ESSEX’S property group, Beresfords, has officially launched the show home at Vicarage Wood – an exclusive collection of eight bespoke family properties created by developer, Journey Homes.
On track for completion in the coming weeks, the gated development located at Frenches Farm on Wigley Bush Lane, Brentwood, has drawn inspiration from the neighbouring St Peter’s Church and has been built using traditional craftsmanship delivered by skilled tradespeople across Essex and Suffolk.
Bespoke French roof tiles and meticulous attention to detail ensure the homes complement the character of the village, with local residents and visiting dignitaries praising the development for blending seamlessly into its surroundings.
Each four-bedroom home has been finished to an exceptionally high specification, combining traditional architecture with modern technologies. All properties incorporate solar panels, advanced insulation techniques and the latest energy-efficient systems, ensuring the development leaves a lasting legacy for future generations.
Properties are fitted with bespoke kitchens alongside spacious living areas with natural chimneys to accommodate family life. Every home has a bathroom which has been designed as a luxurious wet room, flooded with natural light to promote wellbeing.
With interiors designed by Leila Homes Interiors, the newly launched show home has been carefully curated to create a warm and inviting environment with a thoughtful use of space, high-quality finishes and maximum natural light.
In the surrounding grounds, residents can enjoy extensive landscaping including an orchard with fruit trees and wildlife-friendly planting, creating an edible garden where families can connect with nature and enjoy the changing seasons.
Vicarage Wood is ideally positioned for family life, with country parks and equestrian facilities nearby, the Ofsted Outstanding St Peter’s Primary School on the doorstep, and excellent transport links with the M25 and A12 just four minutes away. Brentwood station, offering mainline and Elizabeth line services into London, is only eight minutes away.
Since construction began, Journey Homes and Beresfords have worked closely with the local community, sponsoring village festivals and becoming lead sponsors of the girls’ football team at St Peter’s Primary School.
Dr Bejan Roohi, founder and developer of Journey Homes, said: “From the outset, our vision for Vicarage Wood was to create homes that feel rooted in the village and designed around the wellbeing of modern families. Every detail, from the craftsmanship and traditional materials to the natural light and landscaping, has been carefully considered to create homes that people genuinely love living in.
“The response to the show home has been incredibly encouraging, with visitors recognising that these properties feel like real family homes rather than simply houses. We are delighted that the development is now nearing completion and proud of the relationships we have built within the local community along the way.”
Paul Beresford, CEO of Beresfords Group, added: “Vicarage Wood is a truly special development and one that reflects the quality and care that Journey Homes has invested throughout. The attention to detail, exceptional specification and respect shown to the character of the village have all contributed to the fantastic reception the development has received.
“It has also been wonderful to see the strong connections forged with the local community, creating a welcoming environment for future resident and we look forward to welcoming families to view the show home.”
