Show more "St Francis Lodge in Solihull is named after the former Church on Cornyx Lane, and is ideally located within easy reach of local amenities and the nearby town centre. Tesco Express is within 0.4 miles and Solihull Hospital within 1 mile. The Yew Tree Lane shopping facilities are within 0.3 miles and consist of a Convenience store, two Pharmacies, a Butchers and a Hairdressers. Directly opposite the Yew Tree Lane shops is also the Doctor's Surgery.The Lodge was built and finished to the very highest standards throughout. Every detail has been considered from fitting plenty of plug sockets, TV points and illuminated light switches to the beautifully landscaped gardens, nothing has been missed.
Apart from the beauty and heritage of the old town, Solihull offers a range of shopping experiences and something to suit everyone from handmade crafts to high class fashion. The town centre consists of a thoughtful blend of indoor and outdoor retailers with its picturesque pedestrianised High Street, Mell Square Shopping Centre and Touchwood.
St Francis’ Lodge’s manager is on hand during the day to support the residents and keep the development in perfect shape. They arrange many regular events in the Owners’ Lounge and when appropriate, there are music evenings, bingo, knitting club, film nights and trips out. New Owners are also welcome to suggest any new activities if they wish.
A Guest Suite is available for visitors & use of over 150 guest suites in Retirement lodges across the country. Prices are available on request from the Lodge Manager." Show less
