Shirley Park, along Stratford Road, is one of the area's real assets, with good paths for gentle strolls, plenty of benches, and mature trees and flower beds. Level walking, fresh air, and space to sit make it an easy and pleasant outing close by.

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.
Christchurch is a charming historic town in Dorset, with the New Forest on one side and the Hampshire coast on the other. A famous priory, a riverside quay, and a lively centre of shops and cafés give it real appeal, making it a fine place to enjoy retirement by the water.
Beyond the town, the natural harbour, Hengistbury Head, and Stanpit Marsh offer level waterside walks and abundant birdlife, while the beaches of Bournemouth and the New Forest are close by. Good road and rail links make the wider coast easy to reach for days out.
Local highlights
A short distance away, Solihull town centre offers the Touchwood shopping centre, cafés, and the green expanse of Tudor Grange Park. Level paths, open lawns, and a lake make the park an easy place for a gentle walk, with shopping and lunch close at hand.
A short drive away, Earlswood Lakes offer level, traffic-free paths around three reservoirs, with open water, woodland, and abundant birdlife. A café and gentle circuits make it a relaxed spot for fresh air and a leisurely stroll in the Warwickshire countryside.
Birmingham city centre, a short journey away, offers world-class museums, galleries, and shopping, along with the canalside restaurants of Brindleyplace. Historic Stratford-upon-Avon, with its Shakespeare connections and riverside, is also within easy reach for an interesting day out.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“My friend had moved here and I used to come and visit her quite a lot. I got to like the way it was run and the whole feel of the place. I didn't think I'd be able to move, but the rental option made it possible and it's worked out really well!”
“I decided to visit on an Open Day and promised myself if I didn’t see anyone in the Communal Lounge I wouldn’t bother going any further. Instead, it was full of my kind of people, all of them friendly, chatty and smiling. I decided to rent a new apartment and I’m loving it!”
