At The Red House more residents are viewing village life as a proactive lifestyle choice rather than a later-life necessity.

The freedom to come and go as you please means residents can continue enjoying everything they love about the local area before returning home to a community of familiar faces.

Life at The Red House is equally about choice. There are opportunities to socialise and spend time with neighbours, but residents remain firmly in control of how they spend their day. Independence, privacy and community can sit comfortably side by side.

It is an approach that challenges some of the outdated assumptions around retirement living. Moving to a retirement village does not have to mean giving anything up.
