Mulberry Green has a mixture of three- and four-bedroom homes. Moments away from the A12 and Hatfield Peverel train station (regular services to London in around 40 minutes), you can enjoy the quiet life in the well-served village but still be within very easy reach of Chelmsford with its extensive shopping, amenities and leisure facilities, as well as places like Colchester, Braintree and Maldon.
