Making the move to a community like Latheram
House is a huge decision and commitment,
something that our team at Pegasus Homes
understands cannot be taken lightly. That’s
why for someone like David Bailey, it can take
some time to be absolutely sure it’s the right
fit for them.
The Flexibility of Renting
David first moved to Latheram House in 2022,
and due to the flexibility of renting, was able
to do so on what was always originally intended
to be a short-term arrangement. However, after
moving out as planned in 2023, by August 2024
David realised he wanted to make that short-term
arrangement a more permanent one, missing
the location, community and friends he had
made at Latheram House.
“I’ve always been independent and active, which
Latheram House allows me to continue to be,
but I don’t want or need the upkeep of a big house
or cottage anymore.” David explains, “A one-
bedroom home is really all I want to manage, and
it’s great to have the immediacy of renting whilst
I sell my own property. It was really the ease
of renting that attracted me to Latheram House
in the first place, and also why I decided to return
to the community so soon after originally moving
out. I knew I wanted to make a move quickly
and knew the Pegasus Homes team would
be able to help me with that.”
The Appeal of Latheram House
and Cheltenham
It wasn’t just the ease and flexibility of renting a
home at Latheram House that drew David in both
the first and second time he’s lived here - it was
the location, too, which felt something like
a homecoming.
“I was drawn back to Cheltenham because
I know the town so well. I spent a lot of time
in Cheltenham as a youngster and it feels like
a full-circle moment when I go out on walks now
that I used to do as a teenager here for college.
The location so close to town is ideal, Cheltenham
has such a wide range of shops, entertainment
and restaurants, and I enjoy some of the local
