LOCATION
Millington Place enjoys a secluded setting in the north Essex village of Gosfield, two miles west of the market town of Halstead, and some five miles from Braintree with its railway station and wealth of leisure options. Offering a portfolio of 2, 3 & 4 bedroom homes, Millington Place meets the demand by households of all sizes. Commuting to London in an acceptable time means more leisure hours to discover and enjoy the attractions of the village, while those working partly or wholly from home will relish both the calm and the opportunity to take breaks in nearby natural surroundings.
Gosfield has a large playing field, community shop, and a public house serving food. There is also a primary school, as well as two independent schools offering education from preparatory to 16 - 18 year olds. There are other schools for all ages in Halstead and Sible Hedingham. Most of the state schools have ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings (UK Government website in September 2021). There are GP surgeries in Halstead and Sible Hedingham, while the modern Braintree Community Hospital provides many services. Halstead also has a leisure centre, theatre, three supermarkets, many independent shops and a good choice of places to eat, several with outdoor space. Braintree boasts a large retail and entertainment complex with discount designer shops, Cineworld, ten pin bowling and more.
The village is on a frequent bus route connecting Halstead and Braintree, while buses to Colchester, Chelmsford and other destinations run from Halstead High Street and Braintree (the latter also has a bus service to London Stansted Airport). The rail journey to London Liverpool Street from Braintree takes just over an hour. Gosfield lies on the A1017, giving drivers good access to the A12, as well as to a park and ride site for Cambridge, and also to the A120 for Stansted.
This select village has several gems, but does not shout their existence with brash signage. Gosfield Lake Resort is certainly unique in the area, offering a lovely picnic setting, water skiing, inflatable rides and open water swimming. Similarly, Gosfield Lake Golf Club has an idyllic home, while a walk can take in Gosfield Hall, a magnificent Georgian manor house and picturesque wedding venue, and the attractive parish church, last resting place of many members of the Courtauld family, who operated silk mills and provided homes, health care and parks for all. Also a stroll away are Gosfield Sandpits, a tranquil nature reserve with ponds, popular with dog-walkers and for fishing, and slightly further away lies Broakes Wood, an ancient woodland site with five miles of open paths.
