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.
Paddock Wood is a town in the borough of Royal Tunbridge Wells, situated seven miles from Tunbridge Wells and neighbouring the villages of Matfield and Brenchley. With a leisure centre, community centre, and everyday amenities close by, it makes a convenient place to enjoy retirement with open countryside all around.
Beyond the town, the orchards, hop gardens, and vineyards at the Weald of Kent are close at hand, with pretty villages to explore. Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, and fast trains to London make the wider area easy to reach for shopping and days out.
Local highlights
The neighbouring villages of Matfield and Brenchley are among the prettiest in the Weald, with village greens, duck ponds, old timber-framed cottages, and traditional pubs. Gentle lanes and level greens make them an easy and charming outing into the Kent countryside.
Paddock Wood's centre keeps everyday shops, cafés, and services within an easy, level walk, with the Putlands Sports and Leisure Centre nearby for gentle swimming and activities. Friendly and manageable, it is a practical place for daily life and staying active.
A short drive away, the vineyards of the Kent Weald, among the best known in England, offer relaxed tours and tasting sessions in the beautiful countryside. Shops, cafés, and gentle vineyard walks make for an easy and sociable half-day out among the vines.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I was very pleased to hear that pets are allowed at the Lodge, as there’s no way I would have moved without Milo. He loves it here too, and we’re in the ideal location for walks in the park or along the high street. He’s 13 years old so we don’t go too far these days to save his legs – and mine! It’s great to be right in the heart of town close to everything we need.”
“Churchill’s Sales Executive Lorraine was brilliant throughout the process and let me take my time with no pressure. I used the Home Exchange service to smooth things along, and I was one of the first to move in as soon as the new apartments were ready.”
