Retirements Cottages in Bridport, Dorset

We are awaiting planning for a proposed collection of exclusive two bedroom retirement cottages in the costal town of Bridport. 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 will be part of a wider retirement community featuring a collection of one and two bedroom apartments.

Only a mile from the dramatic Jurassic Coast, Bridport is a vibrant market town with an eclectic mix of shops, cafes and restaurants and a popular arts and culture scene.

Whatโ€™s included in my service charge?

Our Service Charge typically covers the maintenance of the front gardens, along with the private road and associated drainage. It also includes window cleaning, the Lodge Manager and the 24 hour Careline support system.

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.”
