How much do you know about real-life retirement villages?

If you have read the book or watched the film, you'll know that retirement villages aren't all tea and slippers. There are a few more similarities between an Audley village and Cooper's Chase too - the beautiful landscaped grounds being one, and visiting llamas another.

Come and experience a real luxury retirement village like Cooper's Hill or one of our other 20 luxury retirement villages around the country. It's truly eye-opening to experience one of our luxury villages, complete with health and wellness suite, restaurant, library, and modern spacious apartments and cottages.

News, views and inspiration from Audley Villages

What is a retirement village?

An Audley retirement village is a purpose-built beautiful and secure collection of houses, cottages and apartments, which are available to buy if you are over 55. At the heart of an Audley retirement village there is a centrepiece building, which houses the facilities of the Audley Club, of which you are automatically a member. The building may be a restored Tudor hall, a rebuilt Georgian manor or a refurbished Victorian villa with facilities including a restaurant, bar bistro, lounge, a health and wellbeing centre, treatment rooms and a swimming pool. You can even bring your pet.

More about how retirement villages work or find out UK retirement statistics for 2024.

What are the retirement living options?

From integrated retirement communities and sheltered housing to assisted living and nursing homes, there’s a whole range of choices depending on particular needs and budgets. To find out more please visit our retirement living options page.

Do you offer retirement properties to rent?

A rental option is only available on selected properties at Audley Cooper's Hill and Audley Nightingale Place. You are also able to choose whether to rent or to purchase at both villages.

The properties listed here are the only properties available for rent at this time. At all other Audley villages, you own your home and are free to sell at any time on the open market.

If you wish to buy an Audley property but need a little longer to sell your existing home, the village may be able to offer a short term rent to buy option to enable you to move in sooner. This is subject to the lease term, property chosen and eligibility criteria.
