Broomfield is a suburb just north of the centre of Chelmsford in Essex, England, originally a small village that has largely become a residential area within the city’s commuter belt. It sits close to the main urban amenities and benefits from good transport links via Chelmsford station, while retaining a quieter, leafy character with a mix of family homes, local shops and schools.
Notable local features include Broomfield Park with its historic Broomfield House and walled garden, and the large Broomfield Hospital, a major employer and healthcare hub for the area. There’s an engaged local community with conservation volunteers and occasional park events, so the neighbourhood combines suburban convenience with a sense of local history and green space.
