About
If you are searching for a spacious four-bedroom period family home in Brentwood with plenty of character, parking for two cars, easy access to Brentwood Station and good schools nearby, then this rare opportunity to acquire a Victorian Villa on Westbury Road is exactly the kind of property that should be at the top of your list.
Available on a Guide Price of £875,000-£900,000, this freehold semi-detached Victorian Villa offers the long-term family home many Brentwood buyers are trying to find.
It combines the charm and proportions of an older property with the practical features modern family life demands: Four good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, an en-suite to the primary bedroom, a downstairs cloakroom, two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, separate utility space, off-street parking and a long private garden.
For families, this is a home that solves several important problems at once.
You have the space to grow, the school options nearby, the garden for children and entertaining, and the convenience of being close to Brentwood High Street, Brentwood Station and local amenities.
For professional couples planning ahead, it offers the kind of home that can support the next stage of life without needing to move again in a few years.
From the moment you step inside, the period character is clear.
Wooden flooring runs throughout the downstairs, while working period fireplaces, ceiling roses, cornicing and sash windows bring warmth, detail and a sense of history that is difficult to replicate in newer homes.
The front reception room is a beautiful family living space, with a large bay window allowing natural light to fill the room and a working period fireplace creating a natural focal point.
It is the kind of room that works for family evenings, quiet Sundays, Christmas mornings and the everyday moments that make a house feel like home.
A second reception room gives the property further flexibility. For some buyers, this could be a formal dining room, children’s playroom, snug, home office or second sitting room.
For families who need separate spaces rather than one large open-plan area, this layout gives everyone room to spread out while still feeling connected.
To the rear, the modern kitchen/diner is designed for the way families actually live.
The breakfast bar and dining area creates a natural place for morning coffee, children’s homework, casual meals or conversation while cooking.
This is the kind of kitchen that works for busy school mornings, weekend entertaining and relaxed family life. A separate utility room in the basement adds another important layer of practicality.
For family buyers, utility space is often one of the difference-makers, keeping laundry, appliances and everyday clutter away from the main living areas.
The downstairs cloakroom is another key feature for family life and guests, adding convenience that buyers often specifically search for when looking for a long-term family home.
Upstairs, the home continues to deliver with four good bedrooms.
The primary bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite bathroom with a double walk-in shower, giving parents a private space away from the main family bathroom.
The remaining bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests, working from home or future family needs.
The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, meaning the home offers 2.5 bathrooms in total - an important practical advantage for busy mornings, older children, visiting guests and everyday family routines.
Outside, the long private garden is another major part of the appeal.
With a patio area, lawn and mature planting, it offers space for children to play, summer entertaining, gardening, relaxing and outdoor family life.
It gives the home that valuable sense of breathing room while still being close to the town centre.
To the front, driveway parking for two cars solves one of the biggest challenges buyers often face when searching for a character home close to Brentwood Station.
There is no garage, but the driveway, internal space, utility area and garden provide strong everyday practicality, especially for buyers who prioritise parking and living space over garage storage.
The location is one of the strongest search-match features.
Westbury Road is well placed for families who want access to local schools, with Holly Trees Primary School, Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School, Brentwood School and Brentwood County High School all worth considering.
For commuters, Brentwood Station provides Elizabeth Line and mainline services into London, while the A12, A127 and M25 are also accessible for road connections.
Brentwood High Street, Crown Street, cafés, restaurants, gyms, shops and everyday amenities are all within reach, giving the home a lifestyle that works beyond the school run and commute.
When you want green space, Warley, Thorndon Country Park and South Weald offer weekend walks, fresh air and family time outdoors.
This is a home for buyers who are not simply looking for four bedrooms.
It is for buyers who want a long-term family home with character, space, parking, schools, commuting links and the ability to walk into town.
For buyers searching to find a spacious four-bedroom semi-detached period family home in Brentwood with parking for two cars, two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, utility room, en-suite, downstairs cloakroom, garden, schools nearby and access to Brentwood Station, Westbury Road is exactly the kind of property that should be number one on the list.
This is a proper Brentwood family home - full of character, ready to move into, and positioned for the way family life really works.
