Open Homes workspaceAbout Brentwood
Brentwood is an Essex town that grew as a coaching stop on the old Roman road from London to Colchester. Its name refers to a clearing in the forest, and its historic High Street developed around inns, markets and travel. The arrival of the railway strengthened its role as a commuter town, while nearby countryside, schools and the Elizabeth line at Shenfield add to its appeal. Brentwood has a strong rental market for families and professionals seeking Essex living with London access.
