East View, Writtle, Chelmsford

COMPLETE CHAIN ABOVE.......Gary Townsend asked the owners why they chose the property. Here’s what they said:

“We chose this house for its idyllic location, which connects us to nature, the outdoors, and the welcoming village community. The garden is a secluded oasis—ideal for alfresco dining—and the children are out there playing almost all year round.

A wall of trained apple trees separates the main garden from a private relaxation area, which leads on to a purpose-built gym or home office. The planting is designed to be low-maintenance, with something of interest in every season, and it’s as much a haven for birds and wildlife as it is for us.

The setting is peaceful and picturesque, with open views over the allotments to the front and a handy park right next door. During lockdown, we discovered a beautiful public footpath just fifty metres down the road, winding through countryside and leading to a stream where the children love to splash and explore.

Despite the tranquillity, we're just a short walk from the village green and all the local amenities—it’s the perfect balance of countryside calm and community connection.”

Writtle Village offers all the village amenities required, including pubs, restaurants, doctor’s surgery, butchers, but to name a few. This historic village also offers delightful countryside walks as well as the neighbouring Hylands Park. Chelmsford City (voted 2nd best place to live, The Times 2025) is in close proximity for further shopping and leisure facilities, and can be accessed via parkland walks if
