The Shires, Bulphan is an established, high-specification residential development by the national housebuilder, Redrow Homes, located off Lower Dunton Road in the semi-rural village of Bulphan, Essex (RM14 3TY). The site has reached completion and is currently 'Sold out' from the developer, with purchasing opportunities arising via the resale market. The development consists exclusively of a limited selection of premium, detached, two-storey family residences.

Redrow is a highly-regarded developer, having been consistently awarded a 5-Star Home Builders Federation (HBF) rating for customer satisfaction, known for its focus on quality design and creating sustainable communities. The Shires features spacious four and five-bedroom detached homes drawn from the acclaimed Heritage Collection. These properties are distinguished by Arts and Crafts-inspired architecture on the exterior, seamlessly blended with contemporary, open-plan living spaces internally. Specific property features across the collection include energy-efficient designs, high-quality finishes, and the provision of ultrafast broadband access. The Shires is positioned to offer a balance between peaceful countryside living and excellent commuter access. The development is situated close to the A127, providing direct road links into London and Southend. The drive time to central London is approximately 49-50 minutes outside of peak congestion. For rail commuters, the nearest train stations are on the reliable c2c line, which runs services to London Fenchurch Street. A combined journey via the local bus service (Route 565) and train from Brentwood or West Horndon offers a commute into London in approximately 1 hour 5 minutes. Local bus route 565 provides connectivity between the nearby Bulphan Recreation Ground and Brentwood. Bulphan retains a strong village identity, featuring a local village hall, a post office, a traditional pub, and a farm shop. For educational requirements, Bulphan Church of England Academy is located within the village, holding an OFSTED rating of ‘Good’ overall with an ‘Outstanding’ grade for Personal Development. More extensive retail, dining, and leisure facilities are available in the nearby urban centres. Major supermarkets (Waitrose, Aldi, Tesco Express), high-street shops (Boots, M&Co), and services are easily accessible in Upminster (RM14). Residents also benefit from the immediate proximity of the Langdon Hills Golf and Country Club, and the broader amenities of Basildon are just a short drive to the east. As the development is sold out by Redrow Homes, all current and future opportunities will be through the re-sale market, often including properties with the remainder of the 10-year NHBC warranty. Prospective buyers interested in the specific availability of house types (e.g., The Cambridge, The Oxford, The Hampstead) and current pricing should monitor local estate agent listings or contact the developer's nearest active site for general specification details.
