Homes
Stansted Mountfitchet grew in clear stages. Medieval, Georgian and Victorian houses survive around Lower Street, Chapel Hill and Bentfield Green, and the parish has three conservation areas. The Mountfitchet Estate brought council housing in the 1950s, followed by the Hargrave Estate, Blythwood Gardens, Cannons Mead and Wetherfield in the 1960s and 1970s. Since 2000 the principal additions have been Foresthall Park with 715 homes, Walpole Meadows and Elms Farm. Older cottages tend to have no driveway and restricted rear access, while the post-war and recent estates generally allow loading from a drive or parking area.
