WWW.HBDONLINE.CO.UK
This scheme is the developer, Audley Villages’, primary model , having completed 20 retirement villages in the UK to date. GRAHAM has recently completed Wycliffe Park, located in Horsleys Green, a hamlet in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Wycliffe Park was funded by Royal London Asset Management and assisted by Salmon Property and constructed by GRAHAM. It’s one of three Audley’s villages that the contractor has worked on. “We were initially delivering three projects for Audley in tandem,” says Pat O’Hare, GRAHAM’s South England regional director, explaining that the contractor has already finished Audley Wycliffe Park and Audley Fairmile in Cobham, with Audley Scarcroft Park in West Yorkshire nearing completion. Audley are heavily involved throughout the process, from design through to completion, and are the operator of these retirement villages. The project was handed over to the client in phases, with the final handover completed in November 2023.
THE DEVELOPMENT Wycliffe Park consists of 156 properties spread across five blocks on a 25 acre site. The apartments are a mixture of one and two bedrooms, and finished to a high standard. Owners have the option to upgrade certain fixtures and finishes, although a high quality German kitchen and quartz worktop, plus top of the range appliances, and high end sanitaryware are all included as standard. Non-slip porcelain floor tiles are specified in the kitchens, bathrooms and ensuites, and ceramic wall tiles in kitchens and bathrooms. Rooms within the apartments are spacious and corridors wide to ensure full accessibility.
High end apartment finishes aside, O’Hare asserts that Audley’s “number one priority” is residents’ wellbeing. At the centre of Wycliffe Park is the clubhouse, housing a number of facilities. “That’s generally the hub of the village,” says O’Hare.
The clubhouse includes an array of amenities – a health and wellbeing centre, home to a pool, sauna, steam
