Dating back to the early 1900s, these characterful cottages were originally built for commuters — and over 100 years later, their appeal has only grown. With Brentwood Station just a short stroll away, now on the Elizabeth Line, this home is perfectly placed for quick access into Liverpool Street, the West End, and Heathrow. For weekends, Brentwood High Street is also within walking distance, offering an excellent choice of cafés, restaurants, gyms, and shops — giving you a lifestyle that’s both well-connected and vibrant. Guide Price: £425,000-£450,000.
Inside, the house flows naturally from front to back. The open-plan through lounge offers a versatile living space, with a bright front sitting area centred around an exposed brick fireplace and a dining area at the rear for entertaining.
The modern kitchen is a real highlight: sleek navy cabinetry finished with brass handles and smooth, Italian Quartz, worktops, all complemented by handmade floor and wall tiles. High-quality integrated Bosch appliances, along with a Blomberg fridge and freezer, ensure practicality as well as style.
Upstairs, the property has two good size bedrooms, including a main bedroom with built-in wardrobes and plantation shutters, giving a smart and timeless finish. The bathroom combines traditional and modern design with Fired Earth floor tiles, crisp white subway wall tiles, a separate shower cubicle, an oval bathtub, and a modern vanity sink unit with storage.
Outside, the property features a low-maintenance courtyard garden to the rear, plus handy additional storage beneath the house — once used as a coal bunker when the property was first built. A small front garden provides kerb appeal, while residents can apply for permit parking via the local council (two permits per household).
For first-time buyers concerned about space, maintenance, or resale — this cottage offers the reassurance of a well-updated home with modern fixtures like the gorgeous kitchen and sumptuous bathroom, as well as double glazing and a combo-boiler. This house provides efficient use of space, and a location that will always be in demand, making it not only a great first step on the property ladder but also a sound long-term investment or rental opportunity.
