Retirement living UK: Burnham on Crouch in Essex

Are you looking for retirement living in the UK? Burnham on Crouch in Essex truly offers everything you could want and need from a retirement town. At Burnham Waters, we are nestled in this beautiful coastal town, in an idyllic spot.

This week, we take a closer look at our beautiful waterside town and what it offers local residents that wish to retire here.

Retirement living UK: the perfect retirement town

The Telegraph has previously hailed Burnham on Crouch as ‘the most peaceful town in England’, suggesting that in summer, it’s almost like ‘you could be in the South of France’, with the Clayhill and Crouch Ridge vineyards just minutes away.

We couldn’t agree more! It’s not often you’ll find a place that replicates a holiday destination in the heart of the South East of England! We may be bias, but we couldn’t imagine living anywhere else! Burnham offers something for everyone and at the heart of the town, is a very close-knit community.

The location that has it all

The coastal town of Burnham is a hidden gem that only those in Essex really seem to know about. It’s the perfect place to retire and caters for a vast age range. The area is surrounded by historic houses, peaceful countryside and nearby marshland – making it a haven for hikers and birdwatchers. Those who live here agree that a tranquil aura surrounds this quaint corner of the UK.

Alongside the picturesque scenery, Burnham is known for history and nautical heritage; Sailing is a core part of life here. The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club is the main landmark, with many boatyards and nods to the yachting culture around town.

Along the water’s edge and into the town centre, there are many delicious eateries for locals to enjoy, including the Jolly Fryer – voted the best chip shop in Essex, a local institution for 100 years! Burnham on Crouch is of course famous for its oysters. There are a few places to try these, notably, The Oyster Smack Inn! There’s nothing quite like enjoying fresh locally sourced oysters or fish and chips on the seawall, overlooking Wallasea Island.

The perfect fit

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, the beauty of Burnham on Crouch is unparalleled – it’s sometimes hard to believe that London is only an hour away! When it comes to retirement living UK, Burnham on Crouch in Essex delivers a truly picturesque and all-encompassing location.

At Burnham Waters, we have always been careful to integrate ourselves into this eco-led landscape in a way that is considerate and mindful of the beautiful nature and wildlife surrounding our local area. We have collaborated with multiple ecologists to ensure that we are doing as much as we can to ensure all flora and fauna are safe throughout the construction process. This includes replacing any lost hedgerows, planting new trees, the inclusion of a wildflower meadow and ponds as an ecological resource – in fact, these will feature an island to actively protect endangered water voles.

Feedback

Our new home has enhanced our lifestyle enormously. When we first walked into our new home...we felt a great sense of relief - we felt that were embarking on a new life together. We are looking forward to a community atmosphere building here and to be able to head out to the onsite shops, as well as the gym and other facilities. I don’t believe that there is another development anywhere that is capable of meeting the same standards as Burnham Waters.
Mr and Mrs Moon

The team have been so patient and understanding with my elderly parents. Although we haven’t been through a purchase yet we are hoping that will come. Nathan and his team have been accommodating, kind and very knowledgable throughout our dealings with them so far. Highly recommend.
Christina Sheilds

Having been met by Nathan we followed him onto the estate and was introduced to Jamie. His truly inspirational concept for a community development have left us wanting to be part of it. Loved the bungalow and once inside we able to see for ourselves the high spec and generous size rooms. Every aspect appears to have been thought about carefully and we are looking forward to seeing the 3 bedroom show home.
Mrs Moss

The home exceeded expectations. My wife and I appreciate how generous you were with your time with us. It’s a great, well thought out and designed development for the over 55’s.
