Beautiful and comfortable retirement apartments are lovely – but what really makes your house your ‘home’?
Feeling like you’re amongst friends. Waking up every morning feeling happy, safe and confident your day can go wherever you want it to. Knowing you’re somewhere you choose to be, where you can truly express yourself, personalise your surroundings and live life the way you want to live. These are some of the emotional things that make a home, and the kind of experiences we know are important to you.
(As well as beautiful and comfortable, our apartments are future designed to make living easier and better for those in later life!)
We believe that the kind of home you want to show off to your friends a little will be the kind of home you’ll love living in. Great for socialising, but just as good for relaxing in too. We offer one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that are smart, comfortable, light and secure. Your very own apartment where every element has been deeply considered and future-designed to help you age well and stay healthier, happier and stronger for longer.
Buying an apartment in your retirement isn’t always the best option – so why should it be the only option? Assisted living should always be flexible. We offer our apartments for rent because that just suits some people better.
Renting in retirement is getting more and more popular because it offers all the benefits of independent living without any of the stress of owning a house. Not only is there no need for stamp duty costs or legal fees when you move in, but you can also wave bye-bye to those day-to-day maintenance commitments, like building repairs and mowing your lawn. Aside from your rent, the only other charge we make is a one-time joining fee.

We’re delighted to announce that we have secured planning permission to redevelop the site of the former police station on Chiswick High Street into 50 retirement living apartments. The new development will consist of one and two-bed self-contained apartments featuring the very best of Birchgrove’s trademark design and extensive communal facilities, including a restaurant, licensed bar, club room, wellness suite, courtyard garden and much more.
The site has been designed to benefit the wider local community, with a dedicated space on the ground floor which will be available for local groups, charities and individuals to hire, as well as for the police to hold local resident meetings. The police will also be provided with a separate dedicated facilities space which will enable officers to charge their body-worn cameras, iPads and radios, and means a police base will be re-established on the High Road following the station’s closure.
The approval of this new community comes as demand for retirement accommodation across Hounslow increases, and the redevelopment of the police station site will play a vital role in tackling Hounslow’s retirement accommodation shortage.
Our portfolio of high quality assisted living communities is growing rapidly – each as unique and individual as the people who choose to live with us.

We believe that the current housing options for people over 65 exclude a large section of those who don't want to manage another house purchase. Assisted living for rent is the missing piece in the housing puzzle; not right for all, but perfect for some.

about us
The number one concern for most households right now is the rising cost of living. Prices are rising at their fastest rate – energy, food, household goods, council tax, water bills.
At Birchgrove, you don’t have any of the headaches or hassles associated with the above. This is because we have one inclusive rent to give you complete control of your expenditure.
The Birchgrove rental model covers the large-ticket expenses like energy costs - electricity, heating and water - and many of the rising incidental costs that go along with owning your own home i.e. housekeeping, broadband, window cleaning, gardening, buildings insurance, security and a whole host of others things.
Our retirement advisors are here to help answer your questions about life at Birchgrove and help you consider whether it is right for you.
If helpful, our advisors can visit you at home to find out what's important to you i.e. how and where you want to live, as well as offer you a tour of one of our show suites. We can also arrange a personal virtual tour.
