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.
Brackley is a market town in West Northamptonshire, historically built on the wool and lace trade. With good bus links to surrounding towns, an abundance of amenities, and a varied choice of supermarkets, along with open countryside close by, it is a convenient and comfortable place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the countryside of the Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, and Buckinghamshire borders offers gentle walks and pretty villages, while historic estates and gardens are close by. Bicester, Milton Keynes, and Oxford are a short journey away for shopping and wider days out.
Local highlights
A short drive away, the National Trust's Stowe offers one of the finest landscaped gardens in the country, with lakes, temples, and monuments across sweeping parkland. Level main paths, a shuttle buggy, and a café make it an easy and rewarding day out.
Nearby Sulgrave Manor, linked to the ancestors of George Washington, is a fine Tudor manor with period rooms and gardens. Level garden paths, guided visits, and a tea room make it an easy and interesting outing into history.
A short drive away, Silverstone is the country's best-known motor-racing circuit, with an interactive museum telling the story of British motor sport. Level galleries, exhibits, and a café make it an easy and interesting day out, even on non-race days.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“Everyone here has made the same decision to share the warmth of independent living, where we are part of a community but still with our own front door key so we can keep our own company.”
“The service charge works out really well, it makes your pension go further. More days out, maybe more holidays - our bills are so much less!”
