Show more "St John’s Lodge is a development of 44 one and two bedroom apartments in the village of Timperley in Altrincham just 7 miles southwest of Manchester. St John’s Lodge is ideally situated for daily amenities in the village centre and is aided by the Metro link, a regular tram providing journeys into the city centre, where you can indulge in stylish independent shopping, fine dining or visit on of the many attractions. St John’s Lodge is only a 500 metre walk away from the village centre where local high street convenience stores offer daily essentials.

There is plenty to do in the area with well known local events such as the annual Timperley Country Fair and the Timperley Horticultural Society Flower and Vegetable Show. Being so close to Manchester, there is even more just on the doorstep from Canal Cruises to museums.

Local transport is excellent with regular local buses into and around town and the surrounding areas and the M56 linking to the motorway network.

St John’s Lodge’s manager is on hand throughout the day to support the residents and keep the development in perfect shape. They arrange many regular events in the Owners’ Lounge from coffee mornings to games afternoons.

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
