Whether you’re interested in Riverstone Bishops Avenue, would like to learn more about life at Riverstone in general, or simply have a question, we’d love to hear from you.
Riverstone Bishops Avenue will offer one, two and three bedroom retirement apartments and penthouses, designed exclusively for over 65s on the fringes of Hampstead Heath. Residents get five-star amenities, a members’ club cultural programme and wellbeing support, all within apartments they own outright.
Riverstone Bishops Avenue is not a care home. It’s not what you’d typically think of as a retirement village either. Residents live independently in their own apartment, with wellbeing and care support available if and when they need it. Riverstone’s approach is designed so residents are less likely to need a move into a care home than if they had stayed in their previous house.
Yes. Apartments are sold on a 150-year lease, or the remaining term for resales. The apartment is the resident’s home and their asset.
Apartments at Riverstone Bishops Avenue start from £1,575,000. Riverstone Bishops Avenue’s fee structure includes a Membership Fee and a Deferred Fee, payable when the apartment is sold. The “Value in Choice” structure lets residents choose the balance between four options that suit their circumstances.
Full details are available in the “All You Need To Know” brochure.
Riverstone Bishops Avenue is best described as a luxury retirement residence rather than a retirement community. Residents own their apartment outright and choose their own level of involvement in activities and experiences designed by The Riverstone Club, the residents’ members club.
