Why move to a new build home in Chelmsford?

There are so many reasons why you should move to one of our new housing developments in Chelmsford. With excellent commuter links, rich culture, and a bustling nightlife, you'll be spoilt for choice in this Essex hotspot.

Activities

If you're looking to explore the city's history and admire its impressive architecture, take a trip to the renowned Chelmsford Cathedral, which was first built, along with the original town, over 800 years ago. Or head to Chelmsford Museum to experience the story of the city, from the prehistoric period to the present day.

Step away from the centre to enjoy a stroll or cycle through one of the local parks. Central Park has riverside walks, beautiful wildlife, and offers a great spot for a family picnic. Or at Hylands Estate, you'll find a prestigious Grade II-listed building along with 574 acres of parkland.

Get your retail fix by taking a trip to one of three shopping centres – Meadows, High Chelmer, and Bond Street. Each includes a vast number of high street names, as well as independent retailers and restaurants.

Education

Many primary and secondary schools in the Chelmsford area are rated "Good" or "Outstanding" by Ofsted, perfect for ensuring your child receives a quality education.

Beyond school years, those seeking higher education can apply to Anglia Ruskin University, which has a Chelmsford campus. It's been named one of the top 350 universities in the world by The Times and boasts award-winning facilities.

Getting around Chelmsford

Chelmsford is a popular commuter city and is well-connected. London Liverpool Street is just over 30 minutes away by direct train – ideal for catching up with friends in the capital or heading into the City for work.

Our new homes benefit from convenient road links and public transport, meaning you'll also be in easy reach of neighbouring cities, including Southend-on-Sea and Colchester. Plus, London Stansted Airport is just half an hour away by car.
