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.

Basingstoke is a lively town in the heart of Hampshire, well placed near to the M3 with fast links to London. Modern shopping and leisure facilities, along with parks and countryside such as Black Dam Ponds close to the centre, make it a convenient and comfortable place to enjoy retirement.

Beyond the town, the Hampshire countryside, the Basingstoke Canal, and historic estates and gardens are close at hand. Winchester and Newbury make the wider area easy to reach for shopping, culture, and days out.

Local highlights

Eastrop Park, close to the town centre, is a much-loved green space with a boating lake, open lawns, and level paths. Ducks, gentle circuits, and plenty of benches make it an easy and pleasant place for a stroll or a quiet sit by the water.

Festival Place is Basingstoke's main shopping centre, bringing together well-known stores, cafés, and services under one roof. Modern, level, and designed with lifts and seating, it is an easy and comfortable place for everyday shopping, a relaxed lunch, or meeting friends.

Milestones Museum recreates Victorian and 1930s streets under cover, with old shops, vehicles, and a traditional sweet shop to explore. All on the level, with a café and plenty to see, it makes an easy, nostalgic day out whatever the weather.

A short drive away, the National Trust's The Vyne is a Tudor country estate with gardens, woodland, and a lake. Level garden paths, a wetland bird hide, and a café make it an easy and rewarding place for a gentle day outdoors.

What our residents say

Don't just take it from us

“I have lived in Totnes for 17 years,so it was ideal when Churchill started to build Elmhirst Lodge. The position is ideal, right in the middle of town with everything close at hand. I just really feel at home in my new apartment, the energy is good and I have a balcony overlooking the gardens which is great for sitting in the sun!”

“Once I'd made the decision to go with Home Exchange everybody helped wherever they could. It was after Christmas I was looking, and I moved in the middle of January. They were just incredible and helped me so much in every way. ”
