Set within approximately 8.5 acres of breathtaking parkland, the historic grounds of Danbury Palace offer a captivating blend of heritage and natural splendour. Encompassing ornamental gardens, tranquil lakes, ancient woodlands, and flourishing wildflower meadows, this remarkable estate is a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts. Originally established as a medieval deer park, the estate was acquired by Sir Walter Mildmay in 1589, who commissioned the first Danbury Palace. The present-day red-brick mansion, an exquisite example of Tudor Gothic architecture, was completed in 1832 and later served as the official residence of the Bishop of Rochester.

The landscaped gardens are meticulously arranged, featuring formal lawns, majestic specimen conifers and a series of garden “rooms” defined by clipped yew hedges and elegant topiary. These include a charming rose garden and a tennis court, reflecting the classical garden design of the mid-19th century.

Situated just moments from Danbury village, residents benefit from a wide array of local amenities, including a supermarket, boutique shops and a selection of inviting restaurants. The village also boasts numerous sports clubs and recreational facilities, while Danbury Park Primary School - rated 'Outstanding’' by Ofsted - is within easy walking distance. For those who cherish the outdoors, Danbury Country Park (managed by the National Trust), Blackwater Nature Reserve and rhs Hyde Hall provide a wealth of scenic landscapes and walking trails.

Secondary education is well catered for at Sandon School and Great Baddow High School, with a choice of private and grammar schools also available in the surrounding area. Commuters will appreciate convenient rail links into London Liverpool Street via Chelmsford or Ingatestone stations, and the forthcoming Beaulieu Park Station - anticipated to open in October 2025 - will further enhance connectivity to the capital.
