Discover Small Acres: A gated community where modern living meets village charm

Set within the well-connected Essex village of Hatfield Peverel, Small Acres is an exclusive collection of just 19 thoughtfully designed houses and bungalows by Chigwell Developments.

Combining contemporary living with an excellent location, the scheme offers a diverse mix of two, three and four bedroom homes, appealing to a wide range of buyers, from downsizers seeking single-storey living to families looking for generous, modern accommodation.

The development features an impressive selection of property types, including two and three bedroom bungalows, accessible bungalow designs, semi-detached houses and spacious four bedroom detached homes.  Many properties in this select gated development includes garages and private parking, while the carefully considered layout creates an attractive and welcoming street scene.

Steve Lillistone, Associate Partner at Fenn Wright commented “Homes at Small Acres have been designed with modern lifestyles in mind, offering bright, well-proportioned living spaces and contemporary layouts suited to both everyday living and entertaining.  The inclusion of accessible homes further enhances the development’s appeal, ensuring a broad range of buyers can find a property that meets their needs.”

Location is another standout feature, and Hatfield Peverel enjoys a wealth of village amenities, including shops, healthcare services, recreational facilities and a railway station, providing direct connections to London Liverpool Street and Chelmsford.  The village also benefits from excellent road links via the A12, making it a smart choice for commuters and those seeking easy access to nearby cities, towns and the countryside alike.
