About Wolsey Park
Wolsey Park is a new build community by Countryside Homes, situated on the western edge of the market town of Rayleigh, Essex, at Gowlett Mews, SS6 9RH. The scheme is planned to deliver approximately 500 new homes upon completion, with the first phases introducing a contemporary collection of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom houses, alongside 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, including options for Shared Ownership. Countryside Homes operates with a strong industry track record, holding a 5-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), indicating that over 90% of their customers would recommend them.
The development is distinctively designed around more than 50 acres of dedicated green open space and parkland, fostering a balanced community environment. A defining feature across most new homes is the inclusion of sustainability-focused elements, such as solar panels and electric car charging points as standard. Each property is covered by a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty. Wolsey Park is strategically positioned for both local convenience and commuting. The Rayleigh mainline train station offers direct services to London Liverpool Street, with the fastest journey times averaging between 42 and 49 minutes. For local travel, a planned on-site bus route will connect residents directly to Rayleigh station, as well as to major hubs including Southend, Chelmsford, and Stansted Airport. For car users, the development provides good access to the A127 and A130 major road networks. The town of Rayleigh is a flourishing historic market town, benefiting from a high street offering independent shops and dining options, plus a historic weekly market. The location is approximately five miles from the Essex coastline. For families, the local area is served by a number of well-regarded primary and secondary schools. On-site community amenities are set to include a fully equipped children's play area, and planned features like allotments and a community orchard to encourage active, outdoor living. Lakeside Shopping Centre, providing 245 well-known retailers, is located less than a 30-minute drive away. The final phase of new build homes, including 2 to 4-bedroom houses, is now available. Interested parties requiring specific plot information, current availability, or details on any available incentive schemes (such as Own New Rate Reducer) should contact the Wolsey Park Sales Centre directly. Specific completion dates and the exact tenure for individual plots should be confirmed upon reservation.
