With all that in mind, if we really had to list where to live in Ingatestone the following roads would certainly feature:

This highly sought-after residential private road has some large and impressive homes in a central location in Ingatestone. This street’s a favourite with buyers looking for a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere with easy access to local amenities.

Tucked off the High Street, Bell Mead Road is another excellent choice for those who want to be close to the centre of the village.

Fryerning is its own small village very closely linked to Ingatestone. There are some lovely woodlands here and a couple of pubs, but no shops. If you covet a rural lifestyle, be sure to investigate any available properties here.

This road links Fryerning to Ingatestone and runs through the centre of the latter. Ingatestone Infant School is found on this road which changes in character from leafy-lined country road to heart-of-Ingatestone itself. There is a mix of early 1900s homes to more contemporary builds available on Fryerning Lane and it’s certainly a road worth considering.

Back in Ingatestone itself, The Furlongs is a residential road popular with families. Ingatestone and Fryerning Church of England Junior School is found at one end and the High Street at the other, making this a sociable and convenient place to live.

The final road on our list (but keep in mind there are no places we’d discount in the area) is Roman Road. If you dream of looking out over farmland as far as the eye can see, keep an eye out for property available here. Still in easy reach of all the amenities and transport links you could need, Roman Road is a dream location for plenty of people living in Ingatestone.
