Location

Feering is a lovely village with all the benefits of a rural, yet strategic location, enabling easy travel to Colchester, Chelmsford and London. Its ancient centre, located around All Saints Church, is listed in the Domesday Book although the village has grown considerably since medieval days and now stretches from the river Blackwater at the border with Kelvedon in the south, to the A120 in the north, and is home to some 1900 people. While still retaining its small, local and friendly village feel, Feering has a surprisingly large number of amenities including thriving pubs, All Saints Church and a well-regarded primary school. The region boasts a significant number of secondary schools as well as colleges and nurseries. There are well-renowned private schools within easy reach and some of the country’s leading grammar schools in Colchester and Chelmsford.

Feering merges into the larger village of Kelvedon offering more extensive amenities, including many shops, restaurants, dentist and doctor surgeries, a further sought-after Primary School and many more useful services. There are also a number of listed buildings many of which are of national importance.
