Stylish homes offer a good quality of life, in Brentwood
With the current economic climate forcing many people to endure longer working hours and greater financial pressures, the idea of the home being a safe haven in which homeowners can relax and enjoy their free time is becoming evermore important. Quality of life frequently tops the criteria list of those looking to make their next move, and with a recent Halifax survey ranking Brentwood 5th in a list of the best places to live in the UK, City & Country Group are offering local house hunters a brilliant opportunity to become a resident of this popular town, with its selection of luxury homes at the award-winning development, The Galleries.
Residents in top ranking areas such as Brentwood benefit from a combination of indicators, including, amongst others, high employment rates, above average health and life expectancy and low crime rates. The Grade II listed former Victorian hospital site, The Galleries, has been sensitively restored and converted into an impressive selection of luxury apartments. Boasting a unique blend of traditional features set amidst contemporary interior design, these homes offer the ideal base from which to enjoy all that Brentwood has to offer.
Located on the edge of the town, The Galleries provides a quiet oasis whilst being close to the diverse selection of restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops on the high street. Residents can enjoy the vast outdoor space offered by Thorndon Forest and Weald Country Park, each less than two miles away, and Brentwood train station is only a short walk from the development, providing a direct service into London Liverpool Street of just over half an hour.
David Walker, Head of Sales & Marketing at City & Country Group, comments: “Brentwood is a great town, offering a lively atmosphere and a wide variety of leisure and entertainment facilities, so it comes as no surprise that it achieved such a high ranking in the Halifax survey. Surrounded by wide open spaces and offering a direct train service into the capital, the town is equally appealing for city slickers wanting a home outside of the city as it is for house hunters wanting to enjoy the health benefits of a more outdoors lifestyle. The Galleries has been consistently popular with buyers of all ages, and we are pleased we have been able to – and continue to - help so many people live in this fantastic part of Essex.”
The one and two bedroom homes at The Galleries have been finished to an impeccable standard and offer the best of modern living in a unique historic setting.

These unique homes feature a selection of individually designed luxury kitchens with a mixture of finishes to suit, and bathrooms with white sanitaryware and chrome fittings. Top quality flooring has been provided throughout the properties, including 100% wool carpets, ceramic floor tiles and oak engineered flooring.
Set amidst picturesque landscape courtyard gardens, kept in pristine condition by a separate management company, residents at The Galleries can enjoy the luxury of the beautiful views without any of the usual maintenance responsibilities.
