About

Faversham Cottages, operated by Churchill Living, offers retirement living in the form of individual cottages available to buy or rent. The properties are designed for those seeking to downsize while retaining independence, and each cottage includes dedicated parking and a private garden — a practical feature for residents with pets, with garden storage also provided.

Residents have the option to join the Lodge community through a small membership fee, which gives access to communal activities and events, though participation is entirely optional. This arrangement allows those who wish to remain independent to do so, whilst offering the opportunity for social engagement for those interested.
