    Are you looking for something central? There's a huge amount of 1930s semi-det in the Moulsham area, and many 2-bed victorian terraces too.

    Or springfield near the grammar schools has a few 1930s detached (1st - 4th Avenues). Probably quieter than Moulsham.


    Or something more rural?

    Writtle, if you don't need to be too central.

    Friend lives in Springfield and likes it a lot (she gets a bus or walks to station). Can't tell you about schools, only on area reputation as I know it.
