East Grinstead's historic High Street is the town's showpiece, with one of England's longest continuous stretches of timber-framed medieval and Tudor buildings. Independent shops and pubs tucked among the old fronts, along with St Swithun's Church and Sackville College, reward an unhurried, gentle stroll.

Retirement is not just about finding a new home - it’s about discovering a vibrant and fulfilling lifestyle surrounded by like-minded individuals. At Churchill Living, we believe in creating more than just apartments; we foster welcoming communities where friendships flourish and connections thrive.
Located in the charming town of East Grinstead, McIndoe Lodge offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience and community. This private development is designed to bring people together, providing an inviting atmosphere where Owners can enjoy both their independence and a strong sense of belonging. With its prime location near independent shops, restaurants, and transport links, McIndoe Lodge is perfectly positioned for an active lifestyle. The development’s communal areas, including the Owners’ Lounge and Coffee Bar, are ideal for socialising and forming new friendships. Owners regularly come together for coffee mornings, themed evenings and special events, making every day an opportunity to connect and enjoy retirement to the fullest. Our Experience Apartment allows prospective Owners to try the lifestyle first-hand, spending time in one of our beautifully designed apartments and experiencing the warm and welcoming community for themselves.
Beyond the Lodge, the local area offers an abundance of opportunities for exploration and engagement. From visiting Standen, the National Trust’s flagship Arts and Crafts country house, to enjoying the nearby Forest and Worth Ways for scenic walks and cycling, there’s something for everyone. The town’s rich history, with buildings dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, adds to the charm of this sought-after location.

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.
East Grinstead is a historic town in West Sussex, known for one of the longest continuous runs of timber-framed medieval buildings in England. A working high street of independent shops and traditional pubs, close to a station and everyday amenities, makes it a characterful place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the Forest Way and Worth Way footpaths lead out into the surrounding countryside, while Ashdown Forest and the High Weald are close by. Fast trains and good roads make Gatwick, Brighton, and London easy to reach for wider days out.
Local highlights
Chequer Mead is East Grinstead's community arts venue and theatre, valued for its friendly atmosphere, good sightlines, and accessible scale. A varied programme of tribute acts, concerts, talks, and community productions makes it an easy and sociable place for an afternoon or evening out.
On the southern edge of town, the National Trust's Standen is a fine Arts and Crafts property with Morris textiles and a hillside garden overlooking the Weald. Level garden paths, a café, and open views make it an easy and rewarding visit.
The Forest Way, a level, traffic-free path on a former railway line, leads from the town into open countryside toward Ashdown Forest. Nearby, the Bluebell Railway runs restored steam trains, together offering scenic ways to enjoy the surrounding landscape.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I have lived in Totnes for 17 years,so it was ideal when Churchill started to build Elmhirst Lodge. The position is ideal, right in the middle of town with everything close at hand. I just really feel at home in my new apartment, the energy is good and I have a balcony overlooking the gardens which is great for sitting in the sun!”
“Definitely do it. It is the best thing I have done. You have your own front door & can interact with the other residents as much or as little as you like. There is always help at hand if needed.”
