WHILE the television series The Real Marigold Hotel took older celebrities around the world to experience what retired life is like in other countries, what could luxury later life look like a little closer to home?

For this week's property of the week, we're taking a peek inside one higher end retirement option - a £650,000 luxury later living apartment in the heart of Wilmslow.

Knutsford Guardian: The apartments and facilities at Chapel Wood offer a sense of luxury

Chapelwood’s elegant design is inspired by the country manor houses that dot the surrounding landscape, with Glenn Howells Architects’ four-storey redbrick building standing in harmony with the gardens’ mature poplars, planes, yew and chestnut trees.

Chapelwood is a stunning collection of one, two and three-bedroom homes, complemented by first-class facilities that support your health and wellbeing, including a spa, gym, restaurant and owners' lounge for socialising with friends, family and neighbours.

We take a look inside apartment 18, an impressive 1238 sq. ft three-bedroom apartment available at Pegasus Chapelwood, a collection of luxury later living apartments located in the heart of Wilmslow.

The three- bedroom apartment has been thoughtfully designed to complement the development and create a light and energising environment which includes ceiling height windows which allow the natural light to fill the room with additional stunning views over the landscaped grounds.

A fully integrated kitchen and large worktops ensure that meal preparation is made easy, while the open-plan living areas are designed to take advantage of the generous amount of light.

The three light and airy bedrooms in the apartment are tranquil havens, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.

The master bedroom is served with a walk- in wardrobe and a spacious ensuite with a large walk-in shower and the second and third bedrooms have a shared large family bathroom with a bathtub.

Glenn Howells Architects has drawn inspiration from the country manor houses that dot the surrounding landscape to create the four-storey redbrick building which stands in harmony with the gardens’ mature poplars, planes, yew and chestnut trees.

Beyond the apartment, a series of stylish and welcoming shared areas offer the sort of high-end experience which has taken its inspiration from the luxury hotel industry.

The elegant owners lounge is the perfect place to relax with friends and family whilst enjoying the stunning Wilmslow skyline in the patio.
