Features and description
Built in 1929, this Four Bedroom, Three Reception Room, fully Detached character house boasts a due South facing and thus always sunny, 100ft Garden and is situated in the hugely sought after 'Old Hartswood' area of Brentwood, nicely positioned along a most desirable tree lined and peaceful residential road.
Its first class location will be of equal interest to Commuters and Families alike, as it is just 0.7 mile from Brentwood Railway Station, 0.8 mile from the High Street, literally seconds from King Georges Playing Fields and its adjoining 73 acre 'Hartswood' woodland (itself next to Hartswood Golf Course and part of the larger Thorndon Country Park), and under 0.7 mile from Brentwood County High Secondary School, Brentwood Ursuline School for Girls, Brentwood Private School and the primary schools Hogarth and Warley.
The property itself has a detached Garage and enough room to park two cars on the Drive, with inside, the accommodation comprising to the ground floor a nice size Hall with ground floor WC Room, large Lounge with feature Victorian Fireplace, Dining Room with a feature Limnestone Fireplace, large Conservatory, fitted Kitchen and a sizeable extension (behind the garage) which houses a Lobby, big Utility Room and a surprisingly large 3rd Reception Room - this 'wing' could make a great Annexe. Upstairs are the four bedrooms and the Bathroom.

THE AREA
'Hartswood' itself is a large ancient woodland of some 73 acres, now owned and managed by Brentwood Council, although dating back to at least the 7th century when it was owned by Barking Abbey. It forms part of the Thorndon Country Park and adjoins other sites including Donkey Lane Plantation, Little Warley Common and King George's Playing Fields - a large park with formal gardens, a big children's play area, a sensory garden and various sports facilities and providing the entrance to Hartswood Golf Course.
Although known locally as 'Old Hartswood', the areas comes under 'Warley', a ward of Brentwood.
