Two miles away, Broadstairs is known for Viking Bay, a sandy, sheltered beach framed by a harbour and clifftop gardens. Its old town of independent shops, tea rooms, and its Charles Dickens connection makes for an easy, characterful day beside the sea.

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.
Westwood Cross sits on the edge of Broadstairs, a quintessentially English town on the Kent coast. A popular shopping centre with high street stores, restaurants, a cinema, and a bingo hall is close by, while the sandy bays of Broadstairs lie just two miles away, making it a lively place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the shopping centre, the seaside towns of Broadstairs, Margate, and Ramsgate are all close by, each with sandy beaches, harbours, and seafront walks. The wider Isle of Thanet coast and its chalk bays offer plenty of scope for gentle days beside the sea.
Local highlights
Westwood Cross is Thanet's main shopping and leisure hub, with well-known stores, cafés, and casual dining across an open, pedestrianised centre. Free parking, step-free access, and level walking make everyday shopping and browsing straightforward and relaxed.
For a low-key outing, Westwood Cross has a multi-screen Vue cinema with recliner seating, along with bingo and bowling nearby. All are easy to reach, sociable, and popular with a broad range of ages for a comfortable afternoon or evening out.
A short distance along the coast, Kingsgate and Botany Bay are among Thanet's loveliest chalk-cliff beaches, with golden sand and rock arches. Clifftop paths and open sea views make for an easy, scenic stroll on a fine day.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“Churchill’s Sales Executive Lorraine was brilliant throughout the process and let me take my time with no pressure. I used the Home Exchange service to smooth things along, and I was one of the first to move in as soon as the new apartments were ready.”
“When my son suggested a move to Invicta Lodge I could see the benefits of having other people around and a bit of company, as I had been living alone since my wife died. In fact, my former wife Hazel has bought an apartment here too so it’s nice seeing a familiar face, fortunately we still get on very well!”
