Convenient locations, close to local amenities We are currently awaiting planning for a proposed collection of exclusive two bedroom retirement cottages in the waterfront town of Hythe. 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.
Located on the edge of the New Forest and with views across Southampton Water, Hythe is home to a thriving Georgian High Street, bustling marina and is within easy reach of Southampton City Centre.
Register your interest today for updates on this exciting new development.
Our developments have been carefully designed to make life easier, leaving you free to enjoy your retirement.
Every cottage boasts a specious living room and double glazed windows throughout. The kitchens are finished with colour-coordinated worktops and units and include an integrated fridge freezer, electric waist height oven and ceramic hob.
Cottages come with a 3 year Churchill extended Customer care warranty plus a 10 year home-build warranty for peace of mind. In addition to the many benefits a cottage will bring, you will be moving into a well-insulated home with energy efficient appliances, fixtures and fittings, which helps to keep energy bills low.
What you may not be aware of:
Who is responsible for the management of the development?
All developments are managed by Churchill Estates Management Limited, our own property management company, ensuring your confidence in the expertise of our team operating under the Churchill Group.
What’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 we’ve hardly had to use the heating inside our apartment. When we do turn it up a notch or two it’s nice to know we don’t have to worry about the cost or the environmental impact, as it’s all so energy efficient and covered within our annual service charge.”
John and Doreen Pitt, Lewis Carroll Lodge, Cheltenham
We appreciate everyone’s household costs will differ, and just how daunting the idea of a service charge can be. We are here to help you every step of the way, please contact one of the team to discuss your current costs and help you discover just how much you could be saving. A full service charge budget analysis is available for each individual development.
