Thinking of living in Great Dunmow?
Welcome to Great Dunmow, a characterful market town located in the heart of rural Essex. This charming, historic town couldn’t be better located, with countryside all around, yet with vibrant Braintree and Bishop’s Stortford both within easy reach, and Stansted Airport less than a 10 minute drive from home. With the A120 trunk road just a short distance away, and linking with the M11 for Central London, commuting will be straightforward too.
Dating back to Roman times, Great Dunmow has everything you would expect of a well-appointed market town, with a centre that blends the character of old with the convenience of new. Mellow plaster cottages, a riverside church and a beautifully-restored Malthouse are just some of its standout features, while the pretty high street is lined with quaint local shops. Foodies will find plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants to enjoy, and there are regular cultural events held throughout the year.
Looking to explore the area and get a taste of the great outdoors? Talliston House & Gardens in Great Dunmow and The Gardens of Easton Lodge in Little Easton both come highly recommended, while the Flitch Way Trail is on your doorstep and is perfect for walking and cycling.
