Beaulieu Heath by Countryside Homes · Choat Place, Off Commonwealth Link, Chelmsford, Essex CM1 6HS

Beaulieu Heath, an established phase within the wider Beaulieu community in Chelmsford, Essex (CM1 6HS), offers a collection of new build homes developed by Countryside Homes, a partner in the award-winning Beaulieu masterplan. The development is situated off Commonwealth Link and is highly regarded, with the Beaulieu district having been named The Sunday Times Best Place to Live in the East of England in 2025 and having received the Evening Standard New Homes Awards 2024 for Best Large Development. The community is set around the historic New Hall School and features a blend of traditional architectural styles.

This phase provides a diverse choice of 1 to 5 bedroom new build apartments and houses, designed to cater to a range of buyers from first-time homeowners to large families. Current pricing for available properties, such as a 2-bedroom maisonette, is listed from approximately £328,000, with overall starting prices from around £324,995. The properties offer modern internal layouts that prioritise light and functionality. Specific house types, including the Waxwing Maisonettes and Skylark homes, have been offered in this area. Buyers are advised to contact the sales office directly to obtain detailed floorplans, specifications, and the status of individual plots, as availability is subject to high demand. Beaulieu Heath is designed to be a highly connected commuter location. Road links are excellent, with immediate access to the A12 and A130, providing routes to the M11 and M25 motorways. The Beaulieu Parkway relief road, which opened in 2023, provides a swift connection to Junction 19 of the A12. For public transport, an express bus network, including the C9 and C10 services, operates within the development, connecting residents to Chelmsford City Centre and the main train station. A major benefit for future residents will be the opening of the Beaulieu Park Station at the end of October 2025. This brand-new mainline station, a partnership between Network Rail and the developers, is expected to significantly streamline the commute to London Liverpool Street (approximately 35 minutes from the existing Chelmsford station, with this new station set to reduce travel time further). The development is an integral part of the self-sufficient Beaulieu community, benefiting from a wealth of nearby facilities. Educational needs are met by the onsite, ‘all-through’ Beaulieu Park School (covering primary, secondary, and early years), which opened in 2018 and was recently expanded with a second net-zero primary school building in September 2024. The independent New Hall School is also adjacent to the development. Local amenities are concentrated at Beaulieu Square, which features essential retail, including a Sainsbury’s local and multiple coffee shops. The development is surrounded by acres of parkland, green open spaces, meadows, sports areas, and allotments, with an established community centre hosting seasonal events. Beaulieu Heath offers homes ranging from 1 to 5 bedrooms, with current pricing starting from approximately £324,995. The sales and marketing suite is open seven days a week from 10:00 to 17:00, with viewings available by appointment. While the wider Beaulieu district has received awards, prospective buyers should note that this is a large, ongoing new build project, and some residents in previous phases have reported concerns regarding building site noise and the completion of snagging lists. Direct engagement with the sales team is recommended to confirm the immediate surroundings and completion status of the current phase.
