Everyday essentials at Beaulieu Square
Beaulieu Square brings together shops and services within the wider neighbourhood. With a Sainsbury’s Local and places to pick up a coffee or something to eat, it gives you options for everyday errands and meeting up with friends.
Perhaps it is a coffee after the school run, picking up a few things for dinner or making time for a catch-up at the weekend. These familiar places help you get to know an area and feel part of it.
Make time for the outdoors
Parks, landscaped gardens and open spaces connect Beaulieu’s neighbourhoods and give you opportunities to spend time outside.
You might head out with the dog before work, take a walk after lunch or explore a different route at the weekend. Having green space woven through the wider development makes those small breaks outdoors part of the setting around your home.
When you visit, allow time to explore the surrounding paths and parkland as well as the homes themselves.
Connections for work and weekends
Beaulieu Park station provides direct train services to Chelmsford and London Liverpool Street, opening up options for commuting, days out and evenings in the city.
Walking and cycling routes connect parts of the neighbourhood, while bus services provide another way to reach the station and Chelmsford city centre.
Whether you travel regularly for work or simply enjoy having places to explore, these connections are worth considering alongside your choice of home.
A neighbourhood for family life
For families planning a move, education is another part of the picture. The wider Beaulieu development includes The Beaulieu Park School, with primary and secondary provision, and the independent New Hall School. Nursery provision at Beaulieu Square adds another option for younger children.
Take time to explore the settings and admissions arrangements that suit your family. Combining that research with a visit can help you understand how the neighbourhood might fit around your everyday routines.
