About
Wigginton Cottages is a retirement living development operated by Churchill Living, offering homes for those looking to downsize while maintaining their independence and privacy. The cottages are designed for residents who want the benefits of a retirement community without compromising on space or autonomy.
Residents have the option to join the wider Lodge community through voluntary membership, which opens access to social activities, events and shared facilities. Those who prefer a quieter arrangement can remain independent, with the reassurance of being part of an established retirement setting nearby.
