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.
Kingswinford is a friendly town in the West Midlands, well placed for everyday amenities including a bank and post office close by. Good bus links connect it to Dudley, Stourbridge, and beyond, while parks, gardens, and country estates nearby make it a comfortable place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the countryside of the Staffordshire border and estates such as Himley Hall are a short drive away, while the shops and leisure of Merry Hill are nearby. Birmingham and the wider Black Country are also within easy reach for days out.
Local highlights
Just two miles away, Ashwood Nurseries is a renowned garden centre and plant nursery, known for its extensive range and beautiful display gardens. A tea room, gift shop, and year-round calendar of events make it an easy and enjoyable outing for keen and casual gardeners alike.
A short drive away, the Black Country Living Museum brings the region's industrial past to life across a large open-air site of rebuilt cottages, shops, and workshops. Costumed characters, trams, and a café make it an interesting day out into local history.
King George VI Park, a short stroll from the High Street, is a pleasant, manageable green space with a model boat lake at its heart. Level paths, open lawns, and benches make it an easy place for a walk, feeding the ducks, or a quiet sit by the water.
A short drive away, Himley Hall and Park offers a grand Georgian mansion set in landscaped parkland with lakes and open lawns. Level paths, a café, and space to stroll make it an easy and scenic place to spend a relaxed afternoon outdoors.
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 have been very happy since moving to Lewis Carroll Lodge. There are a lot of activities every week and I have made many friends. Fay and I have a great time going to the theatre, out for lunch or sometimes just wandering round the town. I have never had such a busy social life.”
