Little Burstead is a small village on the outskirts of Billericay, just a 3-minute drive from the High Street. Predominantly it is a conservation area, established in 1983 to preserve its traditional appearance, with 11 Listed Buildings from medieval to Victorian plus the village`s red telephone box! Grand houses like the privately owned Clock House and the surrounding farms once employed most of the villagers, many skilled tradespeople, now the village is home to the more well-heeled with the average property here worth circa ?1m.

Features include the 14th century St Mary`s Church and 28 acres of common grazing land, and the village even had a secret early warning nuclear bunker installed in the 1960`s.

Overall, a delightful period home on a large plot, within an idyllic English village near London.
