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.
An attractive village just south of Cambridge, Great Shelford offers a good range of amenities along Woollards Lane and the high street, from bakers and a delicatessen to a library and medical centre. Named among the best places to live in the UK, it is a welcoming place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the village, the Cambridgeshire countryside offers gentle walks and quiet lanes, with a monthly farmers' market adding to village life. Excellent bus and rail services reach Cambridge in minutes, along with London Liverpool Street, Bishop's Stortford, and Saffron Walden for wider days out.
Local highlights
Wandlebury Country Park, a short drive away in the Gog Magog Hills, offers woodland and grassland walks around the site of an Iron Age hillfort. Level and gently rolling paths, an information point, and plenty of space make it an easy outing into the countryside.
Cambridge, minutes away by train or bus, offers its historic colleges, the University Botanic Garden, and gentle punting on the River Cam. Museums, the Fitzwilliam among them, and riverside walks make the city a rewarding day out with plenty to enjoy at a relaxed pace.
The National Trust's Wimpole Estate, a short drive away, surrounds a grand hall with a working farm and hundreds of acres of parkland laid out by Capability Brown. Gentle paths, a walled garden, and a café make for a restful and rewarding day in the countryside.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“My social life has soared since moving here and I’ve made some very good friends, especially Fran. We have such a good laugh together!”
“I’ve been lucky enough to travel most of the world and what I love about Churchill is that it’s genuinely easy to just lock up and leave, knowing everything will be just as I left it when I return. I am closer to my family, I’ve got the freedom to travel when I want, and a welcoming home to return to. What more could you ask for?”
