NEW HOMES ON THE CLIVEDEN ESTATE

Properties are currently being developed on the Cliveden Estate in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, that aim to provide homes to the now hot property market known as the NONY generation- that is, 'Not Old Not Young'. The National Trust is working alongside Countryside Properties to create an environmentally sustainable development with high quality design aimed at those of retirement age. Cliveden Village consists of 135 homes that are being constructed on the Cliveden Estate aimed exclusively at the over 55 age group. Cliveden is a 376 acre country estate overlooking the River Thames and you now have the opportunity to become part of this Estate and in turn, help secure its future.

Cliveden Village is to be located the unused grounds of the Canadian Red Cross Memorial Hospital. The project shall consist of two bedroom apartments and two to three bedroom houses. Each property will be designed to the highest specifications and future-proofed with lasting fittings. The latest technology will suit the more high-tech and the Village will be equipped with broadband. Open plan living spaces along with high ceilings with offer a modern yet accessible style. Of course, the many acres of Cliveden Estate will provide you with all the open space you should need! This contemporary design will make use of natural materials as integration into the surrounding landscape is paramount.

The project is concerned with the issue of sustainability, therefore profits made from the housing will be spent by the National Trust on conserving, protecting and improving the Cliveden Estate. Once funds are secured, a thirty year conservation project can then begin which will restore the impressive architecture, gardens, riverside walks and woodlands of the whole Cliveden Estate. Cliveden House is situated in the Estate, a beautiful building with over 300 years of history to its name. Built in 1851 by Charles Barry, the House has its own formal gardens and woodland. Many British monarchs have stayed there and the stately home became the hub of society in the early 20th century, being home to Waldorf and Nancy Astor.
