Around Thaxted.
Thaxted is a small Essex town with a striking medieval guildhall, a tall church spire, a restored windmill and streets of timber-framed houses, and it is linked with Gustav Holst, who lived here. Much of it is listed, and the surrounding countryside is dotted with small villages and farmhouses. Work here calls for heritage-aware trades who can show conservation experience, while visitors and residents alike respond to independent businesses with clear, attractive sites.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Great Dunmow (6 miles) and Saffron Walden (6 miles). Elsewhere in Essex, Braintree (10 miles) and Halstead (12 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Bishop's Stortford (10 miles) and Haverhill (10 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Sawbridgeworth (13 miles) and Clare (13 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Within Thaxted itself, we build for businesses in Great Easton, Little Easton, Monk Street, Cutlers Green, Broxted and Lindsell.
Thaxted addresses fall in the CM postcode area, about 188 miles north-east of Exeter, where we are based.
