If this past year has got you thinking, you could really do with a little more space then a move to somewhere more rural could be for you. There are plenty of benefits to moving to somewhere a little more rural and can help take care of your mental health, physical health and your entire outlook on life. With shared ownership moving to the countryside can be a lot easier and more affordable allowing you to part-buy and part-rent your home while managing a small mortgage and even smaller deposit. So what are the best bits about moving to a more countryside setting and how could it change your lifestyle?
A slower pace to life
Whether you’re looking at shared ownership Tunbridge Wells or North Yorkshire, one of the main benefits to moving somewhere a little further from the city is the slower pace of life. Taking life in your own stride reduces stress, improves sleeping patterns and keeps away feelings of anxiousness and getting overwhelmed. Plenty of research has shown that taking life at a slower pace can improve the longevity of your life and the overall quality. While that job may seem enticing with its decent salary and sky high desk view in London, taking life a little slower will help keep you healthier and allows you to enjoy your time more, especially the time that really matters.
Less Pollution
This may seem like an obvious one but there really is a difference between buying a home in a busy city and moving into a house with shared ownership in Cheshire. Fresh air really makes a big difference to your health so a big home at the foot of the Pennines will do you a whole lot of good compared to that of a home in a busy town centre. Cheshire is also great for its easy links to Manchester should you need to venture out for a spot of retail therapy and a fancy brunch but you can rest assured you get to retreat to a far greener home with plenty of space and way less pollution.
Improved Health and Wellness
One of the best parts about moving to the countryside is the vast array of walks you can enjoy from hilly hikes to riverside strolls. Walking is one of the best exercises you can do both for your physical fitness and your mental health and with some stunning views to enjoy along the way it’s better than an hour on the treadmill at the gym. Shared Ownership Kent is a great way to enjoy the benefits of those outdoor walks especially with the Kent Downs and the Surrey Hills to explore.
A Close and Safe Community
If you’ve ever spent time in a rural village you’ll know there’s a different sense of community that you simply don’t get with an apartment in London. Countryside towns, parishes and villages are ideal to bring up a family and you can always count on friendly neighbours and a warm community to welcome you and have you feeling at home. With shared ownership Medway offering close community village life, you can secure yourself a home in rural England at an affordable price and reap all the benefits it has to offer.
