Churchill are delighted to announce that we have acquired a site in the popular seaside town of Rustington, for a proposed collection of one and two-bedroom retirement apartments.
Rustington, centrally situated on the West Sussex Coast almost midway between the cathedral city of Chichester and Brighton, one of the most well-known seaside resorts in England, is ideally placed for exploring the district. The whole of West Sussex and part of East Sussex (including Brighton), Surrey and Hampshire are within twenty-five miles radius of the Village.
Today, Rustington is a very busy place. It has a superb main shopping centre with a great variety of shops, restaurants, professional offices, with the added bonus of extensive free car parking. Lawned areas, flower planters and paved walkways provide a pleasant environment for both residents and visitors. Three other smaller shopping areas with a variety of shops and food outlets, also serve the eastern, western and northern parts of Rustington.
We are currently awaiting planning, register your interest today for updates on this exciting new development.

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.
Rustington is a charming coastal village in West Sussex, a short way from the South Downs National Park and with easy access to the shore. The thriving village centre is home to a number of shops, cafés, and restaurants, along with a gently sloping seafront, making it a comfortable place to enjoy retirement by the sea.
Beyond the village, the West Sussex coast stretches toward Littlehampton and Worthing, while the South Downs rise just inland. Chichester, Arundel and Brighton are within easy reach by road or rail for wider days out.
Local highlights
Rustington's beautiful seafront offers one of the area's most relaxing coastal strolls, quieter than nearby resorts. Long, mostly level stretches, benches, and wide views along the coast make it an easy place for an unhurried walk, a sit, or to simply enjoy the sea air.
Rustington's village centre is valued for its friendly mix of independent traders and everyday shops, from bakers and butchers to cafés and a supermarket. Level and walkable, it is an easy and sociable place to run errands and pause for a coffee close by.
Nearby Mewsbrook Park offers open lawns, a boating lake, and a café, linked to Littlehampton's seafront by a level promenade. Gentle paths and green space make it an easy and pleasant place for a stroll or a relaxed afternoon by the water.
A short drive away, Highdown Gardens near Worthing offers chalk gardens laid out on the slopes of the Downs, with rare plants and sea views. Level main paths, benches, and a tea room make it an easy and rewarding place for a gentle wander.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“Since moving to Clementine Lodge mum’s been a different person, she’s so much more happy and relaxed! Her move was a big decision and a big change for all of us, and it’s a huge weight off my mind to know that she’s here and comfortably settled into her new apartment. It’s great to see her making new friends and enjoying a nice, peaceful time without any worry or stress.”
“I have lived in Totnes for 17 years,so it was ideal when Churchill started to build Elmhirst Lodge. The position is ideal, right in the middle of town with everything close at hand. I just really feel at home in my new apartment, the energy is good and I have a balcony overlooking the gardens which is great for sitting in the sun!”
