About Luff Mews and Selhurst Court

Luff Mews and Selhurt Court are a housing scheme of eight flats and 11 bungalows located close to our residential care home. All flats and bungalows are one bedroom, except for one bungalow which has two bedrooms.

Luff Mews Flats

Luff Mews consists of four ground floor and four first floor flats. Each flat has easy access via low threshold extra wide doors. The first-floor flats can be easily accessed by stairs or lift. Each ground floor flat has an external power point by the front door for mobility vehicles if required. For the first-floor flats, there is an area nearby where mobility vehicles can be charged and stored for an annual fee.

Each of the 8 flats are different in design internally, but all offer the same facilities. From the front door the flats comprise of a hallway leading to a good size fitted kitchen. We do supply a hob and oven in the flats, and there is space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer that tenants supply if required.

Each flat has a large wet room with electric shower, fitted shower seat, toilet and handbasin. The flats have one good sized bedroom, some with a fitted cupboard, and all of the flats have a good-sized lounge or lounge/diner.

The outlook from each flat varies depending on where it is situated, but each front door overlooks a communal green area with plants and trees. This is tended by contract gardeners all year round.

There is no designated parking for flat tenants. Any spaces are on a first come first served basis.

Selhurst Court Bungalows

Each bungalow has easy access by slope to the low threshold front door. This leads into a small vestibule for coats, shoes etc and then into the spacious lounge area which overlooks a communal courtyard. The courtyard has plants, trees, and benches for the housing tenants to sit and contemplate or have a chinwag with family, friends, or other tenants.

At the front of each bungalow there is a small flower bed and tenants are encouraged to plant and nurture their own little area as they wish. Each bungalow has a water butt and there are watering facilities in the courtyard.

The fitted kitchen overlooks the rear of the property where there is a small patio area designated for each bungalow and a rotary washing line for your own use. We do not supply white goods in the bungalows, but there is space for a washing machine, cooker and fridge/freezer.

The bedroom overlooks the communal green at the rear of the property. This area is tended by our contracted gardeners and is well kept all year around.

Each bungalow has a good-sized wet room which has an electric shower and a fitted seat for comfort and convenience. This room also contains a handbasin and high-rise toilet. The airing cupboard is also located in this room.

There is an area nearby where mobility vehicles can be charged and stored for an annual fee.

There is no designated parking for bungalow tenants. Any spaces are on a first come first served basis.

Out and about in the local area

Luff Housing is situated on the cusp of Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze. We are closest to Frinton-on-Sea which has a reputation as an exclusive resort and retains an atmosphere of the 1920s and 30s. Tree-lined avenues sweep down to the elegant esplanade and cliff-top greensward, with its colourful Victorian-style beach huts. The sandy beach, just a mile away, is quiet and secluded.

The sea front is still lined by many Victorian style beach huts, which is reminiscent of the days when Frinton-on-Sea was the favourite retreat for the aristocracy and even royalty. We are just across the road from a good-sized shopping centre which has food shops, a chemist, post office etc, so no need to travel for your everyday necessities.

There are several local churches of different denominations which are linked to the Luff community, and there are doctors and dentists nearby. The nearest hospital is six miles away. We also benefit from being under a mile from the nearest train station.

Community and a little extra support

Attached to the Mews is our very large and well-equipped communal lounge. This is used by housing tenants for activities, some of which are arranged by our housing support worker, however lots of our tenants meet up regularly for games, coffee mornings, bible study and just general get togethers – nobody need be lonely here! At the rear of the communal lounge is another large green area where there are wall fitted washing lines for your use.

For those with extra needs there are care agencies locally who will provide that support but these are arranged independently by the tenants.

Our housing support worker meets regularly with the housing tenants and will always advise and assist with information where possible to enable you to access the help you may require.

Housekeepers and Maintenance staff look after the communal areas of Luff Mews flats.

Just next door is Luff House care home, a residential care home also run by Pilgrims’ Friend Society, which offers the opportunity for spouses to remain close to each other, even though their needs may differ considerably. And if the time comes for you to need 24-hour care, moving into Luff House makes such a significant life change simple and stress-free.

Those living in housing are welcome to join morning devotions in the care home during the week, and for a regular Sunday afternoon service. They are also welcome to volunteer in the care home, whether by using a skill or talent to support an activity or group, or by befriending a particular resident.
