Just minutes away, York is one of England's finest historic cities, with its great Minster, medieval walls, and the narrow, characterful lanes of the Shambles. Level city streets, open-top tours, and countless cafés make it an easy and endlessly interesting day out.
Under Construction
We are delighted to introduce Tannery Lodge, a brand-new collection of 45 one and two bedroom retirement apartments, alongside an exclusive selection of two bedroom cottages, coming soon to the desirable village of Wigginton.
Wigginton is a popular and well-connected village, offering a range of everyday amenities including local shops, pubs, health and leisure facilities. The village adjoins Haxby, where residents can enjoy further conveniences such as supermarkets, a Post Office and a variety of independent shops and businesses.

The nearby A1237 York Ring Road offers excellent access to the surrounding area and wider road network, making Tannery Lodge ideally placed for those looking to enjoy an active and independent retirement lifestyle while remaining connected to family, friends and local amenities.

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.
Wigginton is a village on the edge of the City of York, a short drive or bus ride from the centre. Sitting on the border with the town of Haxby, with a doctors' surgery, shops, and pubs close by, it is a comfortable place to enjoy retirement with York on the doorstep.
Beyond the village, the level, open Vale of York countryside offers easy walking, while the historic city of York, with its Minster, walls, and museums, is only minutes away. The Yorkshire Dales, the Moors, and the coast are within easy reach for wider days out.
Local highlights
Wigginton and neighbouring Haxby together offer a complete mix of everyday services, from a convenience store and post office to farm shops, a garden centre, and traditional pubs. Level ground and good bus links make daily errands and a sociable outing easy.
In the city, the Museum Gardens offer level, botanical parkland beside the River Ouse, with abbey ruins and mature trees. Benches, a café, and gentle riverside paths make it an easy and restful place for a stroll during a day in York.
A short drive away, the grand estate of Castle Howard offers a stately mansion set in vast gardens, lakes, and parkland. Level garden paths, a courtyard café, and open views make it an easy and rewarding day out into Yorkshire's countryside.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“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.”
“I’m settling in well and getting to know my new neighbours, who are all very friendly and welcoming. One great thing about my new apartment is that I spend less time doing household chores and more time having fun. My family are glad I’ve made the move, as they know I’m safe and happy here. Churchill’s downsizing advisers and our Sales Executive Hilary were such a great help with the move, I couldn’t have done it without them!”
