A retirement living apartment company is putting on an open day to showcase their new properties.

Churchill Retirement Living’s Dutton Lodge in Penrith is the site of the open day, and the company is eager to promote the town of Penrith as a ‘scenic and historic market town’.

A spokesperson from Churchill Retirement Living said: “On Wednesday, August 24, between 11am and 3pm, anyone interested in finding out more about life at Dutton Lodge is invited to join the sales team to view the stylish one and two-bedroom apartments at the development.”

“Visitors will also be able to take a tour of Dutton Lodge’s landscaped gardens before enjoying a glass of fizz and light refreshments in the stylish owners’ lounge.”

Bernadette Hennelly, regional marketing manager at Churchill Retirement Living, said: “Moving home in later life is a major decision which is why we encourage potential purchasers to register for this event, come and talk to our team and see first-hand what Dutton Lodge has to offer.

“Those attending will also be the first to view our new Experience Apartments, which offer prospective purchasers the opportunity to enjoy an overnight stay and try before they buy.

“Bookings will be taken at the event, and we anticipate strong demand as people seek to learn more about the low maintenance and sociable lifestyle they can expect at Dutton Lodge.”

Situated in the heart of Penrith, Dutton Lodge is a collection of 54 one and two-bedroom apartments with private parking.

Homeowners benefit from easy access to the town’s shops and amenities, including a regular farmers’ market, Marks & Spencer food hall, leisure centre and cinema.

Historians can enjoy visiting the nearby Penrith Castle while those with a passion for the outdoors can explore the town’s many heritage trails and the spectacular Cumbrian countryside.

Bernadette added: “Penrith is a popular, year-round destination and with the beauty of the Lake District National Park on the doorstep, it’s not surprising that Cumbria regularly features in the UK’s best places to retire.

“Properties at Dutton Lodge are designed to make life easier, offering security and peace of mind for homeowners to lead independent and active lives in a sought-after location.

“Come and see for yourselves on August 24.”
