Miriam agrees, noting that: “The staff in reception
are a cut above what you would normally expect
and are excellent at what they do. They are very
lovely and accommodating, with no task too small
or big. Even if I have an IT issue with my computer,
they are always happy to help”.
Community living is at the heart of the Pegasus
communities, and both Miriam and Vivien have
embraced it with open arms. Vivien shared her
enthusiasm for the diverse activities at Belle
Vue, including film nights, ceramics classes,
and music sessions: “There are so many activities
on offer at Belle Vue that I often can’t make them
all, even if I want to”. Miriam added, "There is a
real sense of community; we all look out for one
another, which is lovely. What I love is that you
can close your door to your apartment and have
your own space, yet if you want to, there is always
someone around to talk to or a different activity to
try out”.
Miriam, who has a large family and active social
life in the community says: “I have friends who
live nearby that come to visit, and they have
been really impressed, they see the friendly faces,
beautiful communal spaces and grandchildren
enjoying themselves and could really picture
themselves living here”.
Pegasus understands the importance of
accommodating friends and family when they
come to visit, which is why there is a guest suite
Whilst both women acknowledge the transition
from residing in a larger family home with a
spacious garden to relocating to a later living
community, they came to recognise that this
change is indeed well-suited to their needs.
“Living here is completely different, you say
goodbye to a lot of the things you had in your
previous home, but you welcome a lot of other
things that you wouldn’t normally have, such
as remarkable facilities, attentive staff available
every step of the way and having everything you
need on your doorstep”, says Vivien.
The luxury lateral apartments at Fitzjohn’s and
Belle Vue, paired with the equally luxurious
facilities including a wellness lounge and spa
and private off-street parking are a true rarity in
central London. The apartments have been created
to ensure that those looking to move to the
development do not have to sacrifice on space and
can enjoy all that Hampstead has to offer while
living in residences that have a vast palatial air.
Miriam and Vivien both highlighted the peace of
mind they experience thanks to the attentive staff
and security measures at Pegasus communities,
which includes a seven-day concierge service of
trained staff who are there to help at any time in
a discreet and personal manner. Vivien shared, "I
like the fact that when I come back home at night
or from a trip away, there is always a friendly face
that nods, and if you need anything, the staff are
only too happy to help, no matter what it is”.
