Location
Chelmsford station: 3.5 miles (London Liverpool Street from 34 minutes), A12 (junction 15): 6.7 miles, M25 (Junction 28): 16 miles. All distances approximate.
This secluded plot is situated in the parish of Chignal Smealey, which lies a short distance to the west of Chelmsford, known for the village pub/ eatery, The Pig and Whistle.
The nearby village of Great Waltham provides local shopping facilities, a public house and a primary school, while the city of Chelmsford offers a station on the main line into London Liverpool Street and a much more extensive range of shopping and recreational facilities. It also boasts a number of excellent schools, including the highly regarded New Hall School, Chelmsford County High School for Girls, King Edward VI Grammar School for Boys and Felsted School (which is not in the city itself but lies within easy reach). The countryside surrounding is very popular with walkers, horse riders and cyclists.
