sanderson, CEO of Audley Group, and Peter Taylor, the Mayor of Watford attended the recent opening ceremony of Mayfield Watford along with current and prospective property owners, friends and family members of the local community.
With 255 properties, Mayfield Watford, from Audley Group, is designed to address the increasing demand for modern, mainstream, mid-market retirement living options.
The village welcomed its first property owners in September and has a selection of apartments for sale with prices starting from £334,950.
The retirement community is centred around the Mayfield Club which includes a bar, café-bistro, swimming pool, village hall, fitness room and spa.
Mayfield owners automatically become members of the club, and the facilities are also available to those in the local community.
Mayfield Watford forms part of Watford Riverwell, a £400 million mixed-use regeneration partnership between Watford Borough Council and Kier Property that is reviving the area around Watford Hospital and delivering new homes, shops, community facilities and open spaces.
Watford Mayor, Peter Taylor, said: “The benefits of this type of living are already clear. As the village welcomes more owners, opens for events and provides care to those in the surrounding area, it will become a cornerstone of the local community. It’s these innovative solutions, centred around wellbeing, that we need to meet the challenges of our ageing population.”
Nick Sanderson, Audley CEO, added: “Enabling people to maintain their independence and actively improve their health and wellbeing, with the knowledge that care support is there, should be central to how we look after people as they get older. Through our Audley Village model, we have proven this is possible and we’re delighted to bring this to more people.
“We welcomed the first owners to Mayfield Watford in September and it’s been brilliant to see the community come to life since then. This will only grow in the coming weeks, and months, as the village becomes an integral part of the wider Watford Riverwell community.”
Mayfield Villages is the new brand from Audley Group. Mayfield Villages’ first development will form part of the Watford Riverwell regeneration project.
Mayfield owners benefit from access to the Mayfield Club with its wide range of facilities, as well as flexible care if needed.
