A thriving retirement village in Essex that offers fully inclusive rented retirement apartments to the independently minded. With just 30 days notice, all housekeeping, meals, maintenance & bills paid, this style of rented retirement living is unique to the Hawthorns and offers flexibility in your retirement years. Our Essex retirement village is located close to areas of superb Essex countryside and coastal towns such as Maldon. The Hawthorns Braintree enjoys excellent relations with the local community & we regularly welcome community groups into our retirement home. We visit Essex sites of interest with day trips in our mini-bus. We also enjoy the finer things in life such as wine & fresh seasonal, local produce in our huge restaurant.
