WE'VE ABOLISHED EXIT FEES - meaning NO unexpected costs!
Don't miss out on our last two remaining apartments at Mortimer Lodge!
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.
Bridgnorth is a thriving market town in Shropshire, split between a High Town and a Low Town on either side of the River Severn. A short walk from the development, the High Street offers independent shops, banks, cafés, and restaurants, making it a characterful and convenient place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the clear waters of the River Severn and the surrounding Shropshire countryside offer gentle walks and quiet spots for anglers and wildlife. Ironbridge, Telford, and the wider county are a short drive away for further days out.
Local highlights
Bridgnorth's High Street, a short, level walk from Innage Lane, is lined with independent butchers, florists, gift shops, and cafés. Beneath the 17th-century Town Hall, the historic Charter Market brings stalls of fresh produce and crafts, especially lively on Saturdays.
The Bridgnorth Cliff Railway, one of the oldest and steepest inland funiculars in the country, links the High Town and Low Town. A short, gentle ride saves the climb between the two, offering views over the Severn Valley from the top, a small local pleasure in itself.
Bridgnorth Castle is known for its leaning ruined tower, tilted further than the Tower of Pisa. Today the surrounding Castle Gardens are a peaceful, park-like spot, with seating, colourful planting, and fine views over the Severn Valley for a restful pause.
From Bridgnorth station, the Severn Valley Railway runs restored steam trains through sixteen miles of countryside to Kidderminster. Comfortable carriages, riverside views, and station tea rooms make it a leisurely, nostalgic way to spend a relaxed day out.
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.”
“Once I'd made the decision to go with Home Exchange everybody helped wherever they could. It was after Christmas I was looking, and I moved in the middle of January. They were just incredible and helped me so much in every way. ”
