Herongate

An attractive Un-listed detached 19^th Century residence enjoying glorious views over the cricket pitch and grounds of 0.26 acres (stls)

What we say at The Zoe Napier Group

In terms of location is really doesn’t get any better than this! Tucked away in a tranquil location overlooking the cricket pitch within the highly sought after Herongate, this property offers a wonderful opportunity to refurbish/ extend (stp) and create a spectacular family home. With Brentwood’s railway station located a short drive away, it will appeal to discerning commuters that require easy access into London’s city centre.

What the owners say

Our mother and late father lived at the property for over fifty years and loved the house. Our mother created a beautiful back garden, which could be maintained now without too much labour. Because the cricket green lies between the property and the main road, it is very peaceful - and nearby Thorndon Park is fantastic for scenic country walks. Unfortunately, my mother’s health has recently deteriorated so she has reluctantly decided to move in with me, which will allow us to offer the property for sale with no onward chain.
