Retirement Cottages in Wigginton

We are delighted to introduce an exclusive collection of two bedroom retirement cottages at Tannery Lodge, coming soon to the sought-after village of Wigginton.

Designed specifically for those seeking to downsize without compromising on space or independence, these thoughtfully designed cottages offer a unique opportunity to enjoy the benefits of retirement living within a welcoming and like-minded community. Our cottages are particularly popular with homeResidents who value their independence while also appreciating the reassurance of being part of a wider retirement community. HomeResidents can choose to become part of the main Lodge community through an optional membership, providing access to a variety of social activities, events and communal facilities, while retaining complete freedom and privacy.  Each cottage benefits from dedicated parking, a private garden and a garden shed for additional storage, making them ideal for those who enjoy outdoor space or have pets.

Sold on a freehold basis, the cottages also benefit from a simple management arrangement that includes services such as window cleaning, communal grounds maintenance and a 24-hour Careline support service for added peace of mind. The cottages form part of the wider Tannery Lodge retirement community, which will also feature a collection of 45 one and two bedroom retirement apartments. Wigginton is a desirable village offering a range of everyday amenities, including local shops, pubs, health and leisure facilities. The neighbouring village of Haxby provides further conveniences, including supermarkets, a Post Office and a variety of independent shops and businesses. Residents will also benefit from easy access to York city centre, with its extensive choice of shopping, dining, cultural attractions and leisure opportunities. The nearby A1237 York Ring Road offers excellent connections to the surrounding area and wider road network, making Tannery Lodge an ideal location for those looking to enjoy an active, independent and well-connected retirement lifestyle.

The cottages at Tannery Lodge are expected to launch in Winter 2026. Register your interest today to be among the first to receive updates, floor plans, pricing information and invitations to exclusive launch events as they become available.
