More About Essex

Keen to learn more about Essex? Learn the essential details below – from the transport links and property market to its schools and places of interest.

What’s Essex Like?

Essex is a large county, expanding beyond the built up confines of London into open fields, bustling towns and many quaint villages. It’s population is around 1.5 million, reflecting its rural setting – with most of the population residing in a few key towns like Chelmsford and Colchester.

Essex has long been considered a prime spot for commuters, with many excellent transport links running to central London. For this reason, many families choose to settle there and leave the city behind, finding a great deal more space to raise children and experience a more relaxed pace of life.

This is further emphasised by the celebrated collection of schools, and the fact that many properties have a lot more space, large gardens – and all for a much cheaper price. These factors make Essex an excellent spot for anyone who’s grown dissatisfied with the capital, and want to gain some distance from it.

Property In Essex

Architecture: Essex has a diverse range of property types, with many being large, spacious and with easy access to green spaces. Many parts of Essex have Victorian terraces as well as spacious Edwardian homes. At the same time, many of the smaller villages have historic cottages, barn conversions and larger, stately homes with distinctive architecture.

Developments: Currently, several development projects are enhancing the area, such as the regeneration of Chelmsford’s city centre and the North Essex Garden Communities project, which aims to create sustainable new communities with ample green spaces and new amenities.

Prices: Homes in Essex are attractively cheap compared to London, making them a major boon for commuters. For example, the average house price this past year was £431K (even flats in London sell for an average of £566k). Most sales here were for terraced homes, which sold below this average price for around £425K, while semis went for slightly more at £442K. Flats were significantly cheaper, and were priced around £308K. See here for the most up to date pricing information.
