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.
Kendal is a historic market town in Cumbria, known as the 'Gateway to the Lakes'. Set among low hills and rolling countryside just outside the Lake District, its largely pedestrianised high street, market square, and independent shops make it a characterful and convenient place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the fells and lakes of the Lake District National Park lie a short drive away, with Windermere close by. The Yorkshire Dales, and Morecambe Bay, as well as good rail and motorway links also make the wider region easy to reach for days out.
Local highlights
Kendal is well known for its arts and heritage, with the Abbot Hall gallery and the Museum of Lakeland Life beside the River Kent. Fine collections, level galleries, and riverside surroundings make for an easy, interesting visit in the heart of town.
The ruins of Kendal Castle stand on a low hill above the town, once linked to Katherine Parr. A gentle walk up the grassy slopes rewards with wide views over Kendal and the surrounding fells, a pleasant spot for fresh air and a picnic.
A short drive away, the National Trust's Sizergh offers a medieval hall, rock garden, and estate walks, while nearby Levens Hall has famous topiary gardens. Level paths, cafés, and beautiful planting make for an easy and rewarding day out.
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!”
