Crocus Fields is a stunning development by Abbey Homes located in the vibrant town of Saffron Walden, which is rich in heritage and the jewel in the crown of North West Essex. Situated just off the M11 and only 16.5 miles from Cambridge and 14 miles from London Stansted Airport, it offers an ideal location for commuting to Cambridge or London, and for business or holiday flights.

Crocus Fields is ideally situated in the rural North of the town only about a mile from the picturesque medieval centre Audley End Railway Station to the South West of the town offers rail destinations including London Liverpool Street, Cambridge, Peterborough and Birmingham New Street. The town is also well served by buses, to the station, Cambridge and elsewhere. There are several local schools, generally with very favourable Ofsted ratings. The nearest includes St Mary's Primary in Castle Street, while R A Butler Infants and Junior and St Thomas More Catholic Primary are not far away in South Road. Saffron Walden has a community hospital providing many services, while the main NHS Hospital is Addenbrooke's in Cambridge.

Shoppers are spoilt for choice here, with a Waitrose in the centre, a large Tesco on the outskirts, and an open market on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Held since 1141, the market won the 'Best Small Outdoor Market' award in 2018, and is especially popular for its Saturday food stalls. A healthy mix of shops and branches of national retailers meets virtually every need. When it is time for a break, there are a tempting choice of eateries, and pleasant small gardens in which to relax. The town also boasts an independent, award winning cinema showing mainstream and art house films, a museum and art galleries. The main sports facility in Saffron Walden is the Lord Butler Fitness and Leisure Centre, with its two swimming pools, squash and tennis courts, health suite, gym and crèche.
