According to Rightmove, five properties in Sackville Crescent have been sold within the last two years for prices ranging from £212,000 for a two-bed flat to £280,000 for a detached house.

Behind strategically-grown shrubbery lining the crescent is the busy A12 road.

It is also close to Harold Wood station, where trains will take you to London's Liverpool Street in under 40 minutes, and Station Road with a pleasing selection of eateries and convenience shops.

The crescent is surprisingly quiet despite its location near a main road and pavements and roads appear well-kept.

A couple of minute's walk to Chelsworth Drive and property prices rise significantly, with two three-bed houses being sold in 2020 for £420,000.
