    Local information

    • Old House sits in a commanding position in the heart of the Chelmer Valley, which is a picturesque conservation area surrounded by a wealth of National Trust and heath land.
    • The house occupies an idyllic and peaceful position, privately situated within the picturesque village of Little Baddow. Little Baddow is a thriving village with a strong local community offering two public houses (The Generals Arms and The Rodney), a very highly thought of preparatory school (Elm Green), a village hall, two long established churches and its own sports ground and clubhouse, which is home to a local cricket club in the summer months. Little Baddow lies just north of the village of Danbury and its extensive range of local shops, amenities and schools (including Heathcote Preparatory School and Nursery) and is only 5 miles due east of the city of Chelmsford, which provides an excellent choice of facilities - including a bustling shopping centre, two outstanding grammar schools, a station on the main line into London Liverpool Street and access on to the A12.
