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.
Portishead is a coastal town in North Somerset, set in the Gordano Valley with wooded hills on one side and views across the Bristol Channel on the other. A Victorian high street of independent shops and a modern marina give it plenty of character, making it an appealing place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the open water of the Bristol Channel and the Somerset countryside are close at hand, with coastal paths and viewpoints looking across to Wales. Good links via the M5 put Bristol little more than ten miles away for shopping, culture, and wider days out.
Local highlights
The Lake Grounds sit beside the Bristol Channel, with open parkland, a boating lake, and a level promenade. It is one of the town's nicest places for a relaxed stroll, with benches, cafés, and an open-air swimming pool nearby for a sociable day beside the water.
Portishead Quays Marina is a modern waterside quarter with moorings, a public art trail, and a choice of restaurants and cafés. Level walkways around the water make it an easy place to wander, watch the boats, and pause for lunch with views over the harbour.
Battery Point, at the northern tip of the town, is a small headland with a lighthouse and open views over the Channel to the two Severn bridges and the Welsh coast. Level paths and benches make it a fine spot for fresh air and a quiet sit.
A short drive away, the National Trust's Tyntesfield is a Victorian country estate with ornate gardens, woodland walks, and a grand chapel. Garden paths, a tearoom, and plenty of seating make it an easy and rewarding outing into Victorian history.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“When moving to Bond Lodge I received fantastic support from Churchill throughout the moving process, especially from my specialist downsizing adviser Karen. I brought 104 boxes with me, and thanks to her help they were all unpacked in a day!”
“It’s pretty big for a one bedroom apartment, with a huge bedroom which doubles as a study. I have masses of storage space too, a big kitchen and a big bathroom. My apartment faces southwest over our glorious garden, and there is natural light at both ends of my hallway. There’s also a staircase opposite my front door, which is a big plus, so I can take the stairs and rarely need to use the lift and hallways.”
