PROPERTY Retirement living
Multi-generational facilities place the elderly at the heart of the community
NEW LEASE OF LIFE
Legal & General has submitted plans for a new Guild Living urban retirement development at Bath’s former Homebase site. The proposed 317 apartment complex is designed to keep older people at the centre of the community, this mixed-use development blending homes with tailored care options and multi-generational facilities, including a nursery, fitness centre, community café, cinema, library, crafts space, shops and multi-faith room. Guild Living’s development also has the potential to free up family housing, which would contribute towards B&NES’ five-year housing supply aims while improving quality of life for the elderly in the area.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Curo’s keeping busy in Keynsham, where work has started on another 56 homes at Woodland View, within the Hygge Park development. This collection of two, three and four-bedroom homes would make for a perfect commuter base, with their proximity to Bath and Bristol. Email sales@curo-group.co.uk for more details.

Curo has already started taking early bird plot reservations for the new houses
SUZANNE HARDWICK Stylish, pure wool Nest & Burrow wall hangings add a cosy touch to any room Suzanne says: “I simply love working with unspun yarns, including pure wool and flax, like in this piece. The untamed nature of these fibres enables me to work in a very organic, almost sculptural way, producing beautifully textured pieces that create wonderful focal points to cosy up your interiors. I work predominantly with non-dyed fibres from a variety of breeds of sheep, such as Merino, Corriedale, Manx Loaghtan, Herdwick and Icelandic. It’s amazing the mix of hues available through natural fleeces.” Suzanne works from her home just outside of Bath in the Cotswolds AONB, and brands herself Nest & Burrow; she sells worldwide, her private commissions adorning homes as far away as New Zealand, Australia and the USA. She also delivers a range of creative experiences, from beginners’ workshops to oneto-one master classes and luxury retreats.
