Residential Care for the Elderly

Hargrave House is an original Listed building in
three acres dating back to the late 1700s with a
purpose built addition and was acquired by
Scimitar in the Autumn of 2000. The Care Hotel
with 58 ensuite bedrooms, situated 10 minutes
from junction 8 off the M11 was refurbished and
opened by Scimitar in January 2001. It is situated
in the charming picturesque village of Stansted
Mountfitchet 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 by the addition some 10 years ago of a
structure, sympathetic and in keeping with the
magnificent original. 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, with
a licensed bar, 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.

There are no 'visiting hours' as Residents' guests
and families are welcomed at any time.
