Thackeray Lodge is a beautiful development of 37 one and two bedroom apartments exclusively for the over 60s and ideally located in the vibrant and charming market town of Fareham. It is named after the author William Makepeace Thackeray - best known for his 1840’s novels of Vanity Fair and The Luck of Barry Lyndon – who regularly stayed in Fareham during school holidays with his great grandmother.

Fareham is nestled between the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth, with excellent travel connections that can get you to Portsmouth in just 10 minutes by train. Thackeray Lodge is well-located for the high street made up of characterful, historical buildings and a modern pedestrianised central shopping area, including Fareham Shopping Centre filled with high street brands, cafés and restaurants to explore. An independent farmers market is held on the first Saturday of every month selling freshly grown and local produce. Fareham Leisure Centre and Cams Hall Golf Club are also situated close by.

Situated on a picturesque coastline, just north-west of Portsmouth Harbour, Fareham provides a rich and varied heritage of both maritime and national history, with something for everyone. The Town Quay is home to old mills and waterside buildings, whilst the estuary itself is a haven for seabirds and other wildlife. Within the bustling town, lie peaceful spots perfect for leisurely walks and picnics such as the nearby Garden of Reflection, Park Lane Recreation Ground and Portchester Castle which is situated to the east of Fareham.
