WELCOME to BRENTWOOD Surrounded by beautiful rolling Essex countryside, Brentwood lies a few miles beyond the M25 and just 20 miles from central London. Roads were the key to Brentwood s past: this is where the Roman road from London to Colchester crossed the pilgrim routes from the Midlands and East Anglia to Canterbury. The ruins of a 13th-century chapel, built in memory of the martyred saint Thomas Becket, and medieval buildings in the high street tell of the town s importance as an ancient trading and staging post. Brentwood School Coronation Playing Fields Today, Brentwood stands to be one of the major beneficiaries of Crossrail, with the town s northern suburb of Shenfield chosen for the eastern terminus. This makes Brentwood a hot property tip, as the new cross-london rail route now has secure funding and the Shenfield service will be running by 2018. Brentwood School, a popular private school in the town, is a big draw for parents. Its grand redbrick buildings on Ingate Road are set within large grounds where a new sixth-form centre and 400-seat theatre designed by architects Cottrell & Vermeulen will make a striking addition to the townscape.

THE investment OPPORTUNITY Bishops Court represents an exceptional Buy-to-Let investment opportunity in Brentwood, one of the areas seeing significant regeneration as part of the 15.8bn Crossrail project London s largest transport project in over 20 years. Nothing boosts the value of homes more than a major transport upgrade, and from 2019 Brentwood will be served by the capital s new Crossrail line (run by Hong Kong s MTR Corporation) and will benefit from reduced commuting times, better and more frequent trains plus a direct link to the West End and to Heathrow Airport.
