Marian Vale

Forty new homes, set around a village green, on the edge of Elsenham.

Matthew Homes is creating these forty new homes, set just off Robin Hood Road, with footpath links to Rush Lane and the countryside beyond.

The village has The Crown at its heart, its own station, and open fields close by. A place where people still stop to say hello.
