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

Taunton retirees enjoy traditional Swedish throwing game at Riverain Lodge welcome party
Apartment Owners at Churchill Retirement Living’s Riverain Lodge in Taunton held a special event on Friday 11th August to welcome new members of the community and try their hand at an unusual throwing game called “Kubb” on the communal lawn.
Geoff follows in his mum’s footsteps by choosing Churchill
Having watched his mum enjoy the retirement living lifestyle 20 years ago at Churchill’s Jubilee Lodge in Seaton, Geoff Sharpe knew it made sense to follow her example by purchasing a new apartment at Riverain Lodge in Taunton.
Testimonials
“From the moment Churchill approached me on the phone initially, I felt very positive in the way things were handled. At the beginning of the buying process I had a nice, charming Sales Executive who was not at all pushy. The Churchill team were very good and efficient throughout the process of buying and moving into my apartment. I felt that I could easily approach them if I had any doubts or queries.”
“Everyone here has made the same decision to share the warmth of independent living, where we are part of a community but still with our own front door key so we can keep our own company. We also enjoy warmth from the friendly Lodge Manager with an ear that listens and helps whenever the need arises. And of course we enjoy the warmth of our new comfy, cosy apartment.
“Personally, I am very happy here. The Lodge Manager and other management staff are very pleasant and helpful. I especially like the feeling of calm and peacefulness as soon as you enter the building.”
