Dunmow Road, Great Easton

Exclusively for residents aged 55 and over, Moat Park offers a welcoming and well-balanced community, where like-minded individuals enjoy both independence and companionship. Many residents form lasting friendships, creating a supportive and sociable environment.

This well-presented two bedroom, two bathroom apartment is thoughtfully designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. The property features a modern kitchen complete with integrated appliances, flowing into a bright and inviting living space. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite, while a second bathroom serves guests and the additional bedroom. A particular highlight is the private outdoor patio area and small garden, offering delightful countryside views.

At the heart of the estate is the impressive Club House, featuring a restaurant, bar, and library, along with a communal television lounge where residents gather to watch major events such as royal occasions, sporting fixtures, and regular film nights. Leisure facilities include a snooker table, table tennis, and a bowls lawn, all of which are well used and contribute to the community atmosphere.

If residents fancy a night off from cooking, dining is available in the on-site restaurant on most days, with a popular carvery served every fourth Sunday. A varied social calendar is organised by both residents and the village manager, including quiz nights, themed evenings, and seasonal celebrations. Recent highlights have included an Elvis night, Spanish evening, Easter lunch, and bonnet competition, alongside regular live music. During the summer months, outdoor BBQs are frequently enjoyed. While there is always something to get involved in, residents are equally free to opt for a quieter lifestyle.

For those who enjoy gardening, the development offers allotments and greenhouses, encouraging residents to grow their own produce and flowers. Additional activities include weekly walking groups and coffee mornings, further enhancing the sense of community.

A yearly service charge covers a wide range of benefits, including an on-site staff team (such as the village manager, chef, and gardeners), maintenance and cleaning of all communal areas and facilities, upkeep of the landscaped grounds and access to a guest suite for visiting friends and family. It also includes an emergency response system within each apartment, communal energy costs, building insurance, a reserve fund for future maintenance, and a convenient mini-bus service.

The mini-bus provides weekly trips to local amenities such as Tesco, as well as organised outings to the coast, garden centres, and other attractions. Residents may also take advantage of organised theatre trips to London and visits to places of interest, with details shared directly with the community.

Security and safety are top priority with each apartment being equipped with a secure entry phone system, allowing residents to speak with visitors before granting access, along with key fob entry for added peace of mind.
