Set in the heart of the leafy village of Willaston on the Wirral Peninsula, this Retirement Living development offers the opportunity for rural living while only 8 miles from Liverpool and 10 miles from Chester. With just 30 apartments, consisting of 20, one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom, Symonds Grange mirrors the community spirit of the village in which it is situated.
Low maintenance and sociable
Symonds Grange Retirement Living development is designed to encourage the community feeling to flourish, while also allowing you to enjoy the complete privacy of your own spacious retirement apartment. You’ll enjoy stylish well-maintained communal spaces, including the well-appointed lounge with free Wi-Fi, and a lush landscaped garden - ideal for meeting your friends, neighbours and family for a drink and a chat. We've found the communal facilities have become social hubs – a hive of informal gatherings and regular clubs, events and meet-ups to suit all sorts of interests. You’ll find things like film nights, pie and mash lunches, knitting clubs, cocktail evenings, music, yoga, birthday parties and even the odd fiesta.
Energy-efficient, safe and secure
All our new retirement homes are designed with intelligent ergonomics and energy-efficiency built in to ensure they are a joy to live in - and save you money on energy bills too. As well as being well-insulated, light and warm, they have the latest safety and security features. You’ll benefit from a 24-hour emergency call system, fire detection and door camera entry, so you can see who it is before answering the door.
Fantastic location
Stroll out the front door and you'll find yourself in the quaint village with independent shops and village green. What's more, there's excellent transport links.

Occupancy options
The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 999 years from and including 01/06/2023
It’s an affordable approach to owning a stunning new retirement home:
- You may be able to access cash tied up in your existing property (known as ‘equity release’)
- You can choose to buy a bigger percentage of the property in the future – this reduces the rent you pay
- If you want, we can buy your existing property as a part exchange
- You’ll be eligible for our free Smooth Move removal service, plus a contribution to legal and estate agent fees
The rent is set at the point of purchase. Annual rent review on the date specified in your lease will be indexed to movements in the Retail Price Index (RPI) subject to a minimum 0.5%. RPI has been in the range c.1-4% since 2013 and was 3.3% in March 2018. 3.3% is equivalent to an extra £1.98 per week for typical rent of £60 per week.
