Fabulous forever homes at award-winning Fitzroy Place
With over 80% of the development now sold, Fitzroy Place is a stylish collection of beautifully crafted homes nestled in the picturesque village of Blackmore in the heart of the south Essex countryside.
This development was recently recognised by the Essex Housebuilder Awards 2025, where Fitzroy Place won the best Medium Housing Scheme – a fantastic achievement for Anderson, who have an enviable reputation for building high quality new homes and crafting communities.
Steve Lillistone commented “I was delighted to hear that Anderson had scooped another well-deserved award. Fitzroy Place is an exceptional collection of sustainable new homes that have been designed in a traditional architectural style yet are packed full of the latest features and finished to a high specification. It is no wonder that properties here have proved popular with buyers.”
Anderson build homes with energy-efficiency in mind, with air source heat pumps, PV panels, electric vehicle charging points and low-energy lighting. Finishes include Siemens appliances, Amtico flooring and high-end Nobilia fitted kitchens, with underfloor heating to the ground floor.
Fitzroy Place is just 9 miles from Chelmsford, making it the perfect retreat for commuters. Centred around the village green and duck pond, there is an annual village fair and strong sense of community, meaning it is ideally suited to family living – with some highly regarded schools nearby.
Blackmore is a charming hamlet which has been named ‘Essex’s Best Kept Village’ and ‘Essex Village of the Year’ on multiple occasions. The village hall and adjacent sports and social club are home to many local clubs including cricket, football, netball and tennis. There are also preschool clubs, dance and drama groups, scouts, brownies and fitness classes.
With good local connections to London, Fitzroy Place is well-positioned for access to the city, countryside and coast. Crossrail’s eastern terminus is in Shenfield, just 5 miles away, providing a fast and frequent service to the City and West End.
