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.
Romsey is a historic market town in Hampshire, with medieval streets wrapped around a magnificent Norman abbey. A short walk from the development, the high street and market place offer well-known brands, independent shops, and cafés, making it a characterful and convenient place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the River Test, famous for its clear chalk stream, and the surrounding Hampshire countryside offer gentle walks close by. Winchester, Southampton, and the New Forest are a short drive away, and good road links make wider days out easy to arrange.
Local highlights
Romsey's compact historic centre, a few minutes' level walk away, gathers independent shops, a department store, cafés, and traditional pubs around the Market Place. Regular markets and seasonal events add gentle interest, making it easy to browse and meet friends on a walkable scale.
Beside the town, the River Test offers gentle riverside walks along one of the world's finest chalk streams, with the parkland of the Broadlands estate close by. Level paths, water meadows, and abundant wildlife make it an easy and restful place for fresh air.
A short drive away, the National Trust's Mottisfont is a former priory turned country retreat, known for its walled rose garden and riverside walks. Level garden paths, a gallery, and a café make it an easy and rewarding day out among beautiful grounds.
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!”
