Location
The development at Millbanks is located on the southern edge of the sought-after village of Felsted. Set on elevated ground, the site benefits from panoramic north and westerly views across the surrounding countryside.

Felsted offers an excellent range of everyday amenities, including a doctor’s surgery, village shop and post office. The community is served by Holy Cross church, The Swan Inn, a welcoming tea room, and Rumblebees - a popular bookshop and music cafe.

The area provides superb access to countryside walks and riding routes, with the Flitch Way running along the edge of the village. This former railway line forms an important green corridor and wildlife haven stretching between Braintree and Bishop’s Stortford.

The locality is well served by both state and independent schools. Felsted itself offers a primary and pre-school, alongside the renowned Felsted School, which educates boys and girls from ages 4 to 18. Additional primary schools are found in Stebbing, Rayne and Ford End, with secondary schools located in Dunmow and Chelmsford.

For commuters, there are rail connections from Braintree, Chelmsford and Stansted Airport - all providing services to London Liverpool Street. Road links are equally convenient, with the A120 offering swift access to the M11 at Junction 8 near Bishop’s Stortford.
