Your Questions, Answered

Yes, you can smoke in your apartment but, in order to comply with the current regulations and for the comfort of the other Residents, not in any of the internal communal areas.

As with most retirement developments, car ownership declines soon after many Residents move in. Often two car families reduce to one car and, with close proximity to shops and amenities, car ownership is less necessary. Unreserved marked parking bays for Residents are provided at all of our Lodges. All of our car parks are free for Residents.

Of course. Your apartment is your home and you can have whomever you like to come and stay.

Yes, but on some developments you would have to cover the cost of installation yourself, and all such installations will be connected to a communal dish. The majority of developments are Sky enabled.

All our Lodges have landscaped gardens that are easily accessible for all of our Residents. Our management company constantly maintains the gardens to ensure they are always looking their best.

Some of our Lodges have a fitted washer/dryer as standard, whilst in others you’ll find provision for a washer/dryer enabling you to bring your own.

Yes. Just as in any non-retirement apartment block you will have keys to the block itself and keys to your own apartment.

The only person who has a set of keys is the Lodge Manager so that they can get into your apartment in an emergency.

We ensure all communal areas are kept clean and tidy, which is covered by your service charge. We do not provide cleaning for your personal apartment but our Lodge Manager will be able to help you find suitable cleaners if you desire.

Yes. Every Lodge has a Guest Suite that Residents can book for family and friends. This allows many Residents to choose a one-bedroom apartment while still having extra space for visitors. Residents are also welcome to have guests stay in their own apartment and can book Guest Suites at Churchill Lodges across the UK.

All of our developments have a range of communal facilities:

- Communal grounds provide a welcome retreat for you and your friends.
- The Residents' Lounge provides the perfect venue for entertaining and socialising.
- A Guest Suite is provided for family and friends to book and stay over when visiting.
- A lift to all floors comes as standard - so heavy shopping isn't a chore.
- A free car park on every development means that spaces are available for Residents on a first come, first served basis

Well behaved dogs, cats or caged birds are welcome in all our apartments. However, to ensure the privacy and comfort of other Residents, we simply ask that prior permission is obtained in writing from the Lodge Manager.
