Seaford's long seafront promenade runs beside a wide shingle beach, offering level, easy walking with open views across the Channel. Benches, sea air, and the Martello tower at the eastern end make it a restful place for a stroll or a sit by the water.
Planning Granted
Churchill are delighted to announce that we’ve received planning approval for a proposed collection of one and two-bedroom retirement apartments in the popular market town of Seaford. Located at the foot of the South Downs National Park. It lies approximately 10 miles east of Brighton and about 50 miles south of London.
The town is renowned for its stunning natural scenery, with picturesque chalk cliffs, including the famous Seven Sisters cliffs, forming a prominent feature of the coastline. These cliffs offer breath-taking views of the English Channel. Seaford features landmarks such as the Martello Tower and provides a peaceful coastal retreat.

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.
Seaford is a quaint market town on the Sussex coast, with picturesque streets and historic buildings dating back to Saxon times. An attractive high street of shops and cafés, a long promenade, and open landscapes close by make it a comfortable and characterful place to enjoy retirement by the sea.
Beyond the town, the chalk cliffs of Seaford Head and the Seven Sisters rise to the east, with the South Downs National Park just inland. Brighton, Lewes, and Eastbourne are a short train or bus ride away for shopping, culture, and wider days out.
Local highlights
Seaford Head Nature Reserve, on the eastern edge of town, offers open downland walks with the famous view of the Seven Sisters cliffs across the Cuckmere. Gentler, level sections near the golf course make it easy to enjoy the scenery and sea air at your own pace.
Seaford's compact town centre, a few minutes from the seafront, brings together everyday shops, cafés, and services within an easy, level walk. Friendly and manageable, it is a pleasant place to run errands, browse, and stop for a coffee or light lunch.
A short drive away, the Cuckmere Valley and the pretty village of Alfriston offer gentle riverside walks, tea rooms, and historic buildings. Level meadow paths and open countryside make it an easy and scenic outing into the heart of the South Downs.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I was very pleased to hear that pets are allowed at the Lodge, as there’s no way I would have moved without Milo. He loves it here too, and we’re in the ideal location for walks in the park or along the high street. He’s 13 years old so we don’t go too far these days to save his legs – and mine! It’s great to be right in the heart of town close to everything we need.”
“I’ve been very busy getting to know everyone and getting involved in the local community. I’m on the Highcliffe in Bloom committee, I help run an after school club with the local church, and I’m helping the local Rotary Club. I enjoy a very busy lifestyle and it’s been wonderful making new friends here at Rothesay Lodge and in my new neighbourhood in general.”
