Retirement properties in East Grinstead
Want to enjoy less maintenance, reduce your household bills, or feel safe and secure? Look no further. Churchill Living could give you the lifestyle you deserve.
Retirement is not just about finding a new home – it’s about discovering a vibrant and fulfilling lifestyle surrounded by like-minded individuals. At Churchill Living, we believe in creating more than just apartments; we foster welcoming communities where friendships flourish and connections thrive.
Discover a Vibrant Lifestyle at McIndoe Lodge
Located in the charming town of East Grinstead, McIndoe Lodge offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience and community. This private development is designed to bring people together, providing an inviting atmosphere where Owners can enjoy both their independence and a strong sense of belonging.
With its prime location near independent shops, restaurants, and transport links, McIndoe Lodge is perfectly positioned for an active lifestyle. The development’s communal areas, including the Owners’ Lounge and Coffee Bar, are ideal for socialising and forming new friendships. Owners regularly come together for coffee mornings, themed evenings and special events, making every day an opportunity to connect and enjoy retirement to the fullest.
Beyond the Lodge, the local area offers an abundance of opportunities for exploration and engagement. From visiting Standen, the National Trust’s flagship Arts and Crafts country house, to enjoying the nearby Forest and Worth Ways for scenic walks and cycling, there’s something for everyone. The town’s rich history, with buildings dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, adds to the charm of this sought-after location.
We are committed to making the transition into retirement living as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Our new Experience Apartment allows prospective Owners to try the lifestyle first-hand, spending time in one of our beautifully designed apartments and experiencing the warm and welcoming community for themselves.
For a limited time only we’ll pay your STAMP DUTY* when you complete by Friday 6th June.

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.
