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.
Hassocks is a village in West Sussex, just north of the South Downs and a few miles from Brighton. With good shops, cafés, and community facilities, direct rail and road links, and open downland on the doorstep, it is a fine place to enjoy an active and relaxed retirement.
Beyond the village, the South Downs National Park rises immediately to the south. Brighton and the coast are a short train ride away, while the market town of Lewes and the wider Sussex countryside are within easy reach.
Local highlights
Adastra Park, just off Keymer Road, is the village's central green space, with level, well-kept paths, open lawns, and plenty of benches. A formal Garden of Remembrance, a bowling green, and tennis courts make it a pleasant spot for a gentle stroll or sociable, low-impact exercise.
A short way onto the Downs, the Jack and Jill windmills stand side by side above the village, a well-known local landmark. Open on some days to visitors, they offer a gentle uphill walk or drive, with wide views over the Weald and the surrounding countryside.
The South Downs Way and a network of paths begin on the edge of the village, offering open walks with sweeping views. Gentler, level sections and the nearby Butcher's Wood, a bluebell woodland, make it easy to enjoy the countryside at your own pace.
A short train ride away, Brighton offers its seafront, the Royal Pavilion, and the independent shops of the Lanes. While nearby Lewes has a castle and antique shops. Both make easy, characterful days out with plenty to see at a gentle pace.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“The other Residents have all been very kind, friendly and helpful. The Lodge Manager likewise has done her level best to welcome, support and assist us to feel at home, as she does for all Residents.”
“After moving into Stanley Lodge, the transformation was clear. Dad's a different person now, more engaged, more social and more at ease. Life at Churchill Living has given him a renewed sense of purpose and community.”
