Best Retirement Villages in Oxford, England

Pegasus Grange is a retirement village in Oxford offering independent living. The village has 91 apartments in one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom layouts, so a resident can choose a private home for living alone, sharing with a partner or having more room. Independent living means private accommodation with community services rather than daily care, while the communal lounges, gardens and rooftop terrace provide places for shared activities and gatherings.

Residents must be at least 55, making Pegasus Grange a possible fit for older adults who want independent living alongside organised groups and communal facilities. Activities include coffee mornings, book groups, singing, walking, gardening, sewing and crafts, communal meals, concerts, talks, Pilates and aquafit. Exercise is available in the heated swimming pool and small gym, and frequent buses to central Oxford stop just outside the side gate. Siân Harper is the director.
