For many homeowners, as life goes on, managing a large property becomes less a labour of love and more a daily demand. Empty rooms and endless chores consume time better spent enjoying life.
But what if this next chapter wasn’t about downsizing, but elevating your lifestyle in a lively, sophisticated neighbourhood you already love?
High above the capital, Belle Vue by Pegasus Homes is just a short walk from the cultural delights of Belsize Park.
The local area is defined by winding streets, historic cobbled lanes and independent boutiques.
Nearby is Hampstead Heath, an 800-acre expanse of woodlands and swimming ponds, as well as the art collection at Kenwood House.
More than a place to live
The Belle Vue community provides a reimagined approach to later living, granting residents the freedom to live life on their own terms. Belle Vue has been designed to feel like an authentic extension of your own home, blending modern luxury with a welcoming atmosphere.
The community centres on a residents’ lounge, where neighbours can meet for a morning coffee, linger over the Sunday papers or gather for an impromptu glass of wine after an evening stroll on the Heath. Two relaxing outdoor roof spaces – a third-floor terrace and a sky lounge on the sixth floor – offer inspiring views of the city and of the green sweep of London below. In the wellness suite, residents can start the day with a gentle swim in the lap pool, a yoga session, or a visit to one of the treatment rooms for a massage or manicure.
There’s a gym, a sauna and a steam room, and the on-site restaurant, Brad and Dills, is on your doorstep for when you’d rather not cook.
Peace of mind, built in
Pegasus Homes charges no exit fees or deferred management fees, meaning when you eventually sell, the proceeds stay with you. Belle Vue also comes with 24/7 security, door entry and camera systems, lifts to all floors, and a friendly on-site team – the kind of thoughtful infrastructure that offers real peace of mind without ever feeling institutional. This is independent living, with the quiet reassurance of knowing support is always close by.
The guest suite means visits from family or friends are never an imposition. When they want to visit and spend time with you, you can book them into the guest accommodation and give them their own comfortable space, just a few steps from your door.
Don’t wait until you have to move
At Belle Vue, later life doesn’t look like a step down. It looks like the beginning of something you’ll wish you’d started sooner. This is a common reaction Pegasus hears from its residents – if only they had made that move earlier.
Cynthia and Richard, who moved to a Pegasus community while still fit and active, sum it up well: “A year ago, we could never have envisioned this kind of thing in our lives. And it has changed dramatically for the better. We’re just happy people.”
Their advice to anyone thinking about moving to Belle Vue? “If you’re thinking about it, don’t think about it too long.”
For Eddie, it was the warmth of the community that made the difference: “I never thought I could ever be happy again after my wife died. But having this friendship – and all the others – has made such a difference to my life. I’m actually happy again.”
For a limited time, Pegasus Homes is offering an incentive designed to make the move even more straightforward.
