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.
A historic market town in Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds has the county's only cathedral and the ruins of one of medieval Europe's most important monasteries. With Georgian squares, medieval streets, independent shops, and a busy calendar of markets and events, it is a rewarding place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond its historic centre, the town has a good choice of restaurants, gastropubs, and cafés, along with a cultural scene centred on Britain's last surviving regency theatre. For quieter days, parks, woodland, and meadows are close at hand, while good road and rail links make wider Suffolk easy to explore.
Local highlights
Suffolk's only cathedral, St Edmundsbury Cathedral, stands beside the Abbey Gardens and is topped by its Millennium Tower, completed in the Gothic style in 2005. Visitors can look around the interior, sit quietly in the cathedral close, or pause for tea and cake in the café.
The Theatre Royal is Britain's last surviving regency playhouse, now cared for by the National Trust. This restored Georgian auditorium, right in the town, hosts a year-round programme of drama, music, and comedy in intimate, historic surroundings.
A market town for centuries, Bury St Edmunds still holds one of the region's largest traditional markets every Wednesday and Saturday. Stalls fill the streets with fresh produce, plants, clothing, and crafts, making for a sociable morning of browsing in the town centre.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I am so pleased to have saved over £136,000 with the Home for Life Plan. My dream has become reality as my previous house was too big for me to manage. Churchill has been brilliant helping me with the move.”
“Moving to Liberty Lodge is an amazing opportunity to hit life’s reset button and to make daily life more comfortable and manageable in later life. An opportunity to let go of the troublesome maintenance and high costs of running a house and spend more time doing what you want to do rather than what you have to do. We would also like to thank our Solicitors and Britannia. They did an amazing job and all were organised by Gemma at Churchill Living.”
