Education

Whether you’re looking for a high concentration of good local schools to choose between or a single outstanding option to focus on, Essex has a lot of strong options to look at. Some of the best primary options include Quarry Hill Academy in Grays, Basildon’s Lee Chapel Primary, Hare Street Community Primary School and Nursery in Harlow and Southend-on-Sea’s Hinguar Community Primary. 

All of those schools are rated as outstanding by Ofsted, while the same goes for Southend’s high schools for girls and boys. Westcliff High School for Boys Academy is ranked just as highly, as well as Colchester County High School for Girls, which is regarded as one of the best secondaries anywhere in the country. 

Transport links in Essex

The county council has promoted sustainable forms of transport in recent years through enhanced walking and cycling routes and schemes aimed at green travel. Bus, train and park and ride services are prevalent across the county, while you can also get excellent access to airports in Stansted and Southend, depending on where you live. If you have a car, the M11 runs through the west of Essex, while the M25 forms a section of the county’s southern border. 

The Essex property market

As such a prominent part of the South East, house prices in Essex are considerably higher than the UK average. You can still find excellent value in places like Southminster though, which offers everything from 2 bedroom bungalows to 3 bed semis and vast 5 bed detached houses with double garages. 

Perhaps you’re looking for a riverside way of life in Burnham-On-Crouch, or a traditionally-designed home with all the modern comforts in Hullbridge. Wherever you want to live, don’t miss offers to get as much support as you need with buying your new home.
