Leading estate agents, Beresfords, is marketing a boutique collection of one-two-bedroom luxury apartments, 'Garland Court', in a newly converted historic landmark pub formerly The Rising Sun, Billericay, Essex.

The Rising Sun opened in 1810 and was owned by the local brewhouse, Billericay Brewery. In 1830 the pub was sold as an individual lot and came onto the market again in 1898. Throughout the years the Rising Sun became a landmark pub thanks to its location on the main crossroads to London and Southend, which made it a popular destination for horse drawn carriages making their way to the coast and the city. After the advent of the railway The Rising Sun remained a popular establishment in Billericay until last orders were called in 2014.

Now homebuyers can snap up a historic slice of history and enjoy all of the benefits of twenty first century living plus superior levels of craftsmanship. Each apartment boasts designer fittings throughout, contemporary bathrooms and open plan sleek kitchens, dining and living room spaces.

Aaron Breakwell, Director, Beresfords Land and New Homes, says: "This select development has been sensitively designed from the outset, comprising a block of five completely new build homes and a block of eight homes within a carefully considered restoration of the former Rising Sun pub."

He continued: "Along with the charming exteriors, impeccably finished interiors and sophisticated specifications, all the homes within this genuinely unique development also boast on-site allocated parking - a very desirable asset for town centre living."

Garland Court is situated at the end of Billericay's bustling and ever-popular High Street. The town offers independent boutiques, cafes and award-winning restaurants. It's also walking distance of the main line station with just a 30-minute commute to London or a short drive to the UK's newest city, Chelmsford, which also boasts a new Bond Street shopping centre, which is home to a John Lewis, Everyman Cinema and a wide range of restaurants. Billericay is also surrounded by beautiful countryside, country parks and an array of golf courses and clubs.

The properties are priced from £295,000 for a one-bedroom apartment to £400,000 for a two-bedroom top-of-the-range apartment. To find out more about Garland Court, visit www.beresfords.co.uk.
