Moving to or from Chelmsford: what to know
Chelmsford is the county town of Essex and became a city in 2012. It has a large shopping centre, the riverside, Anglia Ruskin University and a station on the Great Eastern main line with fast trains to London Liverpool Street.
Housing ranges from Victorian terraces in Moulsham and around the centre, to interwar and post-war suburbs like Springfield and Great Baddow, to major new developments such as Beaulieu Park and Channels in the north-east. Villages such as Writtle, Broomfield, Danbury and Little Waltham offer period homes and cottages.
For your Chelmsford move, tell us about your dates, addresses, items and any access or parking restrictions. We offer free surveys and fixed quotes, with packing and dismantling services available.
Chelmsford's new-build estates often have three-storey townhouses and shared parking, while village cottages have low beams and tight stairs. We plan for both.
