Retirement Cottages in Staplehurst

Baker Mews features an exclusive collection of 2 two bedroom retirement cottages in Staplehurst. These cottages are a great alternative for those looking to downsize and maintain a higher level of independence beyond apartment living.

Our cottages typically attract purchasers that want the benefits of living alongside like minded neighbours, in addition to maintaining a life of independence. You have the option to be part of the main Lodge community if you wish via a small club membership fee which allows you to benefit from the community activities and events, but this is completely optional.

Cottages have the benefit of dedicated parking and a private garden which is great for those with pets, we even provide a small shed in the garden for storage. Cottages are sold freehold and also benefit from a straightforward management arrangement which provides services such as window cleaning, communal garden maintenance and a 24-hour careline support, ideal when thinking about the future. These cottages are part of a wider retirement community featuring a collection of 27 one and two bedroom apartments at Baker Lodge

We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Owners to consider, consulting with them on this every 6 months.

“Living in a Churchill Apartment is absolutely marvellous. The whole building is so nice and warm all the time that weโ€™ve hardly had to use the heating inside our apartment. When we do turn it up a notch or two itโ€™s nice to know we donโ€™t have to worry about the cost or the environmental impact, as itโ€™s all so energy efficient and covered within our annual service charge.”

Local area

Staplehurst is often referred to as a village – indeed, it was voted Kent Village of the Year in 2003, and its village sign still proudly welcomes visitors – but really it’s grown into a small town, situated nine miles south of Maidstone.

  • Staplehurst has a vibrant history, developing along the straight Roman road running from Rochester down through Maidstone to the High Weald’s one-time iron-mining villages.
  • Nearby villages include the picturesque Sissingnhurst and Headcorn, whilst Biddenden and its vineyards are less than ten miles away.
  • London is within easy reach from Staplehurst station. Itโ€™s on Ashfordโ€™s mainline to Charing Cross and Cannon Street via Tonbridge, and under an hourโ€™s journey โ€“ so good news for commuters.
  • The A229 runs all the way to Maidstone via Linton and Loose and connects you to the M20 London bound, with access to the M26, M25 and Gatwick and Heathrow airports.
  • This new development is located on the high street with a bus stop outside offering services to Maidstone, Hawkhurst, Sandhurst and Cranbrook
  • Within 0.2 miles of the site you will find a dentist, park with open green space and within 0.3 miles is Staplehurst shopping centre which includes a Spar, Costa Coffee, selection of eateries, library and pharmacy. Also within 0.3 miles is a health centre, beauticians and post office, all on a level walk.
  • Within 0.5 miles is Sainsburyโ€™s superstore and Staplehurst train station which services London Charing Cross via Tonbridge, Dover Priory, Ramsgate via Canterbury West and London Cannon Street.
