About
Street Cottages, operated by Churchill Living, offers independent retirement living through cottages available to buy or rent. The development appeals to those seeking to downsize while retaining autonomy beyond traditional apartment-style living. Each cottage includes dedicated parking and a private garden, with storage sheds provided on selected properties — a practical feature for residents with pets or who need additional space.
Connection to the wider community is available through an optional club membership, which gives access to activities and events hosted at the main Lodge. This membership is entirely voluntary, allowing residents to choose their level of involvement with communal life.
