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.

Oadby is an attractive market town in Leicestershire, within easy walking distance of a high street and market place offering well-known brands, independent shops, restaurants, and cafés. With everyday amenities close by and green space all around, it is a comfortable place to enjoy retirement.

Beyond the town, country parks and gardens are close at hand, while the city of Leicester, with its shopping, museums, and markets, is only a short journey away. Good roads and bus links also make the wider countryside of Leicestershire easy to explore.

Local highlights

Just a short distance away, the University of Leicester Botanic Garden offers beautifully tended lawns, borders, rock gardens, and glasshouses. Free to enter, with level paths and benches throughout, it is a peaceful place for a gentle stroll or a quiet afternoon among the plants.

Brocks Hill Country Park, less than a mile away, has meadows, woodland, and ponds crossed by gentle paths, with an eco-friendly visitor centre and café. It is a relaxed, easy place for fresh air, birdwatching, or a short walk followed by a pot of tea.

Ellis Park Wildlife Sanctuary, close to the town, is a quiet green space managed for wildlife, with ponds and planting that attract birds and insects. Level paths make it an easy spot for a short, restful walk within reach of the town centre.

A short journey away, Leicester offers the King Richard III visitor centre, the cathedral, and a covered market that is one of the largest in the country. Level city streets and plenty of cafés make it an easy and interesting day out into history and shopping.

What our Residents say

Don't just take it from us

“I love the garden and look forward to the summer when I can sit out on the grass. This was a big attraction when I was looking for a place. It has been lovely to know there are other folk around you and we can meet up for coffee and tea and even hot lunches, courtesy of our wonderful Lodge Manager. We have so much going on – my friends ask me when I am free.”

“I’m settling in well and getting to know my new neighbours, who are all very friendly and welcoming. One great thing about my new apartment is that I spend less time doing household chores and more time having fun. My family are glad I’ve made the move, as they know I’m safe and happy here. Churchill’s downsizing advisers and our Sales Executive Hilary were such a great help with the move, I couldn’t have done it without them!”
