A mate moved to Ardleigh for similar reasons to the ones you listed. The commute to work seems to fairly good as those sort of commutes go.
No personal experience but that part of the world seems like the sort of place you'd want to be in the surrounding towns and villages - a bit like moving to Aylesbury vs somewhere else in Bucks.
