Brentwood Acres, in the leafy area of Brentwood, Essex currently offers young professionals and those with growing families more value for money than other popular commuter towns in the Home Counties, without sacrificing on speed and ease of travel into the capital.
With two-bedroom terraced houses at Brentwood Acres starting at just £500,000, the development presents a significantly cheaper option to the average terraced home in similar green belt commuter locations within 30 miles of the capital, such as *Sevenoaks where a home costs 21% more (£607,259), Windsor 25% more (£626,347) and Weybridge a staggering 28% more (£638,479).
Last summer's launch of the Elizabeth Line significantly boosted the commutability of Brentwood, with trains to London Paddington every six minutes via Brentwood Station, getting commuters to Liverpool Street in under 40 minutes, and Canary Wharf in 45 minutes, 15-minutes quicker respectively than travel from Sevenoaks, and 25 – 30 minutes quicker than from Windsor and Weybridge.
Divisional Sales Director at Spicerhaart's Essex branch, Russell Davis, said: “Both Brentwood and its surrounding suburban towns like Warley are popular for all lifestyles including families and commuters, with its fantastic travel links into the city by both road and rail.
“Our agents have certainly noticed a lot more buyers moving into the area over the last few months, from parts of east London in particular. With plenty of good schools, green space, bars, restaurants and shopping facilities, and better value than rival hotspots, it's the perfect place to live outside of the capital while staying within easy reach of its hustle and bustle.”
Brentwood Acres, ideal for young couples, families and nature lovers

Now is a great time to buy at the development, with Fairview offering a fantastic incentive whereby buyers can have their deposits boosted by up to £30,000.**
Buyers at Brentwood Acres benefit from purchasing a new-build property that needs no additional expense spent on energy-saving renovations. All the houses benefit from a minimum EPC rating of B, and many have air source heat pumps and solar panels, allowing for additional savings on utility bills. Thanks to all of this, savings of up to £2,600 per year on energy bills can be had on properties at Brentwood Acres, and up to £3,100 when the government energy price cap rises in July.***
Along with substantial saving opportunities, first-time buyers and young families alike can enjoy the lifestyle that comes in tandem with living in Brentwood, with the development being surrounded by stunning woodland, parks, ponds and tree-lined pedestrian trails, as well as a fantastic selection of schools for families to choose from.
