Located in the historic town of Braintree, with picturesque countryside and beautiful villages, is Polly's Field Village, a community retirement village which opened in 2022.

Polly's Field Village has 99 apartments, all set in a stunning six acre site with a view of glorious farmland and Bocking Windmill, which was originally built in 1721. 

Our apartments have been designed to help you to remain independent but with the added knowledge that you have 24 hour support from our caring, professional and helpful staff, who can provide support with helping to wash, dress, medication, getting out of bed, as well as help with toileting and personal hygiene. We also provide help with things like laundry, cleaning, housework and shopping, all in the comfort of your own home.

Each apartment has its own front door, so you can come and go freely as you would in your own home, and we offer 39 one bedroom and 60 two bedroom apartments so that you can live together as a couple.

In your apartment you'll find a stylish kitchen with high quality worktops and units, offering you a level of independence that gives you the freedom to start the day at your own pace, or provide food and drinks to visiting friends and family.

Our apartments come unfurnished to allow you to bring your own favourite pieces of furniture and personal items to make it feel like home. They are all fitted with a wet room and either a balcony or patio so you can enjoy a breath of fresh air or while away the hours in the sunshine.

Polly's Field Village has been designed to allow our residents to make the most of later life and remain independent, and we offer a variety of activities and have a number of excellent facilities for you to enjoy including:

• a gym where you can stay fit and healthy
