Each of our retirement properties have been carefully designed to make life easier, leaving you free to enjoy your retirement.

All of our retirement cottages are completely self-contained with their own private garden and allocated parking space. Access to the social events within the Lodge’s Owners Lounge are available with a Lodge Club membership.

Kitchens are tiled with colour-coordinated worktops, and come with integrated appliances.

All cottages are inspected by our Customer Services department to ensure they meet the high standard of finish and quality expected by our customers. Churchill Living is the only major housebuilder to offer a 3 year warranty period as standard. Churchill is also a member of the National House-Building Council and every Churchill cottage is also covered by a 10 year NHBC Buildmark warranty.

Whatโ€™s included in my service charge?

Our Service Charge typically covers the maintenance of the front gardens, along with the private road and associated drainage. It also includes window cleaning, the Lodge Manager and the 24 hour Careline support system.

We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Owners to consider, consulting with them on this every 6 months.

“Living in a Churchill Apartment is absolutely marvellous. The whole building is so nice and warm all the time that weโ€™ve hardly had to use the heating inside our apartment. When we do turn it up a notch or two itโ€™s nice to know we donโ€™t have to worry about the cost or the environmental impact, as itโ€™s all so energy efficient and covered within our annual service charge.”

John and Doreen Pitt, Lewis Carroll Lodge, Cheltenham
