Fitzroy Place: A development buyers couldn’t wait to call home
Nestled in the historic village of Blackmore in Essex, Fitzroy Place has become one of the most sought-after new housing developments, resulting in a significant proportion of homes being sold within a relatively short period of time.
Built by award-winning developers, Anderson, Fitzroy Place comprises just 26 private homes, consisting of two, three, four and five bedroom houses and bungalows. Each new home was carefully designed to reflect the character of the village, whilst incorporating modern energy-efficent features, including air source heat pumps, solar panels and EV charging points.
One of the key attractions of Fitzroy Place is the location. Picturesque Blackmore is surrounded by countryside yet within easy reach of transport links. Shenfield station, around five miles away, provides services into London on the Elizabeth Line, making the development attractive to both commuters and families seeking a village lifestyle.

Fitzroy Place has created a strong sense of community and there is plenty of open space to enjoy, including the village green which plays host to community activities and events. Combined with traditional architectural styling, high-specification interiors, and proximity to local amenities, these desirable homes appealed to a broad range of buyers, from young families to downsizers.
Steve Lillistone, Associate Partner, who marketed the development commented “The sales performance demonstrates just how well-received Fitzroy Place has been. The majority were sold off-plan and demand continued at a strong pace, with properties quickly being marked as sold subject to contract shortly after marketing commenced. Following the success of Chilton Place in Sudbury, it was great to work alongside the team at Anderson once again.”
Fitzroy Place won industry recognition last year, winning Medium Housing Scheme category of the Essex Housebuilder Awards – highlighting both the quality of construction and thoughtful design that have proved so popular with purchasers.
This is a notable success story, with a combination of village charm, sustainable features and excellent transport connections, this carefully curated collection of homes clearly resonated with buyers looking for premium property in one of Essex’s most desirable rural areas.
