Rayleigh – a well-connected small town with mostly spacious family homes and only a handful of smaller properties.
BACKGROUND
Rayleigh is a town in the district of Rochford in Essex, situated between Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea. It is just over 30 miles from central London. There has been a settlement here since Saxon times, and in medieval times the forests around the town were royal hunting grounds. Its most significant historic monument is the remains of the Norman Rayleigh Castle.
In more modern times, the late 20th century saw many new housing estates appear on former greenfield sites around the town. Its market-town feel distinguishes it from nearby Basildon, and its schools and proximity to London make it popular with families.
TRANSPORT
Bus services run by Arriva Southend and First Essex usually terminate at Rayleigh railway station. Greater Anglia runs the rail line which leads from Southend Victoria to London Liverpool Street, stopping at Rayleigh and running every 10 minutes during rush hour. First Essex also operates an hourly coach service to Stansted Airport.
By road, Rayleigh is connected via the A127 to Southend in the east, and to Basildon in the west. Fourteen miles north, via the A130, is Chelmsford.
AMENITIES
Rayleigh has number of parks, playing fields and play areas. An old market town, it has retained much of its traditional character and is a busy shopping hub. There is still a small indoor market every week.
Kingley Woods is the only surviving ancient wood in the town, but this is rich in wildlife. Wheatley Wood is an area of broadleaved trees planted in the 1990s and both areas are great for dog walking and birdwatching.
Rayleigh has two secondary schools: Sweyne Park School and FitzWimarc School. It also has seven primary schools – Rayleigh Primary, Grove Wood, Down Hall, Edward Francis, Our Lady of Ransom (Catholic), and Wyburns.
St Nicholas Church of England Primary School, a long-established school for the adjoining village of Rawreth, was relocated in 2006 to a new building just on the outskirts of Rayleigh. Beauchamps High, an outstanding 11-18 comprehensive school, is in nearby Wickford.
If you are moving to Rayleigh, there are several estate agents clustered around the High Street that deal with sales and lettings. A selection of Chartered Surveyors are also in close proximity to the centre.
Central Rayleigh
A 1 bedroom flat, maisonette or retirement apartment in the centre of Rayleigh typically costs £250,000. Similar properties with two-bedrooms are available for £300,000.
London Hill
London Hill is a suburb on the outskirts of Rayleigh but still within walking distance of the station and high street shops. Here you will typically find semi-detached properties and a reasonable number of larger detached homes. A 5 bedroom house in London Hill costs £1m and the average price of a 3 bedroom semi is £300,000.
The Gattens
The Gattens is situated to the north east of Rayleigh, approximately 2 miles from the high street and is home to a selection of very impressive, uniquely designed properties.
A 4 bedroom home in the sought-after parkland setting of The Gattens has an average cost of £750,000, and you can also find many larger, exclusive homes with sprawling gardens in the same location for £1.5m or more.

Third-Party Cookies From Content Shared By Members: PropertyHeads members may share content on PropertyHeads that originates from a third-party website or service, and that third-party website or service may set its own cookies when you interact with that content.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
