Communal Garden Benefits for all at Coach House Court
Thursday 2nd September 2010
Homebuyers who desire the perfect garden property without the need to be green-fingered will be intrigued to hear about the beautifully landscaped communal gardens for residents at Kebbell Homes’ Coach House Court development in Wetherby.
Gardening is one of Britain’s most popular past-times but whilst a reported 11 million people tend to their lawns, flowers and vegetable patches each weekend, others simply prefer to relax and enjoy gardens without the need to spend their time maintaining their appearance.
For homebuyers in Wetherby, there’s no better way to do this than in the communal gardens at Coach House Court, a development of 18 spacious apartments designed in the finest contemporary style on Deighton Road.
And for those who have never considered the advantages of a communal garden, Kebbell Homes has come up with a list of its top benefits:
- Attractive landscaping - Set within a quiet tranquil setting, the south-facing communal gardens at Coach House Court contain areas of beautiful landscaping and Kebbell has been able to retain many of the mature trees and hedges. These provide the perfect space for residents to enjoy the outdoor life and wind down after a hectic day. Indeed when a recent National Trust survey asked people why spending time in the garden was important to them, ‘unwinding’ was the most frequently mentioned response (68 per cent).
- No garden maintenance – At Coach House Court residents can enjoy all the benefits of a fully landscaped garden without the need to do any maintenance. This means no planting, no mowing, no weeding, no hard work and therefore no stress! This has proved particularly beneficial for residents who have downsized to the development to make life more manageable, as it means they can still enjoy the use of a large garden space but without worrying about its upkeep.
- Building a community spirit – The communal garden at Coach House Court provides an ideal way of bringing residents together and helps to unite the community in ways that other public spaces often do not. It allows neighbours to socialise in attracting surroundings and means they can talk face to face, rather than over a fence or wall!
- Health benefits – It is well known that gardening is a healthy activity but simply spending time in the garden at Coach House Court, without the work, can be equally as healthy for you. Further results from the National Trust survey claims that spending time in gardens is critical to our quality of life with many participants agreeing that it is more enjoyable pastime than shopping or watching TV. A garden can also offer the calming effect of nature, fresh air and vitamin D, which researchers have found can lower blood pressure, increase brain activity and produce a general upbeat feeling.
Linda Tillisch, Northern Sales Manager for Kebbell Homes, comments, “Coach House Court offers the perfect solution for homebuyers with spacious, highly specified apartments and stunning communal grounds in which to relax. We believe that having an attractive and maintained garden space is really important to our purchasers for a number of reasons, particularly as the modern lifestyle often means that people are too busy to spend time gardening.”
She added, “Our sponsorship of this year’s Wetherby in Bloom entry also shows that whilst the communal grounds at Coach House Court are important for our homebuyers, we also believe in supporting the local community in its efforts in making the surrounding areas look attractive and welcoming.”
