About

Three Fields is a residential ward located on the eastern side of Braintree town. The area is characterised by modern housing developments, primarily built from the late 20th century onwards. It contains a mix of detached and semi-detached homes, along with some smaller terraced properties. The layout is typical of suburban planning, with cul-de-sacs and connecting roads. Local amenities include a primary school and a community centre serving the immediate neighbourhood.

The ward is bordered by agricultural land to the east, providing open views. A notable local feature is the presence of the Three Fields Green, a sizeable area of managed public grassland used for recreation. Road connections lead directly into Braintree town centre and towards the A120. The area is functionally residential, with most services and employment found in the wider town rather than within the ward boundaries.
