About

Gosfield & Greenstead Green is a predominantly rural ward located to the north of Braintree town. The area encompasses the large village of Gosfield and the smaller settlement of Greenstead Green, along with surrounding farmland and woodland. The landscape is characterised by open fields and scattered farmsteads, with a network of narrow country lanes connecting the communities. Residential development is mostly contained within the established village boundaries.

The ward is centred around Gosfield Lake, a large body of water created from former gravel workings. This lake is now part of a private country club and golf course, influencing the local environment. The historic Gosfield Hall, a Grade I listed manor house set in its own parkland, is a significant local landmark. Community life focuses on the village halls, the local primary school, and the parish churches in this quiet part of the Essex countryside.
