5 bedroom detached house for sale

An imposing & aspirational unlisted country residence within a short drive of Brentwood station on grounds of 0.28 acres (stls)

What we say at The Zoe Napier Group

It is evident from the outset that this property was constructed to the highest quality over 130 years ago, with the natural light in the house reflective of the well-thought-out design. Having formerly been utilised as two separate homes the property would appeal to a multi-generational family, whilst being within a five-minute drive of Brentwood’s railway station and the town’s plethora of amenities would appeal to any discerning commuters that require easy access into London.  

What the owners say

My father fell in love with this property the moment he saw it in the 1960’s and tried to acquire it for many years. Ultimately, he was successful and lived there very happily in one wing, whilst my brother resided in the other. I have some wonderful memories here and enjoyed many social occasions in the secluded grounds, so will be sad to see the house go but the time has come for another family to breath live into this wonderful home and for ease, I have decided to offer it for sale with no onward chain.

History & Background
