Fayrewood Drive, Great Leighs, Chelmsford

If you’re looking for a home that feels part of a proper village community, this townhouse in Great Leighs might just be the one. This is really flexible home, set over three floors, with four good-sized bedrooms as it stands, but you could quite easily use it as a five-bedroom if you needed the extra space. Whether that’s for a growing family, guests, or working from home, it’s nice to have that option without needing to extend.

The kitchen/breakfast room is one of those spaces you’ll probably end up spending most of your time in, plenty of room for a table, so it naturally becomes the hub of the home. The lounge is a separate, cosy spot to unwind in the evenings, and having a utility area tucked away is a real bonus (keeps the everyday mess out of sight). With the added bonus of two bathrooms, making those mornings a lot easier, plus a downstairs cloakroom for convenience.

Outside, you’ve got a garage and parking, so no stress when it comes to storage or having friends and family over. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with patio area, this can be accessed via the downstairs reception/bedroom and utility. There is access to to the garage via door from the rear garden.

Great Leighs itself is a big part of the appeal. It’s one of those villages where people genuinely want to stay quiet, friendly, and surrounded by open countryside, but still within easy reach of Chelmsford when you need it. For families, you’ve got Great Leighs Primary School nearby, and well-regarded secondary schools in Chelmsford like Chelmer Valley High and King Edward VI Grammar.

You’re also not far from places like Hylands Park or RHS Hyde Hall for weekend walks, and Chelmsford station makes commuting into London straightforward if that’s part of your routine.

All in all, it’s a really adaptable home in a location that’s hard not to like, ideal if you want a bit more breathing space without feeling cut off.

From time to time, a small number of the partners we recommend (certainly not the majority) may pay us a referral fee of up to £200—consider it a little behind-the-scenes sparkle. Of course, there’s absolutely no obligation to use any of our recommended “dance partners.”
