3 bed detached house for sale

Parkwood, Doddinghurst Road, Brentwood CM15

Tucked away along Doddinghurst Road, this beautifully presented three-bedroom detached home enjoys a serene semi-rural position surrounded by open countryside. The property occupies a delightful plot approaching a quarter of an acre and offering both privacy and scenic views, open fields to the front and tranquil woodland to the rear.

Despite its peaceful setting, the location is wonderfully convenient, just a short drive from Shenfield and Brentwood, where you’ll find high street shopping, a great choice of restaurants and cafés, and rail services directly into London. Doddinghurst Village is also nearby, providing day-to-day essentials including schools, local shops, and a Tesco Express.

Behind electric security gates, the home is approached via a generous driveway and includes a variety of outbuildings, notably a large oak barn/workshop with electric roller shutters and a double-length garage, offering excellent storage or workspace options.

A charming entrance with ivy-covered canopy leads into a welcoming hallway centred around a bespoke wrought iron staircase. The home features two elegant and versatile reception rooms, filled with natural light and fitted with deep windowsills and decorative radiator covers. The main living area offers under-stairs storage, while the second reception, currently arranged as a lounge/dining room, features an impressive brick Inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove and French doors opening out to the rear garden, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with limed oak units, quarry-tiled flooring, and plenty of worktop space. There’s also a utility room with provision for appliances, an additional WC, and direct access to the garden. The existing layout, while open and flowing, could easily be reconfigured to reinstate two separate rooms, ideal for anyone needing a study, playroom, or extra bedroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes and the rear bedroom benefiting from hanging rails, making it perfect for conversion into a dressing room if desired. The family bathroom is finished to an exceptional standard, featuring Limestone and Maron marble tiling, a luxurious oval bath with a central mixer tap and shower attachment, and a separate walk-in shower enclosure.

The rear garden is a true highlight, completely private and beautifully landscaped, with lush lawns, mature trees, and colourful planting. A covered Jacuzzi area and sheltered seating space offer wonderful spots for outdoor relaxation. To the rear, the impressive oak barn/workshop includes a covered log store, with two further outbuildings attached to the garage, all benefiting from electric roller shutters.

Additional features include ample off-road parking, remote-controlled gates, and a hard-wired CCTV system for added security. There is also excellent potential to create a self-contained annexe (STPP), either through conversion of the existing outbuildings or by constructing a new dwelling within the grounds.

This exceptional property combines rural tranquillity with modern convenience and offers endless possibilities for those seeking space, charm, and flexibility in a desirable Brentwood location.
