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.
Set on the edge of the New Forest, the historic market town of Ringwood combines centuries of character with the everyday convenience of a compact, walkable centre. With independent shops, riverside gardens, and traditional cafés all close by, it is an ideal place to enjoy an active and relaxed retirement.
Beyond the town itself, miles of open New Forest heath and woodland lie right on the doorstep, while the sandy beaches of Bournemouth and the Jurassic Coast are within easy reach. Excellent road links to Southampton, Salisbury, and London make visiting family, or welcoming them, straightforward.
Local highlights
Ringwood's heart is its historic market town centre, granted its charter in 1226. The High Street and Market Place blend Georgian buildings, independent shops, and traditional pubs, while the Wednesday street market brings stalls of fresh produce, plants, and homewares within easy strolling distance.
For a gentle outing, the River Avon and Jubilee Gardens are just a level walk from the Market Place. A three-arched stone bridge, a flowing millstream, and well-kept flowerbeds make a restful spot for a quiet sit, a picnic, or a riverside stroll.
The Furlong is Ringwood's shopping courtyard, set around a leafy, pedestrian-friendly square with seating and a bronze sculpture of a New Forest pony and foal. Here you will find well-known high street names, independent boutiques, and cafés, all within an easy, compact, traffic-free layout.
One of the town's best-known names, Ringwood Brewery offers relaxed, roughly 90-minute tours exploring its brewing heritage, followed by tastings of traditional ales such as Forty Niner and Old Thumper. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and an unhurried pace make it a sociable outing, easily combined with lunch in town.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“My friend had moved here and I used to come and visit her quite a lot. I got to like the way it was run and the whole feel of the place. I didn't think I'd be able to move, but the rental option made it possible and it's worked out really well!”
“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.”
