What makes this area unique?
Schools in Essex
Good schools, child-friendly facilities and a great quality of life make Essex the ideal place to settle down with a young family. Some of the best-recognised public and private institutions in the area include New Hall School, Felsted School, Becket Keys Church of England Free School, and Southend High School for Boys.
Urivalled links
Professionals will benefit from the unrivalled links into London’s city centre; for example, those residing in centrally located Chelmsford can expect a commute of just 40 minutes straight into Liverpool Street. With easy access to the M25, M11, and the A12, reaching neighbouring counties by road is often possible within a matter of minutes. Stansted Airport, located near the Essex/Hertfordshire border, serves a series of international destinations.
Things to do
There are plenty of world-class restaurants, bars, and other recreational venues in Essex which give its towns and cities a distinctly cosmopolitan feel. Try the Michelin-starred Flitch of Bacon in Dunmow for relaxed dining; step down a side street in Maldon to try Mrs Salisbury’s Famous Tea Rooms; or visit one of Essex’s many other seaside retreats, such as Southend-on-Sea and Mersea Island, to sample delicious seafood dishes.
Rural heritage
Those seeking a slower pace of life will enjoy the abundant countryside and fascinating heritage here. In fact, much of the county is designated as rural. Small villages and hamlets are scattered throughout the region, between which there is a plentiful supply of high specification mansions and beautiful country homes offering much-coveted privacy.
Rich history
Having been established during Norman times, Essex boasts a rich tapestry of history. Colchester, which lies to the north, is the oldest recorded town in the country, and used to be considered the capital of Great Britain during the Roman era. Local landmarks of note include Colchester Castle, Mountfitchet Castle, Hylands House, and Audley End House and Gardens.
Celebrities living in Essex
As Essex is only a few miles from the London border, many A-list celebrities choose to call the county home. The district of Epping Forest is perhaps home to the most famous faces – Sir Rod Stewart, Sir Alan Sugar, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Bradley Walsh, Mark Wright, and Michelle Keegan all reportedly live in or near to Chigwell, IG7.
