Retirement properties in Christchurch
We are delighted to announce that we have acquired this site for a proposed collection of one and two bedroom retirement apartments in the historic, harbourside town of Christchurch. Located on the site of the former gas holders on Bridge Street, the development is centrally located for the town’s High Street shops, charming cafes and regular markets.
Currently at the planning stage, it is anticipated that construction will start in late 2023 with the first apartments being available for occupation in mid-2025.
If you are looking to move sooner, why not visit our nearby selling developments in Highcliffe, Lymington or Hythe.

Service charges explained…
We understand that the ongoing cost of running your new apartment is an important factor to consider when deciding to purchase a Churchill apartment, here’s some key Service Charge benefits:
- Downsizing from an average 3 bedroom house to a retirement apartment could save an average of approximately £2,300* per year
- A potential saving of around 15% on bills.
- Renewable technologies to supply hot water and heating to reduce electricity bills.
- We also insulate our developments to a very high standard.
- The need to turn the heating on is kept to a minimum.
- Owners are consulted annually
- We always aim to keep the cost as low as possible.
“Living in a Churchill Apartment is absolutely marvellous. The whole building is so nice and warm all the time that we’ve hardly had to use the heating inside our apartment. When we do turn it up a notch or two it’s nice to know we don’t have to worry about the cost or the environmental impact, as it’s all so energy efficient and covered within our annual service charge.”
John and Doreen Pitt, Lewis Carroll Lodge, Cheltenham
