Little Common is a small residential locality on the outskirts of the market town of Braintree in Essex, England. It sits close to open countryside and retains a semi-rural feel, with a mix of housing and stretches of common or green space that reflect its historic use for grazing and local recreation.
Locally the area is tied into Braintree’s amenities and community life - shops, pubs, clubs and the town’s market - while many residents commute further afield using good road and rail links to Chelmsford and London. The neighbourhood feels quietly residential but benefits from the historic character and local economy of the wider Braintree area, combining easy access to services with proximity to Essex’s agricultural landscape.
