Location

The property occupies a peaceful setting in the hamlet of Bishops Green, 1.4 miles north of the quintessentially English village of High Easter, in a glorious stretch of Essex countryside. High Easter provides a cricket ground, a village cafe (The Snug), a village hall, recreational fields and a pretty village church.

The market town of Great Dunmow lies north of the village and provides a good range of shops and restaurants, while a more comprehensive range of facilities can be found in the nearby city of Chelmsford and town of Bishop's Stortford.

Commuters into London or elsewhere can access the main line to Liverpool Street from Chelmsford, Stansted and Bishop's Stortford or the Central Line underground service from Epping. A country road leads to the A120 which connects to the M11 at junction 8.

There is an excellent choice of educational facilities in the area, including the grammar schools at Chelmsford and Colchester, Felsted School, Bishop's Stortford College, New Hall and Brentwood School - all within easy driving distance. Within the village of High Easter is a pre-school.
