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.
Cranleigh, reportedly the largest village in England, offers a lively atmosphere with something for everyone. A bustling high street of independent shops and larger retailers, a weekly market, and a full calendar of community events, set at the foot of the Surrey Hills, make it a fine place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the village, the wooded Surrey Hills and the countryside of the Weald offer gentle walks and pretty lanes, while the Downs Link path follows a former railway close by. Guildford, Horsham, and the wider region are within easy reach for shopping and days out.
Local highlights
Cranleigh's bustling high street brings together independent shops, larger retailers, and cafés, with a weekly market and regular community events. Level and walkable, it is an easy and sociable place to browse, run errands, and pause for a coffee close by.
The Downs Link, a level, traffic-free path along a former railway line, passes close to the village, linking the Surrey Hills with the Sussex coast. Ideal for a gentle walk or a steady cycle, it offers quiet countryside and abundant wildlife along the way.
A short drive away, the National Trust's Winkworth Arboretum offers a hillside of trees, shrubs, and lakes, especially colourful in spring and autumn. Level main paths, benches, and a tea room make it an easy and beautiful place for a gentle wander.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I’ve been very busy getting to know everyone and getting involved in the local community. I’m on the Highcliffe in Bloom committee, I help run an after school club with the local church, and I’m helping the local Rotary Club. I enjoy a very busy lifestyle and it’s been wonderful making new friends here at Rothesay Lodge and in my new neighbourhood in general.”
“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.”
