Thousands of over-60s in the UK move to purpose-built retirement developments to cut down on household maintenance worries and costs, and enjoy a hassle-free, independent lifestyle. A new-build retirement property in Dorset promises fresh sea air all year round, relaxing strolls along the Jurassic coastline, and a choice of pretty towns to visit. Churchill Retirement Living currently has a good choice of retirement developments in Dorset, each made up of completely self-contained apartments - offering privacy when you want it, as well as communal facilities such as an Owners' Lounge for when you fancy some company.
Right at the heart of the coastal town of Bournemouth, near shops, parks, gardens, a golf course and the beach, Osbourne Lodge brings together 54 one- and two-bedroom retirement apartments priced from £198,950 to £281,950. Showcasing Churchill's brand new Premier Collection, featuring apartments of larger dimensions than their standard developments, each property at Osbourne Lodge combines style and safety, with a focus on giving owners both peace of mind and convenience in a retirement living environment.
Constructed to National House-Building Council (NHBC) standards and paying great attention to detail, the finished apartments have a whole host of features to make life easier in your retirement - from the handy illuminated light switches to the easy-turn lever taps. At the same time, safety and security is taken care of with a camera entry system, a 24-hour Careline support system, and an intruder alarm. There is no compromise on comfort, either, with heated towel rails in the bathrooms, double glazing throughout, and other features such as electric slimline heaters. Many apartments have their own balcony, dressing room and en suites, and there is a choice of either bath with shower over, or a shower room.
Also in Bournemouth, but this time in the suburb of Southbourne, Churchill is constructing a new Dorset retirement development called Grange Road, with prices yet to be released. Situated near Southbourne's famous Cliff Railway, offering easy access to the Blue Flag beach, the development will be popular amongst nature lovers, walkers, and those who want to escape the crowds of Bournemouth's town centre. The main shopping street, Southbourne Grove, is packed with independent shops, while Seafield Gardens provides a pleasant public open space with a range of outdoor facilities such as bowls and tennis.
Moving inland to the Blackmore Vale area in the north of the county, Royal Lodge is a brand new development in Newbury, Gillingham. Made up of 35 one- and two-bedroom retirement apartments priced from £129,950 to £199,950, this is the ideal development for those who want to stay fit and active. Riversmeet community and fitness centre is nearby, offering a good range of sporting facilities including a swimming pool, therapy room, fitness suite, sports hall, and bowling club.
Gillingham is also situated on the Exeter to London railway line, and just four miles from the London to Penzance trunk road, making it ideal for those who like to travel and explore or who have family elsewhere in the country. Again, apartments at Royal Lodge combine convenience, safety and security with similar features to those found at Osbourne Lodge.
