As the A128 winds its way from West Horndon to Brentwood, it passes through the pretty village of Herongate.

Here on the main road we find this 4 Bedroom Detached House with its 25ft attached Garage, set well back behind remote controlled electric gates. Once the young laurel hedge establishes, this and the gates will ensure privacy and security.

The property also boasts a very sunny South-West facing Garden incorporating a mini heated swimming pool, Garden Cabin and a lovely backdrop of tall trees in the Garden behind, in turn edging Thorndon Park Golf Curse behind it.

Inside has been newly redecorated with new grey carpets throughout the upstairs and two newly refitted Bathrooms too.

There's a huge Grand Hall, 26ft Lounge/Diner, 11ft Dining Room, 21ft Edwardian style Kitchen/Breakfast Room and a lobby off the Hall accessing a ground floor Loo and the Garage (great scope for conversion!).

Upstairs are the four big double bedrooms, a gorgeous new Ensuite Shower Room to the Master Bedroom and the Main Bathroom, also newly refitted, this time with a nod to the Art Deco era.

Herongate boasts its own Cricket Green (every good village should have one!), two great historic local pubs, a Petrol Station incorporating a 'M&S Simply Food' Supermarket, a further 'Premier' Convenience store, local garden centre and a good Primary School in the adjoining village of Ingrave

Just a short drive away is the A127 and Shenfield Railway Station is an easy 8-9 minute drive (Liverpool Street in 28 minutes).

Next to the village is Thorndon Country Park and Thorndon Park Golf Club, and Brentwood High Street is just a short 5-6 minute drive up the Brentwood Road.

THE AREA - HERONGATE

Herongate is an ancient village just south of Brentwood, dating back to the Saxon period and taking its present name from the Heron family who held the nearby Heron Hall until the 14th century.

It has evolved and developed along the edge of Ingrave Common to now, a much sought after village with countryside all around and a good range of amenities:

A traditional Village Green - Ingrave Common, now the Cricket Green.

Two good local pubs - The Grade II Listed Boar's Head which dates back to the Tudor times and overlooks the village pond close to 'Button Common' and 'The Green Man', a 17th Century listed building, originally a greengrocers until it became a pub in 1840, serving estate workers from the nearby Thorndon Hall

A BP Petrol Station incorporating a handy 'M&S Simply Food' Supermarket, plus an even closer 'Premier' Convenience store.

There is also a family owned garden centre - Hillcrest Nurseries, and even a dental surgery!
