A recent poll by Financial Services company SunLife, asked 3000 over 50’s to name the top three things on their bucket list. The number 1 thing that people listed, was buying a new property, and this was closely followed by the goal of going on an extravagant holiday, and the third top thing was learning a new skill. Ideally situated in the North London suburb of Hadley Wood, Shanly Homes’ Highstone House at Manor Wood Gate offers prospective downsizers, and individuals within this age bracket, a distinct taste of luxury, without relinquishing their sense of independence.
