How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
We offer some of the lowest service charges in the retirement sector which is why many of our Residents are pleasantly surprised to find that the service charges work out lower than what they were paying, in comparable costs, on their previous home.
This is because the service charge combines a wide range of services and property-related expenses into a combined cost. Residents find they benefit from a more manageable and easier-to-budget lifestyle, without having to worry about unexpected maintenance bills.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Residents, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
The service charge covers:
- The cost of your dedicated Lodge Manager
- Security systems
- 24-hour Careline call monitoring system
- External maintenance of the building and grounds
- Heating & lighting of communal areas
- Provision of furnishings in communal areas
- Building insurance
Who is responsible for the management of the Lodge?
All developments are managed by Churchill Estates Management Limited, our own property management company, so you can be confident in the expertise of our team operating under the Churchill Group.
No exit fees, meaning no unexpected costs!
In 2025 we announced that Residents will no longer pay any exit fees when selling or subletting their apartments, making the process far more straightforward and hassle-free. Whilst many retirement housing providers still apply fees, we have set a new standard by abolishing them entirely - helping to provide greater peace of mind and making life simpler both for Residents and their families!
Calculating your savings...
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.
Wells is England's smallest city, sheltered beneath the Mendip Hills in Somerset. Named after the springs that rise in the grounds of the Bishop's Palace, it combines historic interest and beautiful architecture, with medieval lanes and everyday amenities close by, making it a fine place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the city, the Mendip Hills, the Somerset Levels, and the caves at Cheddar Gorge are close at hand. Glastonbury, Bath, and Wells's market square give plenty of scope for history, shopping, and wider days out in beautiful surroundings.
Local highlights
Beside the cathedral, the moated Bishop's Palace and its gardens surround the springs that give Wells its name. Level paths, lawns, an arboretum, and a café make the gardens a peaceful, easy place for a gentle stroll and a restful afternoon.
Wells's medieval centre, around the market place and the historic Vicars' Close, is full of unspoilt old buildings. A twice-weekly market, independent shops, and cafés on level, compact streets make it an easy and characterful place for a gentle wander and lunch.
A short drive away, Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole offer show caves, cliffs, and countryside on the edge of the Mendips. Level cave walkways, visitor centres, and cafés make either an easy and interesting day out into Somerset's landscape and geology.
