Francis Gardens is an upcoming development located in Silver End, Essex, an established garden village placed in scenic countryside surroundings. Witham and Braintree are the closest towns – just five miles away – while Colchester and Chelmsford are both within half an hour’s drive for city amenities.
The development will be a four-minute drive from the A120 and a nine-minute drive from the A12.
This development falls under the administration of Braintree District Council and Essex County Council.
Francis Gardens is set in stunning surroundings, extending the quaint garden village of Silver End. The rural landscape is a patchwork of purposeful Essex farmland, providing a peaceful retreat for residents, and an effortless connection to nature.
The village itself houses lively playing fields, encircled by the commercial centre. The Silver End Village Hall adjacent is the largest in the country, sitting in the middle of this modernist community, accommodating a library and generous event space.
The development joins an historic region, attested by cultural landmarks within the neighbouring countryside. This includes two National Trust destinations, notable public estates such as Markshall, and Cressing Temple Barns – a medieval farmstead long regarded as a site of global historical significance.
Witham and Braintree provide a choice of leisure centres and gyms for active lifestyles. Both also have thriving arts scenes, with lively music venues and theatres offering varied evenings out.
Silver End Academy is a mile away for an easy drop-off, while additional primary schools include Cressing Primary School and Rivenhall C of E Primary School, within a five-minute drive.
Well-regarded secondary school options can be found in Witham and Braintree, both of which are conveniently served by public transport routes for independent commutes.
Further education can be pursued at the University of Essex, 20 miles away, or additional institutions are within a reasonable commute across London and the South East.
Important local road links include the A120, offering easy access to Braintree and Colchester, as well as the A12, linking to Witham and Chelmsford.
Rolph’s Farm bus stop is a five-minute walk from the development with regular shuttle services heading into Witham and Braintree. A bus route leads directly to Witham train station in less than 20 minutes, from which rail services to London Liverpool Street take 45 minutes.
London Stansted Airport is a 22-minute drive away from the development, offering a wealth of connections and destinations worldwide.
Silver End village hall and shops are under a mile away, supplying convenient everyday essentials including a supermarket, a post office, hairdressers, a surgery, and a pharmacy.
Freeport shopping village is under 10 minutes away, with a broad selection of fashion brands providing outlet shopping, plus an adjacent retail park offering wider shopping opportunities.
There are wonderful options for dining on the doorstep. The Western Arms pub and the Village Indigo at Willow Inn both provide a family-friendly atmosphere and wide drink selection, the former supplying traditional home-cooked pub meals, and the latter a modern Indian-cuisine menu. Two miles away in Cressing, the Tiptree Tea Rooms is a stunning spot for afternoon tea.
Colchester and Chelmsford both offer comprehensive shopping, with indoor centres and retail parks to each, plus purposeful independent shopping hubs. Chelmsford boasts riverside dining, while Colchester hosts regular markets and trade events in the city centre.
