Castle Point; what a wonderful place to live!

Castle Point; what a wonderful place to live!

With more and more people moving out of London and into this part of Essex we make a special effort to photograph the daily routine of life to provide an insight into why living in our tiny Borough is so perfect. We have been out and about this week armed with our trusty camera, here are the results.


A fitting scene for a John Constable painting at the Salvation Army Farmland in Hadleigh where hay bales dominate the sky line, the gentle breeze rustles through the grasslands at Thundersley Common and all the fun of the fair as hundreds of families congregate at Canvey Beach to enjoy the summer holidays. Castle Point, what a wonderful place to live!

If you’re hoping to be in your new home by Christmas, time is running out. With UK sale timelines now topping 200 days from listing to completion, September may be your last chance to start the process. Here’s what you need to know before it’s too late…

Thinking about a move? Imagine stepping out your front door, dog lead in hand, breathing in the fresh woodland air, and wandering through ancient trees only to emerge at a cosy pub just minutes later. Welcome to life near West Wood in Hadleigh, where peaceful woodland walks meet the irresistible charm of the dog friendly Woodman’s Arms.

Living next to the woods, we expected to feel closer to nature, but we didn’t expect to make friends with it. We thought we would spend our mornings listening to the birds and admiring the trees. Instead, we find ourselves checking that Freda the fox, our uninvited but much-loved garden guest has returned safely from her nightly wandering!
