Latest house prices for Rettendon Common, Chelmsford

Rettendon Common sits on a gentle ridge just south of Chelmsford, offering a quiet, rural atmosphere that feels quite removed from the busy pace of the city. Historically part of a larger area of wood-pasture and common land, the settlement today is defined by its mix of traditional cottages and newer homes clustered around the junction of the A130 and the old Roman road. Life here tends to revolve around the local primary school and the nearby villages of Rettendon and Battlesbridge, with the latter provides a scenic spot for walks along the River Crouch. While the setting is peaceful and surrounded by open Essex farmland, it remains a practical spot for getting around; the proximity to the A130 and the A127 makes it easy to reach Southend or London, and you can be at Wickford station for the commute in less than ten minutes. It is the kind of place where you still see horses being ridden along the lanes, yet you have the convenience of major shopping and rail links almost on your doorstep.
