A brand new select development at Magnolia Grange, Worle, designed exclusively for people aged 60 and over, is now available for rent on Assured Tenancies.
Rentals for the 22 private one and two bedroom apartments start from £695 per calendar month for a one bedroom apartment and £875 per calendar month for two bedrooms, fully inclusive of ground rent and service charge.
As well as spacious accommodation, including a high quality, fully-fitted kitchen, the development also offers a wide range of other facilities including an elegant residents’ lounge, parking, private landscaped gardens, video door entry, 24 hour Careline and the services of a House manager.
A lift provides access to all floors and there is a well appointed guest suite with en-suite bathroom for visitors’ use.
“Magnolia Grange is designed for people who want security and comfort, and to know that they really don’t have to worry about issues such as maintenance,” says Peter Girling. “Renting on an Assured Tenancy gives you security of tenure for life, allowing you to release the capital you have tied up in your property without any risk.”
The monthly rental is also designed to be as “all-inclusive” as possible, so that tenants know exactly what their monthly outgoings are going to be. This means that buildings insurance, external maintenance and heating of the common areas are included. So too is the maintenance of the external areas, including the grounds and window cleaning, and the cost of the manager.
“Our philosophy is ‘why continue to own your own property when you can have complete peace of mind in an assured tenancy’,” says Peter Girling, “and ever growing numbers of older people agree.”

Paula's Wines of the Week starting 6 February 2012

If you really like a certain wine, rather than buying it in single cork-stoppered bottles why not get larger four bottle-sized amounts available in boxes? But if stepping along to the supermarket seems like too much of a chilly effort then try the online winebox retailer InspiredWine.co.uk because they’re offering free delivery during February.
There are advantages to buying wine in a winebox. As the wine is dispensed through a plastic tap all the annoyance of the cork is removed: no more tainted 'corked' wine (this spoils at least one in ten traditionally bottled wines due to improperly sterilised corks) and no more chasing around bits of broken cork that always sink when the index finger sent in to oik them out gets anywhere near them.
