LOCATION

Central Danbury is one of Essex’s most sought-after village locations, offering a blend of countryside surroundings and everyday convenience. The Common is ideally positioned within walking distance of the village centre and local shops, cafés, a Co-op supermarket, pharmacy and village amenities, while nearby Maldon Road provides additional services.

Danbury is renowned for its beautiful green spaces including Danbury Common, Danbury Lakes & Country Park, Lingwood Common and Heather Hills, offering scenic woodland walks, bridleways and nature trails. The area is also well placed for outdoor leisure with nearby golf courses and sailing facilities at the Blackwater Estuary.

Chelmsford city centre is approximately 6 miles away, providing a comprehensive range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities. For commuters there are options of Sandon Park & Ride and mainline rail services at Hatfield Peverel, Beaulieu Park and Chelmsford. The A12 and A130 are easily accessible, providing excellent road links across Essex and into London. The area is well regarded for schooling, including Danbury Park Community Primary School and St Johns C of E primary. Independent schooling includes Elm Green Preparatory School and Heathcote Primary both within easy reach. Independent schooling is also available in Chelmsford, including New Hall School.

AGENTS NOTE

We are advised by the present owners that in 2003 the front eastern corner of property showed evidence of subsidence. An insurance claim was submitted and following further investigations it was deemed necessary to complete remedial works which included underpinning this part of the property in 2009. A 12-year structural guarantee was provided and no further issues have occurred since those works were completed.
