Three Fields is a ward on the edge of Braintree in Essex, England. It covers a mix of suburban streets and semi‑rural land; the name recalls an agricultural past and there are still open green spaces and playing fields that give parts of the ward a village‑like feel.
Housing is largely family‑oriented with a mix of private and council properties, served by local shops, schools and community facilities, while many residents commute to Braintree town centre, Chelmsford or London. The area has grown steadily as the town expanded and is noted more for its community activity and everyday local life than for major landmarks.
