New build homes for sale in Earls Colne

Earls Colne is just enough off the beaten track to keep that sought-after village community feel. It’s close enough to the A120 and A131 to get you quickly to Colchester and Braintree, each just 10 miles away. And the A12 is also nearby, for a connection with the M25 for Greater London and the Dartford Tunnel. Just 26 miles away, another convenient factor is the easy drive to London Stansted International Airport and the M11.

The village provides you with small local shops and services on your doorstep. Plus, the small town of Halstead, just 4 miles away, offers a wide range of local facilities and supermarkets. It's residents also enjoy a range of community benefits, such as a local primary school, a surgery, a recreation club, a golf club and a tennis club.

With its great choice of places to eat, the nearby town of Colchester is an excellent day out for retail therapy shopping with friends and for evenings out. Bringing together the sister villages of White Colne, Colne Engaine and Wakes Colne, the annual Four Colnes Show is a popular celebration that's fun for all the family.

A beautiful rural part of Essex, the Colne Valley Local Nature Reserve makes the most of the meandering River Colne and its series of mini lakes. A little further afield, you also have the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is shared between Essex and Suffolk. Wander over the border, and the Suffolk Heaths & Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is waiting to be discovered, as well as some of the ancient villages such as Lavenha.
