A retirement development in Malmesbury recently celebrated its grand opening, where a number of apartments have already been reserved.

Churchill Retirement Living celebrated the opening of the new William Lodge on Gloucester Road earlier this month where 60 visitors admired the professionally designed show complex and were treated to sparkling wine and nibbles.

William Lodge offers 26 one and two bedroom privately owned retirement apartments and shared facilities, designed exclusively for the over 60s.

Jo Ridehalgh, regional marketing executive at Churchill Retirement Living, said: "We were delighted with the turnout at the Grand Opening and it was great to meet potential purchasers who are looking to enjoy their retirement in this beautiful part of the country.

"Visitors had the opportunity to look around the superb show apartment, landscaped gardens and Owners’ Lounge, which has its very own coffee bar."

"William Lodge is proving extremely popular with a number of the apartments already sold.

"Our properties offer security, peace of mind and independent living, along with support and a sense of community.

"Being in a manageable home with low maintenance can offer a new lease of life for our Owners, while ensuring they are close to amenities and surrounded by a new community."

The new development allows Owners to have more time for the things they enjoy, including events in the Owners' Lounge.
