About
Otley Cottages is a retirement living development operated by Churchill Living, offering properties available to buy. The cottages provide a self-contained alternative to apartment-style living, with each property featuring its own dedicated parking, private garden and garden shed for storage — making them suitable for those with pets or who value outdoor space and independence.
Residents have the option to join the main Lodge community through a small membership fee, which provides access to community activities and events. This participation is entirely voluntary, allowing purchasers to choose their level of involvement with wider development life.
