Retirement Cottages in Southwater

Charmans Mews features an exclusive collection of 6 two bedroom retirement cottages coming to the rural town of Southwater. 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 36 one and two bedroom apartments at Charmans Lodge.

Surrounded by countryside and perfectly located for the local shopping amenities, Southwater has all you need for your day to day needs! The transport links to both London and Brighton make the area popular those looking for exciting city and costal days out!

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

  • Surrounded by countryside Southwater Village has all you need for your day to day needs from a Co-Op, selection of eaterires, medical centre, leisure centre and library.
  • Southwater Country Park is the real jewel in the village. Southwater Country Park has 70 acres of attractive water and landscape which is enjoyed by both people and wildlife. Based around the former brickworks, which produced hundreds of millions of bricks for London’s sewers in the first part of the twentieth century.

  • Nearby town of Horsham is a mixture of old and new, with historic streets wrapped around Swan Walk shopping centre in the heart of the town.
