After years of living around 50 miles away, David and Jan made the decision to move closer to their only daughter, Mandy, and son-in-law, Stephen, at Chetham Farm Retreat in Bolton. The move not only brought them closer to their adult grandchildren, but also allowed them to become more involved in family life and the thriving wellbeing retreat. Their bespoke two-bedroom annexe provides the perfect blend of independence and togetherness, giving them a beautiful home of their own just a few steps from the people they love most.

“Mum and Dad love their annexe, and we love having them close by should they need us for anything.”

A natural fit for the space
Nestled within the stunning grounds of Chetham Farm Retreat, David and Jan’s annexe blends effortlessly into its rural setting. The home features a traditional pitched roof, striking double gable and large bi-fold doors that open onto grey composite decking, creating the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The untreated natural oak cladding mirrors the exterior of the main farmhouse, while anthracite grey windows and doors add a contemporary touch. The result is a home that feels completely at one with its environment, combining timeless character with modern style.
Bright, spacious and beautifully finished
Step inside and the annexe is flooded with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The open-plan living area centres around a stunning sage green kitchen, complete with a practical breakfast bar that’s perfect for morning coffee or catching up with family. Two generously sized bedrooms provide ample space for both everyday living and visiting guests, while the spacious layout ensures the home feels airy and comfortable. In the bathroom, a luxurious rain shower and elegant cappuccino stone tile boarding add a touch of hotel-style comfort to everyday life.
The best of both worlds
Living at Chetham Farm Retreat has given David and Jan the opportunity to enjoy a closer relationship with their family without sacrificing their independence. With Mandy and Stephen just moments away, support is always on hand if needed, while David and Jan remain firmly in control of their own home and lifestyle. Being nearby also allows them to play an active role in the family-run wellbeing retreat and spend more quality time with their grandchildren. It’s an arrangement that offers the best of both worlds: a private, peaceful home of their own and the joy of having family right on the doorstep.
