Colchester, Essex
A grand old house, run like a family home
Abberton Manor is a magnificent Queen Anne manor house set in landscaped gardens and woodland, three miles south of Colchester, with beautiful views over the Roman River valley.
Welcome
Care that feels like being at home, because it is one
Abberton Manor has cared for people from Colchester and the surrounding villages for many years. The house keeps its character: high ceilings, deep window seats, log fires in winter and doors that open straight onto the lawn in summer.
From handover, the home is owned and operated by CDS Care Homes Ltd. Our promise is simple: keep the team and the warmth that make this home what it is, and invest steadily in the building, the food and the daily programme.
What matters to us
Four things we will never compromise on
Person-led care
Care plans written with residents and families, never about them. Nothing about me, without me.
Skilled nursing
Qualified nurses and carers on site around the clock, with GP, district nurse and specialist support.
Gardens and views
Landscaped grounds and woodland walks looking out over the Roman River valley.
A full day, every day
Music, gardening, baking, outings and quiet corners for a book. Life continues here.
