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.
Hertford is a historic market town in the East Hertfordshire countryside, about twenty miles north of London, with origins from the 10th century. Riverside walks, a modern waterfront quarter, independent shops, and excellent rail links to the capital make it a characterful and convenient place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the meeting of the rivers Lea and the Beane offers level waterside walks and open meadows, while the Hertfordshire countryside and the Lee Valley are close by. Fast trains reach London directly, making days out and family visits straightforward.
Local highlights
Hertford Castle, with its restored Norman gatehouse, stands in attractive grounds beside the river in the heart of town. Level lawns, riverside paths, and regular events make the castle grounds an easy and pleasant place for a gentle walk or a quiet sit.
Hertford's historic centre, around the Market Place and Maidenhead Street, is full of character, with timber-framed and Georgian buildings, independent shops, and inns. A regular market and a good choice of cafés make a gentle wander through the old streets a real pleasure.
A seasonal waterbus and level towpaths along the River Lea link the town with the green open spaces of the Lee Valley. Riverside walks, narrowboats, and abundant wildlife make it an easy and scenic way to enjoy the countryside close to the town.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I’ve been very busy getting to know everyone and getting involved in the local community. I’m on the Highcliffe in Bloom committee, I help run an after school club with the local church, and I’m helping the local Rotary Club. I enjoy a very busy lifestyle and it’s been wonderful making new friends here at Rothesay Lodge and in my new neighbourhood in general.”
“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!”
