Hargrave House is an original Listed building in three acres dating back to the late 1700s with a purpose-built addition. The care home has 58 ensuite bedrooms, situated 10 minutes from junction 8 off the M11.

It is situated in the charming picturesque village of Stansted Mountfitchet in Essex which dates back to Saxon times. Although the building is large and imposing, it has been structured into two wings, The Hargrave Wing housed by the original building and the Alice Grace wing added later in the 1990’s yet still sympathetic and in keeping with the magnificent original. The Alice Grace wing has been designed specifically to cater for those requiring dementia care.

It is not easy to describe the wealth of features contained in Hargrave House, so the only way to appreciate the building is by a visit. Suffice it to say that the high ceilings and wood paneling to the halls and stairs were attractive enough to be featured in the ‘Lovejoy’ antiques television series a few years ago.

Within the main building is the old hall lounge, leading to three separate lounges, the dining rooms and a splendid conservatory. There is ease of access throughout the building which is served by two modern passenger lifts and the Manager’s office is situated on the ground floor immediately by the entrance hall, centrally sited between the two wings.
