Stane House

In the heart of the town, you’ll find Stane House. The development is designed with the over 60s in mind and is built to high standards. It’s the ideal place to live life well. Stane House has a dedicated House Manager on site during the day to take care of things and make you feel at home. For your peace of mind, the development has camera door entry and 24-hour emergency call systems, should you require assistance.

The Homeowners' lounge and well maintained gardens provide a great space to socialise with friends and family. If your guests have travelled from afar, they can extend their stay by booking into the development Guest Suite (for additional fee per night - subject to availability) which has an en-suite shower room, tea and coffee making facilities and a TV.

Whatever you love doing in life, Stane House is ideally situated to help you take full advantage of this delightful town and the surrounding area. A short stroll takes you to the main shopping area. It boasts one of the few remaining
UK high streets to only have independent retailers. For the weekly groceries, choose the nearby Co-op or the Tesco supermarket on the edge of town. Great Dunmow has lots of eateries to tempt the tastebuds – from contemporary British cuisine to tapas, Indian to Thai. There are pubs and cafés too.
There are plenty of green spaces to enjoy. You can take a leisurely walk to the picturesque Doctors’ Pond. Alternatively, meander along the banks of the River Chelmer or follow Flitch Way into the wonderful Essex countryside. If you enjoy keeping fit, the town has a leisure centre with a gym and a pool.

Social Lifestyle

One of the greatest benefits of being a McCarthy Stone homeowner is becoming part of a community of remarkable individuals, who embody a ‘life, well lived’. It’s about friendship, laughter and love. New adventures. Making memories. And making the most of the here and now.

But don’t take our word for it, see what our homeowners have to say:

“Our social calendar is busier than ever, with something for all tastes and abilities.”

“Our hectic social calendar continues to expand in all directions, giving everyone an opportunity to take part in something they enjoy. For instance, we devoted our weekly coffee morning to Marie Curie and thoroughly enjoyed raising the princely sum of £313.99.”

“Our House Manager organised a ‘Hoy’ Bingo session this week. I don’t usually attend many social events but have decided to come out of my shell a bit more. I attended this and would like to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was great fun, entertaining and extremely well organised. I’m now looking forward to attending more social events here.”

Landscaped Gardens

One of the main social hubs of Stane House is the large patio area in the communal garden. This space is enjoyed by many of the homeowners throughout the year. Best of all, Your McCarthy Stone take care of all the maintenance, leaving you free to relax and enjoy the beautiful gardens blossom and bloom throughout the seasons.
