The beautifully landscaped gardens provide a wonderful environment in which to relax, socialise and enjoy the changing seasons amongst a variety of flowers, shrubs and mature trees.

Ideally positioned just moments from a popular local shopping parade, residents have a wealth of everyday conveniences right on their doorstep, including a Tesco store, butcher, greengrocer, Post Office, newsagent, florist and hairdresser. A regular bus service stops directly opposite the development, providing easy access to Billericay, Wickford, Basildon and Chelmsford.

Designed to offer the perfect balance of independence, comfort and peace of mind, the development benefits from an on-site House Manager available Monday to Friday, together with emergency pull-cord alarm systems linked to a 24-hour response service. These features provide reassurance for both residents and their families.
