    Audley Group builds and manages luxury retirement villages throughout the UK with seventeen sites currently available and three in development.

    At Audley Villages, we've led the way in introducing a completely new concept in retirement living within the UK; the luxury retirement village.

    We've built a reputation for the sensitive renovation and redevelopment of important yet neglected buildings. We choose properties in substantial grounds in desirable locations, creating an exclusive country club in the main building, then adding a number of beautifully designed apartments and cottages around it. We also provide care within the villages and in the surrounding areas on a totally flexible basis, with as little or as much help as is needed.

    Our owners own their homes and enjoy full membership of the Audley Club. The result is a genuine village, complete with its own facilities and 24-hour security, yet also forming part of the wider local community.

    In 2016 we launched Mayfield Villages
