Description

This period home is located in the centre of Brentwood between the station and Brentwood School. Dating from the 1920s, the house has some lovely features exemplified by high ceilings, tall windows and four floors of accommodation around a welcoming reception hall featuring a fine staircase.

A flight of stone steps lead to a set of double doors opening into an impressive reception hall. The hall features a high ceiling which can be seen in the principal rooms throughout the house, wall panelling and an attractive staircase and cloakroom at the far end.   Either side of the hall, with elevated vistas, are the two main reception rooms. The sitting room extends the full depth of the house, some 30 ft. The room includes a marble fireplace, restored pine floor, high ceilings and deep cornice. On the opposite side of the hall lies a games room which has glazed folding doors separating a traditional conservatory, set in an elevated position and enjoying a wide vista over central Brentwood.

From the hall there are stairs to the upper and lower floors. On the lower ground floor is the kitchen/breakfast room, over 30 ft in depth and fitted with off-white Shaker-style units with contrasting black granite tops anchored around a peninsular breakfast bar. The rear of the room has folding glazed doors opening out to the gardens. There is a large study overlooking the gardens, bathroom and a very useful store/utility room.

The bedrooms are located on the first and second floors. On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with two further double bedrooms and another bathroom on the second floor.

Outside
At the front is a wide independent drive and parking. The rear garden has a south-easterly aspect. Immediately behind the house is an elevated terrace, with access from the kitchen and study making for an area for al fresco dining in the warmer months. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, part walled and including many mature trees and shrubs.
