Maynell House Retirement Home

Maynell House was originally built for Joseph Sharpe, famous for his toffees. We believe it was named after his two daughters. It later became one of the houses that formed the Felixstowe Ladies College. In 1998 after the sad demise or the college it was purchased by the Pri-Med Group. It was then transformed into the grand and elegant home it is today through the hard work and determination of the Pri-Med team.

All the staff and myself feel privileged to work in such a lovely home, caring for such special people, providing healthy amounts of entertainment, and independence.

Maynell House is on of the newest home to the Pri-Med Group, having been acquired after the break up of the old Felixstowe Girls College. Much time and attention has been lavished on the building to convert it into what is now (along with Foxgrove next door)certainly the finest home in Felixstowe. We have a selection of very comfortable lounge areas, and an Oak paneled dining room (some dating from the sixteenth century.) As in many of our homes we also have a hair salon, where our hairdresser or your own may style your hair.

The gardens are extensive, and well laid out, some of the original planting from the earlier years of its life only now coming to maturity as was often the case with houses of this age. The veranda and terrace along with the summerhouse offer protected south facing views of the garden. The pond at one end of the terrace is now looking lovely, and is also visible from within the building for those wintery days! All in all, set back from the road and shielded by large mature trees and a 100 year old wall, Maynell, like Foxgrove next door is a wonderful safe retreat, with excellent opportunities for meeting new friends or entertaining old ones - perhaps in our licensed bar?

All our bedrooms are single with en-suite shower, although when available some are more than large enough for couples. The others being generous in proportion anyway. If you want to find out more about the general facilities available in Pri-Med Group homes, please click here.
