Work under way on dozens of new retirement homes near Aldridge park

Churchill Retirement Living has started work on a new collection of independent living retirement apartments in Little Aston Road.

They will be named Croft Lodge in a nod to the nearby Aldridge Croft park which new apartment owners will be able to enjoy on their doorstep.

Croft Lodge will have 49 one- and two-bedroom apartments, with integrated kitchens and appliances, walk-in wardrobes, landscaped communal garden, free parking and a lodge manager to oversee the day-to-day running of the development.

It will also include a guest suite for family and friends to stay in, and a warm and friendly owners’ lounge with a coffee bar where people can spend time socialising with each other.

CGI images have also been released showing what the development could look like when finished.

Churchill plans to launch the development to the public early next year and have it ready for the first residents to move in by spring 2025.

It will be Churchill’s second development in Aldridge following the success of its nearby Coleman Lodge.

Bernadette Hennelly, regional marketing manager at Churchill Retirement Living, said: “Construction is now under way at Croft Lodge, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the first new owners to move in as soon as it’s completed in spring 2025.

"After the success of our nearby Coleman Lodge development we’re seeing strong demand from local over 60s looking to downsize and enjoy friendship, security, and low maintenance lifestyle in a brand new apartment.

"We’d encourage any interested purchasers to register their interest with us now to find out more and see what Churchill has to offer.”
