Hills Chace, Brentwood, CM14

If you are searching for a freehold house near Brentwood Station with parking, a garden, character and the ability to move straight in, this end-of-terrace cottage in Hills Chace could be exactly the kind of home you have been trying to find.

Available on a Guide Price of £475,000-£500,000, Hills Chace offers a rare combination for buyers wanting a Brentwood location that works for daily life. Set along a private road off Warley Mount, the property gives you a quieter tucked-away setting while still placing you within easy reach of Brentwood Station, the Elizabeth Line, Brentwood High Street, local schools, cafés, restaurants, gyms, shops and major road links.

For first-time buyers, this home offers something many are actively searching for: a freehold house instead of a leasehold flat. You have your own front door, your own garden, two parking spaces and the feeling of a proper home, without taking on the scale or upkeep of a much larger property.

For professional couples and commuters, the location is a major part of the appeal. Being close to Brentwood Station makes journeys into London easier, while the two parking spaces add everyday practicality for buyers who need car access alongside the train. For downsizers, the home offers a manageable layout, character, garden space and town-centre convenience without feeling like a compromise.

Inside, the property is ready to move into, with wooden flooring running throughout and plantation-style shutters to all windows, giving the home a warm, consistent and stylish feel.

The main living space is one of the standout features. A through lounge runs from front to rear, separated by an open staircase in the centre, which adds real character and helps define the room without closing it off. At one end, the living area is centred around a feature gas fireplace, creating a comfortable space for cosy evenings, relaxing after work or quieter weekends at home.

At the other end, the dining area provides plenty of space for a large dining table, making it ideal for buyers who enjoy entertaining, hosting family, working from home during the day or simply having a proper place to sit and eat. This room is a strong example of how the home blends cottage character with practical modern living.

The kitchen is fully fitted and well equipped, with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, electric oven and five-ring gas hob. For buyers wanting a home that is genuinely ready to move into, this is an important advantage. The practical setup means you can unpack and settle in without needing to immediately redesign or refit the main working areas of the house.

The bathroom is positioned downstairs, which is something buyers should be aware of, but it has been finished with a modern suite, floor-to-ceiling tiling, a bath with shower above and a skylight that brings in natural light. For the right buyer, the downstairs bathroom may be a worthwhile trade off accepting in return for the location, parking, freehold status, garden and overall character of the home. Especially with the potential to create an en-suite bathroom upstairs.

In total the property offers three bedrooms, with a third bedroom accessed from the main bedroom (currently being used as a dressing room). This creates a useful and flexible layout rather than a conventional three-bedroom arrangement. It could suit a couple wanting a dressing room, a nursery connected to the main sleeping space, a home office, hobby room, en-suite bathroom or additional storage. For buyers who need three completely independent bedrooms, this layout may not be the right fit, but for many first-time buyers, couples, downsizers or commuters, the flexibility could be ideal.

Outside, the long garden gives the home another major advantage over many apartments and smaller Brentwood properties. The patio area provides space for outdoor seating, summer dining and entertaining, while the length of the garden gives a real sense of outside space without needing to feel overly formal or difficult to maintain.

Parking is another key search-match feature. The property benefits from two spaces to the front, which is especially valuable so close to Brentwood Station and the town centre. For buyers asking for a house near the station but still needing parking for two cars, Hills Chace answers a very specific and common problem.

The local lifestyle is one of the reasons this home should appeal to a wide range of buyers. Brentwood High Street, Crown Street, cafés, restaurants, gyms and shops are all within reach, giving you the convenience of town-centre living. Brentwood Station and the Elizabeth Line support commuters, while road links including the A12, A127 and M25 are useful for those travelling around Essex and into London by car.

For buyers thinking longer term, local schooling will also matter. Holly Trees Primary School, Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School, Brentwood School and Brentwood County High School are all worth considering for those planning ahead, particularly professional couples who may be buying their first house now but thinking about future family life.

Green space is also part of the Brentwood lifestyle, with Thorndon Country Park, Warley and surrounding open spaces offering options for weekend walks, fresh air and time outdoors.

This is a home that solves several buyer problems at once. It gives first-time buyers a freehold alternative to a flat. It gives commuters a house near Brentwood Station with two parking spaces. It gives downsizers a manageable home with character and outside space. It gives professional couples a move-in ready property with room to work from home, entertain and plan ahead.

For buyers searching to find a two or three-bedroom freehold house near Brentwood Station with parking for two cars, a garden, character, schools nearby and a move-in ready finish, Hills Chace is exactly the kind of property that should be first on your list to view.

This is more than a cottage near the station.

It is a freehold Brentwood home with character, convenience and the practical features buyers are actively searching for.
