Herongate

A beautifully presented handsome Georgian residence enjoying glorious views over the cricket pitch with grounds of 0.23 acres (stls)

What we say at The Zoe Napier Group

Aesthetically is really doesn’t get any better than this! As we approached this handsome home we all fell in love with it, internally the reception rooms offer grandeur, combined with sumptuous period detailing, whilst the bedroom configuration has been cleverly redesigned to create two excellent suites with their own en suites and walk in wardrobes. Situated in a quiet tucked away location overlooking the cricket pitch, it is a wonderful location to raise a family and with Brentwood’s railway station within a short drive, it is perfect for any discerning commuters that require easy access into London’s city centre.

What the owners say

To say that Maxes has been a labour of love for us would be somewhat of an understatement! We purchased the property 13 years ago when it was virtually derelict, and it took 5 gruelling years of meticulous refurbishment to create what has been a wonderful home to raise our three children. All but one of our children have now left home, so we have made the decision to downsize and allow another family to enjoy this beautiful home.

History & Background

This attractive double bay fronted Grade II listed Georgian residence boasts an abundance of charm and character and is believed to have originally been two cottages that were cleverly amalgamated into one spacious five-bedroom home.

Having been extensively refurbished in recent years the property retains much of it’s original glorious character and benefits from the additions of facilities required for modern day family living. The accommodation on offer is as impressive, with two generous principal reception rooms boasting wonderful bay windows overlooking the cricket pitch and are complemented by the snug, utility room and kitchen/ breakfast room that seamlessly extend into the grounds, perfect for al fresco dining! The first floor benefits from five double bedrooms, two of which are suites with their own en suite and dressing area/ walk in wardrobes and a luxury family bathroom.

The grounds are a particular feature of the property, incredibly secluded and beautifully landscaped, incorporating a useful detached office that could easily be utilised as an annexe (if required, stp) and extend to 0.23 acres (stls).
