Beck Lodge, Park Gate SO31

Beck Lodge is a popular Churchill over 60's retirement development with 46 one and two bedroom apartments. The apartment itself is situated on the upper ground floor, right at the end of the building, and enjoys a southerly aspect overlooking the front gardens and Botley Road.

The front door opens into a spacious hallway with a useful walk-in storage cupboard housing the meters and providing excellent practical storage. The bedroom is a generous double and features a large walk-in wardrobe with hanging rails and shelving. The shower room is fully tiled and well fitted, with built-in storage, non-slip flooring and a chrome heated towel rail. The living room is a real highlight, being dual aspect, making it light and bright, with a feature electric fireplace creating a cosy focal point. A glazed door leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with light grey gloss units and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, electric oven, halogen hob and washer/dryer, keeping everything neat and streamlined. An obscure glazed window to the side provides both privacy and natural light.

Set opposite the M&S Food Hall and within easy reach of a wide range of local shops and amenities, the location is both convenient and well connected. Swanwick train station is also just a short walk away. Residents benefit from attractive communal grounds and a car park with spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis. Inside the building is a welcoming residents’ lounge and bar, a real hub of the community where you can join organised social events or simply relax and enjoy watching the world go by.

Beck Lodge benefits from the reassurance of an on-site Lodge Manager, responsible for the smooth and effective day-to-day running of the development. They are on hand to help with everyday queries, oversee the communal areas and can even keep an eye on your apartment if you are away, offering genuine peace of mind for safe and secure retirement living. In addition, there is a 24-hour call centre support system in place, along with a guest suite available to hire, ideal for visiting friends or family.
