Taking in views over Salisbury Cathedral in a stunning new purpose-built community

Long-standing Salisbury resident, Margaret Moore, purchased a Chapters apartment to enable her to downsize from a three-bedroom family home, to a place which is easier to maintain and comes with the bonus of neighbours her own age who she can socialise with at Chapters’ various onsite activities. As an added bonus, she now enjoys a view of the city’s most famous landmark, Salisbury Cathedral.

Downsizing to a Platinum Skies apartment

Margaret said: “I only moved from 1.5 miles down the road, downsizing from the family home I had been living in for the past 62 years. Naturally, it took a couple of months to get used to my smaller apartment, however I am very settled now, and I couldn’t be happier.

“Having lived in Salisbury for so long, I was already well aware of the fantastic amenities in the city – Chapters’ proximity to the centre means that I can easily enjoy them, as they’re just a short bus ride away.

“The view of Salisbury Cathedral was the cherry on top when I was buying at Chapters. I have traded my view of a main road to a view of Salisbury Cathedral.

“Having spent my life in Salisbury, the cathedral is naturally something I’m very proud of. To be able to see it from my balcony is truly special. I love the grandeur of the architecture, and the extraordinary spire which can be seen throughout Salisbury. To be able to say that I have my own view of the cathedral, right from my home, is better than I could have imagined.”

Moving to Chapters in Salisbury

Margaret said that the thoughtfully-designed facilities at Chapters make her life easier and having light, bright windows let the sun come into her apartment to lift her mood. She says that it was also important to make the move to a property which is the right size for her so that she can enjoy it now and into the future, while making new memories with her fellow homeowners.

“My previous house was dated, and my large garden was difficult to maintain, whereas this apartment is wonderfully modern, and just the right size for me. I love the floor-to-ceiling windows, which bring in huge amounts of natural light – I barely have to turn the heating on, as it’s such a sun-trap. Plus, it was hugely beneficial moving to somewhere brand new, and so it was guaranteed to be low maintenance.

“Downsizing has signalled a new chapter in my life, with the chance to build new memories, make new friends, and try out new activities and events. I make use of all the social activities here – it’s a fantastic way to get to know my neighbours and get out of the apartment every day. There’s always so much going on in Chapters, from keep fit sessions, to knit and natter, and cheese and wine masterclasses.”
