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.
Salisbury is a historic cathedral city in Wiltshire, where medieval streets, a busy charter market, and riverside meadows sit beneath the tallest spire in England. With arts venues, independent shops, and everyday amenities close by, it offers the perfect mix of city and countryside life for retirement.
Beyond the city, the water meadows and the River Avon offer gentle walks with the famous view toward the cathedral, while the countryside of Wiltshire, including Stonehenge, is close by. Good road and rail links make Southampton, Bath, and London easy to reach for days out.
Local highlights
A short, level walk from the centre, Fisherton Mill is the largest independent art gallery in Wiltshire, set in a restored Victorian grain mill. Artwork, jewellery, and ceramics to browse, plus a well-regarded café with homemade cakes, make it a relaxed place to spend a couple of hours.
Salisbury's charter market, held twice a week in the historic Market Square, dates back centuries. Stalls of fresh produce, plants, and crafts, along with the nearby Old George Mall and Cross Keys Arcade, make for a sociable morning of shopping and browsing in the city centre.
The Town Path across the water meadows leads to the classic view of the cathedral painted by Constable, on level ground beside the Avon. A little further out, the earthworks of Old Sarum offer open views and gentle walks over the city's ancient origins.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I have been very happy since moving to Lewis Carroll Lodge. There are a lot of activities every week and I have made many friends. Fay and I have a great time going to the theatre, out for lunch or sometimes just wandering round the town. I have never had such a busy social life.”
“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.”
