Gilbert Lodge boasts an exclusive collection of beautifully designed, one and two bedroom independent living apartments for the over 60s. The development of 53 apartments is perfectly located in the vibrant town of Beeston, just three miles south-west of Nottingham. Recognised by The Telegraph as one of the best places to downsize.
Beeston offers the perfect blend of convenience, charm, and community. Ideally positioned on Wilmot Lane, Gilbert Lodge places everything you need within easy reach. A Co-op store sits right next door, while Beeston’s thriving high street is just a short stroll away, offering a fantastic choice of supermarkets, boutique shops, cafés, a post office and a variety of local restaurants and traditional inns. With both tram and bus stops located directly outside the development, exploring the local area or travelling into Nottingham City Centre couldn’t be simpler.
Gilbert Lodge has all the ingredients for a vibrant and fulfilling lifestyle, featuring a stylish Residents’ Lounge complete with a welcoming coffee bar, free Wi-Fi and beautifully landscaped communal gardens, the perfect places to relax, socialise and enjoy time with friends. While each apartment benefits from its own private front door, and is thoughtfully designed to offer comfort, style and security, with modern kitchens, spacious living areas and high-quality finishes throughout.
With only three apartments now remaining, there’s never been a better time to discover the lifestyle waiting for you at Gilbert Lodge. Call us today on 0115 6720845 to arrange your viewing and see how we can help you make your move sooner than you think!

WE'VE ABOLISHED EXIT FEES - meaning NO unexpected costs!
Don't miss out on our final remaining apartments at Gilbert Lodge!
How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
We offer some of the lowest service charges in the retirement sector which is why many of our Residents are pleasantly surprised to find that the service charges work out lower than what they were paying, in comparable costs, on their previous home.
This is because the service charge combines a wide range of services and property-related expenses into a combined cost. Residents find they benefit from a more manageable and easier-to-budget lifestyle, without having to worry about unexpected maintenance bills.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Residents, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
The service charge covers:
The cost of your dedicated Lodge Manager
Security systems
24-hour Careline call monitoring system
External maintenance of the building and grounds
Heating & lighting of communal areas
Provision of furnishings in communal areas
Building insurance
Who is responsible for the management of the Lodge?
All developments are managed by Churchill Estates Management Limited, our own property management company, so you can be confident in the expertise of our team operating under the Churchill Group.
No exit fees, meaning no unexpected costs!
In 2025 we announced that Residents will no longer pay any exit fees when selling or subletting their apartments, making the process far more straightforward and hassle-free. Whilst many retirement housing providers still apply fees, we have set a new standard by abolishing them entirely - helping to provide greater peace of mind and making life simpler both for Residents and their families!
Calculating your savings...
We appreciate everyone's household costs will differ which is why we encourage Customers to complete a 'Savings Calculator' with one of our Sales Executives. This calculator is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the value in our easy to budget Service Charge.
Beeston is a lively town in the heart of Nottingham, with a pedestrianised high street of shops, cafés, and restaurants just a couple of minutes from the development. With everyday amenities close by and a tram link into the city, it is a convenient and comfortable place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the River Trent, the canal, and Attenborough Nature Reserve offer level green walks close by, while Nottingham city centre is a short tram ride away. The countryside of Nottinghamshire and good rail links make wider days out easy to arrange.
Local highlights
A short distance away, Attenborough Nature Reserve is a well-known wetland of former gravel pits beside the Trent, rich in birdlife. Level, well-surfaced paths, a visitor centre, and a café make it an easy and peaceful place for a gentle walk and birdwatching.
Beeston's pedestrianised centre keeps shops, cafés, and a market close together on level ground, with a tram stop for a quick, easy ride into Nottingham. Friendly and walkable, it is a pleasant place for everyday shopping and meeting friends for coffee.
Nearby Highfields Park offers a boating lake, gardens, and level lakeside paths. Mature trees, a café, and open lawns make it an easy and attractive place for a gentle stroll or a relaxed afternoon by the water.
The Beeston Canal and the River Trent offer level towpath walks close by, with waterside pubs along the way. A short tram ride away, Nottingham adds castles, museums, and shopping for an easy and interesting day out in the city.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I was very pleased to hear that pets are allowed at the Lodge, as there’s no way I would have moved without Milo. He loves it here too, and we’re in the ideal location for walks in the park or along the high street. He’s 13 years old so we don’t go too far these days to save his legs – and mine! It’s great to be right in the heart of town close to everything we need.”
“I chose to rent a new apartment at Baker Lodge because it suited my lifestyle 100%. The quality and the support you get from staff and fellow Residents is great. The location is very good and the Communal Lounge could accommodate royalty. My apartment provides safe living and enjoyment, a good quality of life which gives me a very positive feeling.”
