Prime Location
Downs Road is close to Maldon Quay - rich in history, sailing barges and leisure activities. Maldon is a lively former market town on the River Blackwater and Chelmer, which dates back to Anglo-Saxon times and is famous, among other things, for its sea salt and the traditional Thames sailing barges that use it as their home port, viewable from the house.
Maldon offers a range of sailing facilities including Maldon Yacht Club and Saltcote Sailing Club. Shopping and leisure facilities include a Marks & Spencer’s and three other major supermarkets, a wide range of shops and several restaurants. There is also a preparatory school (Maldon Court) near the centre of the town.
