Welcome to Mulberry Place, our unique development of 4 & 5 bedroom homes, set in the heart of the delightful village of Great Leighs in Essex.

Located just six miles from both Braintree and Chelmsford, Great Leighs offers its residents an idyllic village setting with all the advantages of major towns nearby. This charming, historical village boasts a Post Office and General Store, Community Hall, Pubs, Church, and a Primary School. There are many places of interest close by including Leez Priory, a magnificent Tudor mansion set in 40 acres of beautiful parkland. Great Leighs is the perfect place to unwind; local surroundings have areas of unspoilt beauty that are just perfect for an afternoon stroll, or a more energetic bike ride.

Just a short drive away is the Blake House Craft Centre which, as well as offering a unique collection of art and craft shops, features weekly boot fairs, regular farmers markets and many events throughout the year for all the family.

Travel the few miles to Braintree or Chelmsford and you will find a wealth of shopping, sporting and entertainment facilities to choose from. Both towns offer a combination of well known high street stores, together with smaller specialist shops and regular markets. In addition you will find the Freeport Designer Outlet Village on the outskirts of Braintree with over 80 shops.

Sports facilities are excellent, with something for virtually every enthusiast. You can limber up at one of Braintree and Chelmsford’s many health and fitness centres, play golf, tennis, cricket, rugby, football, even ice hockey! Both towns have popular ten pin bowling alleys, whilst Braintree also has skateboarding facilities and an indoor go-karting track.

There is always something to do in the evenings. As well as an excellent choice of restaurants, wine bars and bistros, both Braintree and Chelmsford have multi-screen cinemas. You can also visit the theatre in Chelmsford which offers a variety of productions from dance and music, to more traditional plays.

Education in the area has a well earned reputation. Great Leighs’ popular Primary School is just a short walk from Mulberry Place. For older children there are fine state schools including Chelmer Valley High School in Broomfield and the Chelmsford County High School for Girls, as well as several schools in the private and independent sectors. For further education, the Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford offers a vast array of part-time and full-time, undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Mulberry Place is idealy located for travel. The new improved A120 gives a fast direct route to Stansted Airport (just 25 minutes) and the M11, whilst the A12 takes you to the M25 and onwards to the national road network. For commuters, trains from Chelmsford Station or Hatfield Peverel Station provide a regular service into the City.
