Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Weatherboarded Victorian cottage, originally built circa 1860 as a tied cottage for workers at the local brewery (currently the Brewery Tap pub)
  • Located in central Brentwood on a quiet, access-only street, lined with trees and greenery
  • Character features throughout, including original feature fireplace and exposed beams
  • Secluded south-westerly facing garden
  • Off street parking for two vehicles
  • Spacious detached garage
  • Minutes from both Brentwood Station and Brentwood High Street
  • Scope to extend upstairs (subject to planning permission)
This character cottage is located in a much sought after location in central Brentwood, only a 3 minute stroll from trendy Crown Street with its array of independent shops (including a refill shop for eco-living), and a further 2 minutes to the buzzing High Street filled with an abundance of both chain and independent shops, bars, cafés, and restaurants. The station (approx. 30 minutes to Stratford, and 40 minutes to London Liverpool Street) is a five minute walk, and is a part of the new Elizabeth Line, due to fully launch later this year, when trains will run directly into central London. There is good access to the M25/A12 Motorway Intersection by car and the property is within walking distance of good schools such as Brentwood Private School, Holly Trees, St Thomas’s and St Helen’s Primary School along with Becket Keys Senior School (all located within 0.9 miles). Merrymeade Country Park is located within 0.8 miles and the newly refurbished King George’s Playing Fields incorporating Hartswood Woods and Thorndon Country Park is only a short walk away.

Situated in the heart of Brentwood, this quaint Victorian semi-detached cottage was originally built circa 1860 as a tied cottage for workers at the nearby brewery (currently the Brewery Tap pub). The property is fully modernised, with gas central heating throughout, as well as energy efficient and cheap-to-run Hitachi wall-mounted heat pump / air-conditioning units in the main living space and bedrooms that can be used in conjunction with, or as a cheaper alternative to, the gas central heating.

The property offers ample living space downstairs. A roomy entrance hall (with shoe / coat closet), leads to the spacious lounge with an original feature brick fireplace and exposed beam work. Both have solid oak wood flooring. The downstairs bathroom with Heritage suite is also located off the entrance hall. The country-style kitchen is accessed from the lounge through the original back door (complete with original glass) of the cottage, and has been fitted with granite work surfaces, a butler sink, a range cooker (dual fuel, gas and electric), and a dishwasher. Accessed from both the kitchen and the lounge is a dining room (currently also being used as a second seating area) overlooking the leafy south-westerly facing garden. To the rear of the property, a guest bedroom cum second reception / playroom has a built-in pull-down bed which can be used for visitors, allowing them privacy away from the main hub of the house, and then packed away behind sympathetically-styled wood panelling when not needed. A further walk-in cupboard at the end of this room is triple-insulated and currently being used as a larder. Also on the ground floor there is a utility area with built-in cupboards and space for a washing machine and a full length freezer.

A unique and original feature of this property is the doored staircase that leads from the living room to the tucked away cottage-style stairs. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, all of which have large fitted wardrobes / cupboards. The master bedroom currently houses a super king bed. A particularly attractive feature of this property is the upstairs shower room, which many character cottages of this size do not have. The possibility exists to extend this shower room at the back of the property to create a larger family bathroom as well as adding an additional bedroom with en-suite over the garage (subject to planning permission) if a larger upstairs were desired. The property is neither listed, nor in a conservation area, and so making changes to the property is not subject to any special restrictions.

Given the shortage of on-road parking in central Brentwood, another appealing feature of this property is the spacious detached garage (which could easily be used as a home office, having a radiator and electricity already installed) and drive with space for at least two vehicles. The property also enjoys a secluded south-westerly facing rear garden with patio areas, shrub beds, summer house (with electricity), and laid to lawn. Character properties in this location, and the opportunity to own a slice of Brentwood history that they afford, rarely come on to the market in this price bracket. EPC D (ID BES210429)

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 22, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 22, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
