Horsforth Hall Park is one of the suburb's real assets, a large, well-kept green space with level, accessible paths and plenty of benches. Its Japanese Gardens are a particular favourite, with tranquil planting and seasonal colour, ideal for a peaceful wander or quiet reflection.

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.
Horsforth is a welcoming suburb on the north-western edge of Leeds, with a proud history in stone quarrying and brewing. A lively high street of independent shops, cafés, and traditional pubs, along with green open spaces close by, makes it a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxed retirement.
Beyond the high street, the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal offer level towpath walks nearby, while the countryside of Wharfedale is within easy reach. Leeds city centre, with its shopping, museums, and theatres, is a short train or bus ride away.
Local highlights
Horsforth Village Museum, a friendly, volunteer-run museum by The Green, tells the story of the area's past, from wartime history to its days as one of England's largest villages. Nearby traditional pubs and old cottages make for a characterful stroll.
A short distance away, the ruins of Kirkstall Abbey stand in riverside parkland beside the River Aire, one of the best-preserved medieval Cistercian abbeys in the country. Level paths, open lawns, and a visitor centre make it an interesting day out.
Nearby Golden Acre Park offers lakeside and woodland walks on mostly level, well-surfaced paths, with fine botanical planting and a café. Ducks, mature trees, and open lawns make it a relaxed spot for a gentle stroll close to the suburb.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“It’s pretty big for a one bedroom apartment, with a huge bedroom which doubles as a study. I have masses of storage space too, a big kitchen and a big bathroom. My apartment faces southwest over our glorious garden, and there is natural light at both ends of my hallway. There’s also a staircase opposite my front door, which is a big plus, so I can take the stairs and rarely need to use the lift and hallways.”
“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!”
