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.
In south Northamptonshire, Towcester is a market town with a long history and good everyday shopping, including several supermarkets and a range of smaller shops and restaurants. With amenities and the town centre close at hand, it offers plenty to suit a comfortable and independent retirement.
Beyond the town, the Northamptonshire countryside offers gentle walks and quiet villages, while Silverstone, which hosts the British Grand Prix, lies just a short drive away. Good road links along the A5 and A43 connect Towcester to Northampton, Milton Keynes, and the wider region.
Local highlights
St Lawrence's Church stands at the centre of Towcester, its foundation Norman and thought to overlie earlier Saxon work. A focal point of the town for centuries, it is a restful place to step inside, admire the architecture, and appreciate the town's Roman and medieval past.
Silverstone Circuit, a short drive from Towcester, is the venue for the British Grand Prix and one of motorsport's best-known venues. The Silverstone Interactive Museum tells the story of British racing at an unhurried pace, making a memorable day out for enthusiasts and the curious alike.
A short drive away, the National Trust's Stowe offers one of the country's great landscape gardens, with lakes, temples, and monuments set in rolling parkland. Gentle, level paths and a welcoming café make it an easy and memorable outing in fine weather.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“Churchill’s Sales Executive Lorraine was brilliant throughout the process and let me take my time with no pressure. I used the Home Exchange service to smooth things along, and I was one of the first to move in as soon as the new apartments were ready.”
“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.”
