About

Great Baddow South & West is a residential suburb situated on the southern side of the River Chelmer, directly across from the city centre. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily from the mid-20th century, with numerous cul-de-sacs and quiet streets. It is served by local shopping parades providing everyday essentials, with larger retail options a short drive away. The neighbourhood is functional and well-connected, with regular bus links into Chelmsford.

A network of footpaths, including those along the riverbank and through the adjacent Baddow Meads, provides access to green space.
