At Boydens, we’ve always believed that a home is more than bricks and mortar, it’s about community, connection, and the stories that shape the places we live. As a family-run estate and letting agency with roots going back to 1966, we know just how much local history matters.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new blog series: “Where History Meets Home” a journey through the rich and fascinating heritage of the towns where our offices are proudly based.

From Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town, to the artistic charm of Sudbury, the serene shores of Frinton-on-Sea, and the evolving energy of Chelmsford, each post will explore what makes these places special, not just historically, but as communities to live, grow and thrive in today.

Whether you're thinking of moving or simply love learning about the local area, we hope this series offers a fresh perspective and reminds you that at Boydens, our business is built on a family history of trust, with a deep connection to the places we call home.

Stay tuned as we uncover the stories behind your postcode.
