Offering state-of-the-art facilities in elegant surroundings, Auriens has built a community of like-minded over-65s enjoying the finer things in life
-
FOR more than a decade, the number of wealthy over-60s downsizing from a country house into town has continued to grow.
Advances in medicine and wellness are helping many of us live longer, with a greater quality of life than previous generations. No wonder then, that once the children have grown up to have a family of their own, selling the big house and moving into a chic apartment in town can seem like an appealing way to start a new chapter.
London remains a popular choice for downsizers. For those in search of exceptional design paired with an outstanding quality of life, Auriens Chelsea is the standout option. Comprising an elegant development of 56 beautiful apartments located just off the King’s Road, Auriens slots effortlessly into Chelsea’s pretty Georgian streets.
