How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
Now is the time to take stock and think about how much time and money you have spent over the past year on house maintenance. If the answer is far too much, then a lifestyle with fewer maintenance worries and a service charge that’s easy to budget for could be the answer to saving money and enjoying more of your time on the things you love.
There are many misconceptions about service charges and many of our Owners are pleasantly surprised that the service charges for their apartment frequently work out less than what they were paying in comparable costs on their previous property.
Our Service Charge typically covers the cost of providing a Lodge Manager, security systems and call monitoring, external maintenance of the building and grounds, building insurance, heating, lighting and provision of all of the furnishings for the Owners’ Lounge and communal areas – all essential ingredients of the independent lifestyle our developments provide.
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 we’ve hardly had to use the heating inside our apartment. When we do turn it up a notch or two it’s nice to know we don’t have to worry about the cost or the environmental impact, as it’s all so energy efficient and covered within our annual service charge.”
John and Doreen Pitt, Lewis Carroll Lodge, Cheltenham
We appreciate everyone’s household costs will differ which is why we encourage Customers to complete a ‘Savings Calculator’ with one of our Sales Executives. This calculator is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the value in our easy to budget Service Charge.

News
Helen gives up her car to enjoy a more active lifestyle at Dovehouse Lodge
Helen Bowen is pleased to have given up the responsibility of driving a car since her move to Churchill’s Dovehouse Lodge in Hitchin. Living in the heart of town means she can walk to the shops every day, which keeps her fit and active, so she doesn’t miss driving at all.
Eileen enjoys her freedom and a new lease of life at Dovehouse Lodge
Eileen Durkin and her husband moved to Dovehouse Lodge from a four-bedroom house, which they felt was too large for their needs. Keen to stay in their local area to be near to her daughter, the couple moved in soon after the development was completed.
Testimonials
“The atmosphere at the Lodge is lovely and so are the people. I have never regretted the move and if laughter is good for you then this is the place to be. We are comfortable and happy here.”
“Giving up my car was a great relief, I was losing my confidence in driving and now I live here I can easily walk to Hitchin town centre. I can walk to Waitrose for my groceries, or take buses or the train if I want to go further afield.”
