Why Move to Rochford?
Rochford is a small Essex town which forms part of the wider Rochford District, comprising Rayleigh to the west and bordering the iconic British seaside town, Southend to the south.
The town is steeped in history and has managed to preserve its own character and identity despite its prestigious neighbours.
Instead of a high street the town has a unique cross pattern and is packed full of historical places of interest including the Old House and Rochford Hall, one time home of the Boleyn family.
The district is ringfenced by a stretch of breath-taking coastline, coastal marshes, intricate waterways and rolling countryside hills.
Living costs are lower than London and Essex as a whole with prime real estate opportunities for the savvy purchaser.
Rochford highlights include:
Central location – Working transport links to London and Chelmsford as well as the coastal towns of Essex.
Community-driven – One of the oldest markets in the UK, it was granted its charter in 1247 and it is still held every Tuesday as well as a monthly Saturday farmers market too.
Foodie’s haven – mixture of dining experiences from traditional gastro pubs to Turkish and Indian restaurants.
Choice of Schools – Good range of schools from primary through to secondary with Grammar stream options in nearby Southend
International links – Southend airport operates regular flights to other parts of the UK and the rest of Europe, including Spain, Portugal and parts of Western Europe.
