The buzzing high street is within easy distance of our retirement properties in Great Dunmow, offering an eclectic range of independent retailers, cafes and restaurants. The retirement community is situated less than six miles from the National Trust managed Hatfield Forest and is also close to historic Chelmsford and Saffron Walden.  

The ancient market town of Great Dunmow is rich in character and steeped in history – including the Dunmow Flitch Trials which are held every four years on a leap year. This tradition is mentioned in the 14th century Canterbury Tales, which awards a flitch of bacon to couple who can prove the happiness of their marriage. 

This development’s desirable location is perfect for retirement living. It is close, often walking distance, to a range of shops, traditional pubs serving good food, cafes and restaurants – the town offers tapas, Indian and Thai as well as contemporary British. You’ll also be close to essentials like a post office and pharmacy and the town has a library, community centres and a gym, fitness centre and swimming pool. 

Great Dunmow offers plenty of things to do from the extraordinary Talliston House & Gardens, The Forgotten Gardens of Easton Lodge and the pretty village of Thaxted which has a windmill as well as an annual Morris Dancing Festival.  

The ancient Hatfield Forest is the ideal spot for walks, cycling and outdoor pursuits, while Chelmsford and Saffron Walden can be reached by car in under half an hour.  

For trips further afield Stansted Airport is conveniently situated within 15 minutes’ drive of the development.  

The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 999 years from and including 26/09/2022
