Earls Colne
Looking for a new home in Earls Colne
The village of Earls Colne is a bit of a treat. A quiet place in the country, with easy access to Colchester and Braintree (the UK’s oldest town), two of Essex’s key working towns, and to the small town of Halstead, just 4 miles away, for a wide range of local facilities and supermarkets. This location in northern Essex is within very reasonable reach of London Stansted Airport to the west, and the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east, a real contrast of amenities.
