Whether you’re curling up by the fire, hosting long lunches under the trees, or simply watching the seasons roll by from the garden, this is a home that offers space, soul, and serenity in equal measure.
The Location – Onslow Green & Barnston
Onslow Green is a quiet, sought-after hamlet just outside the village of Barnston, surrounded by rolling fields, footpaths, and open countryside. It offers the kind of rare, peaceful setting that buyers dream of — a place where birdsong replaces traffic noise and neighbours still greet each other by name.
Despite its rural feel, Onslow Green offers excellent connectivity:
• Just a few minutes’ drive to Great Dunmow, a thriving market town with independent shops, cafes, schools, and everyday essentials
• Easy access to Chelmsford for mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street
• Convenient links to the A120, M11, and Stansted Airport
The area is rich in history and natural beauty. Barnston itself dates back to the Domesday Book and is home to the Grade I listed Church of St Andrew, a beautiful parish church at the heart of the community. Locally, you’ll also find nature reserves, country pubs, and walking routes that stretch for miles across unspoiled landscapes.
Whether you’re looking for a rural retreat, a family forever home, or a lifestyle change steeped in charm and tradition, Little Pentons offers it all — and more.
