Location

Great Bentley is held in high esteem by the locals - it has been voted Village of the Year on more than one occasion and boasts a strong community spirit as well as, so it is said, the largest village green in England which spans approximately 43 acres.

Located approximately 5.2 miles from Brightlingsea with its lido and only 9.5 miles to the beach at Frinton on Sea and Walton on the Naze, the coast is never far away for family days out or a stroll along the sea front. Spend the day crabbing, or catch the foot ferry over to Mersea Island from Brightlingsea.

There's no shortage of amenities in the village itself. It's less than a mile to a Tesco Express, a Post Office, a GP surgery and pharmacy plus a multitude of other local businesses. Worth noting the local eateries such as The Barn Cafe and the traditional Plough Inn.

For a larger shop, Colchester City Centre is approximately 9 miles away via the A120 and A12. Here you'll find Waitrose, Tesco and Sainsbury's superstores plus a wide range of high street favourites and independent boutiques. For trips out, Colchester also offers cinema, theatre and art gallery options as well as Colchester Castle and Colchester Zoo.

Commuting and day tripping is straightforward using the Sunshine Coast Line from Great Bentley Station, which is approximately 1 mile from the development. Direct journey times to London Liverpool Street start from one hour and twenty minutes. There are also direct buses into Colchester, Brightlingsea and Clacton. By road using the A120 and A12, Great Bentley offers ideal access to Ipswich (approx 22 miles), Chelmsford (approx 35 miles) and Braintree (approx 27 miles).

Great Bentley village life offers excellent access to schooling. For a young age, Great Bentley Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding 2015/16) is approximately 1 mile away. For older children, there's a range of schools in Clacton, Manningtree and Colchester as well as Colne Community School and College around 4.5 miles away in Brightlingsea. Colchester also offers two highly regarded grammar schools - Colchester County High School for Girls and Colchester Royal Grammar School.
