The site is located in a wonderful setting on the outskirts of the pleasant Essex village of Little Baddow, on a leafy lane close to Blakes Wood, private fishing lakes and conservation areas. Little Baddow itself is a desirable village with two public houses (The Generals Arms – incorporating Olio on the Ridge restaurant - and The Rodney). There is a very highly regarded preparatory school (Elm Green), a village hall, two long-established churches and a sports ground with a clubhouse, which is home to a local cricket club in the summer months.

The village lies just north of Danbury and has a range of local shops, amenities and schools (including Heathcote Preparatory School and Nursery). There is good road access to the Sandon Park & Ride for direct bus routes into Chelmsford city centre and beyond.

The village of Hatfield Peverel (about 4.4 miles away) is also on the main rail line to London and offers commuters an alternative choice of station.

To the south, Shenfield and Brentwood have Elizabeth Line rail services. The Hoppet Barn is about six miles due east of the city of Chelmsford, which provides an excellent choice of facilities including a bustling shopping centre, and Bond Street (consisting of John Lewis and a selection of restaurants), two grammar schools (KEGS and CCHS), as well as a railway station on the main line into London Liverpool Street and access onto the A12.

The area is crossed with footpaths and bridleways linking the National Trust woodland and heathlands, within the surrounding countryside.
