3 bedroom semi-detached house at Beaulieu

The top floor is given to two bedrooms. The principal bedroom measures has a fitted wardrobe and en suite. Bedroom 2 is a proper double with the same full width as every room in this home. Both rooms share a floor, giving the top of the house a calm, private feel that's genuinely separate from the floors below.

As a Hopkins home at Beaulieu, the Abberton comes with flooring included throughout, a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and heating via air source heat pump with underfloor heating to the ground floor and thermostatically controlled radiators above. You can see exactly how it all comes together in our showhome.

Beaulieu is one of the most ambitious and best-delivered new communities in the country. It has 176 acres of parkland, its own train station with direct services to London Liverpool Street, an Ofsted Outstanding all-through school that opened ahead of schedule, a working square with shops and cafés, and established streets that already feel lived-in rather than just built. The infrastructure that most new developments promise and few deliver is genuinely here. Get to know the area better in our Beyond the Doorstep guide to life at Beaulieu.

Hopkins Homes at Beaulieu are built to match the quality of the setting. These are three, four and five-bedroom homes with traditional brick detailing, considered architecture and the kind of specification you'd expect to have to pay to upgrade elsewhere: Air source heat pumps with underfloor heating to the ground floor, full flooring throughout included, Roca sanitaryware, Haier double ovens with air fry cooking, Silestone worktops to five-bedroom homes and sliding fitted wardrobes to the principal bedroom as standard. Nothing is an afterthought.

The homes are also built the right way. That means handpicked materials, attention paid to how each street looks from the outside as well as how each room works from the inside, and the craftsmanship that comes from a builder who is rated Excellent on Trustpilot and takes it seriously. At this price point, the details matter. They're here.

Chelmsford itself has been named the best place to live in the East of England for 2025 by The Sunday Times, a city with a genuine centre, good retail, restaurants and a river, without the cost or congestion of London. Beaulieu Park station puts London Liverpool Street around 35 minutes away by direct train, and the A12 keeps you connected to the wider county Stansted Airport is 17 miles away. For families, the choice of education is exceptional: Bright Horizons nursery in Beaulieu Square, a primary school directly opposite the development, The Beaulieu Park School (Essex's first all-through school, rated Outstanding), and the independent New Hall School all within easy reach.

Expected completion: Winter 2026/2027, as Hopkins Homes states it. A mortgage offer usually lasts about 6 months, so an offer applied for now would still be running on completion day. Plan reservation to the keys for this home

Sorted by the figure you choose, and nothing else: not a recommendation. Each payment is a repayment mortgage over 30 years at the rate the lender publishes for this loan to value; after the deal, at the lender's variable rate today, which can change. The cost over the deal is its payments and the lender's stated fees, less any cashback, and the APRC is worked out the way the FCA sets for lenders. NewHomeSearch is not authorised by the FCA, does not give mortgage advice or arrange mortgages, and receives nothing from lenders. A mortgage is secured on your home. Lenders decide who they lend to and may lend less on some new homes, flats in particular: check every figure with the lender.
