Swanley Park is the town's main green escape, with around sixty acres of open parkland, home to mature trees, a boating lake, and a café. Level paths make it perfect for relaxed walking, while a miniature railway and open lawns give plenty to enjoy on a gentle day out.

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.
Swanley is a peaceful town in the Sevenoaks district of Kent, about fifteen miles south-east of central London. Its mainly pedestrianised centre offers a variety of shops for everyday needs, while a large country park and fast links to the capital make it a convenient and comfortable place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the Kent countryside and the North Downs offer gentle walks and pretty villages, while the historic estates of the area are close by. Fast trains and the M25 make London, Rochester, and the Kent coast easy to reach for wider days out.
Local highlights
A short drive away, Lullingstone in the Darent Valley offers a Roman villa, a country park, and a historic castle with gardens. Level riverside and meadow paths, a visitor centre, and a café make it an easy and interesting day out into Kent's countryside and history.
Close by, the pretty Darent Valley winds past the villages of Eynsford and Shoreham, with their old bridges, flint churches, and riverside pubs. Gentle, mostly level walks along the river make for an easy and scenic outing into some of Kent's loveliest countrysides.
Swanley's largely pedestrianised centre keeps everyday shops, a market, and services together within easy reach. Friendly and manageable, with a library and cafés close at hand, it is a pleasant place to run errands and stop for a coffee or lunch.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“We’re enjoying the comfort and security. There’s no more hassle, I don’t have any worries about maintaining my old house and looking after the garden. Swanley is very well connected with plenty of good shops and services, and we have everything we need on our doorstep. The train station is close by too, so it’s easy to get out and about if we want to go further.”
“Churchill made everything easy with selling our previous property through Home Exchange, allowing us to concentrate on moving to our new apartment. From start to finish everything has been thought of for ease. Our Sales Executive Dee was excellent in ensuring a smooth hassle-free move. To anyone considering a move here we would say just do it, you won’t regret it. Everyone is so friendly and we’ve made loads of new friends. It is a new lifestyle, where you can join in if you want or be quiet if you wish.”
