Set in the village of Howe Green, just outside Chelmsford, this house makes a great base for exploring Essex. The large garden has plenty of space for kids to play, along with spots for outdoor dining and relaxing. Inside, the kitchen and living room both overlook the garden, so you’re always connected to the outdoors. With two bathrooms – one of them an en-suite – and one guest toilet, you might need a little coordination at full capacity. You’ll also need a car here, but scenic parks, restaurants, cafes, and Chelmsford’s town centre are all within a short drive.

About Essex

Despite being so close to London, Essex is a world apart. With rolling countryside that inspired Constable, one of Britain's greatest landscape painters, delightful seaside towns and a host of secret coastal islands, Essex surprises at every turn. Where else in the UK can you walk past Queen Elizabeth's hunting lodge in Epping Forest, enjoy a Michelin-starred lunch near Maldon (of sea salt fame), before spending your afternoon lounging in...
