How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
Now is the time to take stock and think about how much time and money you have spent over the past year on house maintenance. If the answer is far too much, then a lifestyle with fewer maintenance worries and a service charge that’s easy to budget for could be the answer to saving money and enjoying more of your time on the things you love.
There are many misconceptions about service charges and many of our Owners are pleasantly surprised that the service charges for their apartment frequently work out less than what they were paying in comparable costs on their previous property.
Our Service Charge typically covers the cost of providing a Lodge Manager, security systems and call monitoring, external maintenance of the building and grounds, building insurance, heating, lighting and provision of all of the furnishings for the Owners’ Lounge and communal areas – all essential ingredients of the independent lifestyle our developments provide.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Owners to consider, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
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.

Testimonials
Marion Drescher
"I’d say the best thing about living here is the location. My apartment itself is nice and airy and spacious, but it’s all about location, location, location! I chose this particular Lodge as I was downsizing and needed an apartment in the centre of town. This is ideal!"
Derek Hunter
"Don't delay, you will find it difficult to find somewhere which offers all the advantages of size, quality and charming location. The location of the Development in the centre of Totnes is less than 50m from the High Street and its selection of small individual shops is a great incentive"
Petra Kerridge
"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!"
Susan Cooper
"I chose Churchill because I needed to downsize and be released of the worry of owning a house. Also as recently widowed, I wanted to be closer to my daughter but still independent. I have two sister in laws living in Churchill apartments so I knew how comfortable and content they were which helped me make my decision to move."
With two separate and distinctive coastlines (north and south), two wild and beautiful moorlands (Exmoor and Dartmoor), and the delightful, historic cities of Exeter and Plymouth, Devon has a lot more to it than meets the eye, and is one of the most popular retirement spots in the country.
