Location
Roseberry House sits within the village of East Hanningfield, a peaceful rural setting just outside Chelmsford, offering a blend of countryside living with practical access to nearby towns. The area is well served for education, with East Hanningfield Church of England Primary School and the village preschool close by, while other primary options such as Priory Primary School in Bicknacre and Rettendon Primary School are only a short drive. Great Baddow High School and a choice of Chelmsford's secondary and grammar schools are within easy reach, making the location convenient for families. Transport links are also favourable for a village location, as South Woodham Ferrers railway station lies a few miles away, providing regular services towards London and other Essex destinations. Local buses run through the village connecting to Chelmsford and surrounding communities, and the road network gives straightforward access to the A130 and A12 for commuting by car.

Amenities are centred around village life, with everyday needs met by nearby convenience stores and larger supermarkets found a short drive away. East Hanningfield offers a welcoming local community with popular places to eat such as The Folly Bistro, as well as access to leisure facilities including a local swimming pool and countryside walking routes.
