Austen Lodge - Retirement Apartments, London Road, Basingstoke
Austen Lodge is a sought-after retirement development exclusively for the over 60s, located on London Road just a short walk from Basingstoke town centre and Festival Place shopping centre. Built by Churchill Retirement Living, the development offers a secure, low-maintenance lifestyle with a welcoming community feel and high-quality facilities throughout.
This purpose-built complex features 56 self-contained apartments, all designed for comfort, practicality, and peace of mind. Each apartment has its own private front door, giving residents the freedom of fully independent living while enjoying the added benefits of a managed and sociable environment.
Apartments offer well-proportioned layouts and modern interiors, with features including:
- Spacious lounge with electric heating and TV/telephone points
- Fully fitted kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer, waist-height oven, hob, and extractor hood
- Space and connection for a washer/dryer
- Contemporary shower room with walk-in shower (some with en-suite or cloakroom)
- Generously sized master bedroom with fitted walk-in wardrobe
- Second bedroom ideal for guests, hobbies, or home office use
- Secure camera entry system and 24-hour emergency call facility
Communal features include:
- Stylish Owners' Lounge with coffee bar - a key social space for events, activities, or relaxing with neighbours
- Lift access to all floors
- On-site Lodge Manager (non-resident, available during the day for help and support)
- Landscaped communal gardens with patio seating areas
- Owners' car park (visitor parking is off-site)
- Guest Suite available for overnight visitors
- Mobility scooter store and communal refuse room
Austen Lodge has been designed with everyday needs in mind - wide hallways, easy-access features, and minimal maintenance requirements make these apartments ideal for those looking to downsize without compromising on comfort or independence.
The development is ideally placed for local amenities including a supermarket, pharmacy, GP practice, bus stop, and cafes - all within walking distance. The nearby Festival Place shopping centre offers a wide range of retail, leisure, and dining options, as well as direct access to Basingstoke train station.
Each property is sold with a 999-year lease from June 2023, and service charges cover the maintenance of communal areas, buildings insurance, and support services - allowing for a relaxed and worry-free lifestyle.
Viewings are available by appointment.
