At Chipstead Lake, I have been able to develop meaningful relationships. I have been living here for 30 years and have enjoyed every moment with no dull day. I have my own independence here and often go fishing on the local lake, visit my local pub as well as manage a bar for residents to drink and socialise. It's great fun!
