Period Cottage
Three Bedrooms
Period Cottage
Rear Garden in excess of 100ft
Within easy reach of the M25 & A12
Perfectly positioned for those seeking a balance between comfort, convenience and outdoor space, this property offers a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you step inside. The spacious lounge is bright and welcoming, featuring a character fireplace, modern laminate flooring and a pair of double doors that open directly onto the garden, making it an ideal spot for both relaxing and entertaining. The layout flows naturally into the kitchen, which benefits from dual-aspect windows and a practical design that includes a good range of base and wall units, space for freestanding appliances, a stainless steel sink and easy-to-maintain worktops.
A small inner hallway leads from the kitchen, giving access to the bathroom, a lean-to with additional garden access, and a dedicated utility cupboard that neatly houses laundry appliances. The bathroom is simply arranged, with a panelled bath and shower above, pedestal washbasin, WC and side-facing window. The lean-to offers further flexibility and links the indoor space directly to the rear garden.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a single, which is suited to a child's room, study, or guest accommodation. The largest bedroom faces the front, the second double faces the side, and the single faces the rear. All provide a calm and comfortable sleeping space, with double-glazed windows, modern flooring, good natural light, and a simple, neutral finish throughout.
One of the most notable features of this home is the exceptionally long rear garden, which extends well beyond 100ft and still offers generous outdoor space, even with the potential for future development. The garden backs onto peaceful allotments, enhancing the sense of privacy and tranquillity, and making it ideal for families, garden lovers or anyone simply seeking outdoor space to unwind. There is also planning history for a two-storey extension, which has now lapsed, but sets a clear precedent for those considering future expansion, subject to relevant permissions.
Adding further value and comfort, the home was awarded a government energy efficiency grant following a professional surveyor’s inspection. The result was the installation of an advanced insulated external facade by Alumasc, a respected Swiss company known for durable, high-performance solutions. This external insulation significantly improves heat retention and minimises energy loss, helping to reduce utility bills while supporting a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.
To the front, a neat stone driveway provides off-street parking, while the freehold status offers long-term peace of mind. The home is well connected with gas central heating and double glazing, offering reliable and efficient living.
The location adds even more appeal, especially for those looking for a quiet yet convenient setting. Brentwood Station is approximately a 20-minute walk away, giving direct access into London via the Elizabeth Line, while Brentwood town centre is nearby, offering a broad range of shops, restaurants, cafés and essential services. The property is also within catchment of five highly regarded schools, making it particularly suitable for families with school-age children. Despite its excellent connections, the road remains semi-rural in feel, providing a peaceful escape from busy town life.
Nature lovers and those who enjoy outdoor activities will also appreciate the close proximity to local green spaces. Weald Country Park is just a 5-minute drive away and offers over 25 acres of pastures, wooded areas, lakes and walking routes—perfect for family outings or peaceful strolls. St. George’s Park is also nearby, providing further space to enjoy fresh air and nature without venturing far from home.
Altogether, this character-filled cottage blends charm, energy efficiency, potential to extend, and a location that suits both families and commuters alike. Whether you're starting out, looking to downsize, or seeking a home that offers future flexibility, this property is a strong contender in a highly desirable part of Brentwood.
