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.
Drayton is a popular residential area on the edge of Portsmouth in Hampshire, with traditional independent shops and a large supermarket close by for everyday needs. A strong community, green spaces, and the waterfront city of Portsmouth within easy reach make it a convenient place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the neighbourhood, Portsdown Hill rises just to the north with wide views over the harbour and coast, while Langstone Harbour and its marshes lie close by. Portsmouth's waterfront, Chichester, and the South Downs are all within easy reach for wider days out.
Local highlights
A short distance away, Portsmouth's waterfront brings together the Historic Dockyard, the Spinnaker Tower, and Gunwharf Quays. Level walkways, harbour boat trips, and plenty of cafés make it an easy and interesting day out among naval history and modern shopping.
Close by, Farlington Marshes is a coastal nature reserve on the shore of Langstone Harbour, known for its wintering birds. A level, circular path around the seawall offers open views and abundant wildlife, an easy and peaceful spot for a gentle waterside walk.
A short drive away, Staunton Country Park at Havant offers ornamental gardens, glasshouses, a lake, and a farm set in historic parkland. Level paths, a tea room, and open lawns make it a relaxed and enjoyable place for a gentle day outdoors.
What our residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I chose to rent a new apartment at Baker Lodge because it suited my lifestyle 100%. The quality and the support you get from staff and fellow Residents is great. The location is very good and the Communal Lounge could accommodate royalty. My apartment provides safe living and enjoyment, a good quality of life which gives me a very positive feeling.”
“I’m settling in well and getting to know my new neighbours, who are all very friendly and welcoming. One great thing about my new apartment is that I spend less time doing household chores and more time having fun. My family are glad I’ve made the move, as they know I’m safe and happy here. Churchill’s downsizing advisers and our Sales Executive Hilary were such a great help with the move, I couldn’t have done it without them!”
