REGISTER NOW FOR OUR PRE LAUNCH EVENT ON SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2026 About Zen Place Zen Place - a gated collection of six architecturally distinctive detached homes in Shenfield, Brentwood – a development that began with an ambitious brief and demanded the kind of design thinking that only a genuinely challenging site can produce. The brief was clear; create homes that offer something the local market simply does not have. Five bedrooms, all en-suite. Open-plan living spaces of real generosity. Contemporary architecture that feels calm and considered. Sustainability built from the ground up. The site enjoys natural seclusion through its mature tree boundary, yet only minutes from the high street, outstanding schools, sports facilities and vast woodland. The Elizabeth Line has transformed commuter demand in this corridor. The Homes The six detached five-bedroom homes sit within a private gated community. Each property offers generous private gardens, dedicated parking, EV charging, and a full premium specification as standard. Inside the homes The entrance hall is an experience in itself, designed in precise alignment with the front door and the full-height rear glazing, framing an uninterrupted view of the garden from the moment you step inside. The Kitchen / Dining / Family room is the heart of the home. A generous open-plan space anchored by a bespoke kitchen, with full height sliding doors spanning nine meters opening directly to the garden. Designed for real life; for long family breakfasts, relaxed evenings, and everything in between. The Kitchen is finished to an exceptional standard and equipped throughout with a curated suite of Siemens appliances – quietly integrated, effortlessly functional. A single Negresco slab forms the worktop, waterfall and splashback, delivering a unified, monolithic presence that anchors the entire kitchen with bold, natural artistry. · 80cm induction hob · Full-size oven with integrated microwave · Integrated fridge and freezer · Fully integrated dishwasher A Quooker tap with sparkling and chilled water on demand sits above a black composite sink, finished with patinated brass detailing that adds a considerable touch of warmth to the space. The Utility – accessed discreetly through integrated cabinetry, the concealed utility room keeps the practical entirely out of sight, complete with its own oversized black composite sink, preserving the calm and the clarity of the main living space. The Lounge – a quieter counterpart to the open-plan living space. The separate lounge offers a place to step away – to read, to unwind, or simply to be still. Generous in proportion and calm in feel, it’s a room that earns its place in daily life. The ground floor Bedroom / Playroom / Office with En-Suite and walkin Wardrobe is a versatile room, equipped as a guest bedroom but equally usable as a home office or a playroom depending on the needs of the family. It is the kind of considered flexibility that only comes from designing with real life in mind. Ground Floor WC – discreetly positioned and finished to the same standard as the rest of the home. The Principal Suite – is positioned to command the finest views and the greatest sense of privacy. A generous bedroom that leads through to an opulent bathroom with Lusso Amore Bathtub crafted from translucent resin material. Finished in Negresso granite, rich, deep veining against a horned surface, with Lusso fittings in rustic bronze adding a warmth and character. The suite is further served by a walk-in wardrobe; calm, considered and entirely your own. Bedroom Two with En-Suite – is a beautifully proportioned double bedroom with its own private en-suite, finished with the same attendion to detail found throughout the home. Coralina travertine-effect tiles bring natural texture to the walls and floor, while Lusso bronze fittings elevate the everyday. Bedroom Three with En-Suite – another generous double bedroom, again with a private en-suite. The same quality of finish, the same sense of calm. No hierarchy of detail, every room is designed as if it were the principal one. Bedroom Four with En-Suite – continues the thread of considered luxury that runs through every detail of the home. Weather used as a guest room, a teenager’s space, or a second home office, it offers the same standard of finish and the same sense of ease. SAFTEY, SECURITY, SUSTAINABILITY & INNOVATION Zen place has been designed from the ground up with sustainability at its core. Each home generates its own energy through solar panels, stores it in a dedicated battery, and manages it intelligently, reducing reliance on the grid and keeping running costs low. A Samsung air-to-water heat pump provides efficient heating and hot water throughout working alongside Heatmiser underfloor heating and smart Zigbee switches that allow lighting and temperature to respond naturally to how each room is used. Every home also comes with an EV charging point as standard. However, perhaps the most considered innovation is one you will barely notice. A heated wall in each bathroom – warm to the touch, fitted with hooks for robes and towels – replaces the traditional towel rail entirely, keeping linens warm while maintaining the clean, uncluttered feel of the space. A small detail but one that speaks to the thinking behind every decision made at Zen Place. · Air Conditioning · Jinko Tiger Neo 455W Dual Glass Solar Panels · EV Charging · Smart Toilets · Triple Glazed Windows · Fox Hybrid Inverter · Tuya Zigbee Smart Wall Switch · Quooker Boiling Tap (boiling, filtered, chilled, sparkling) · Heatmiser Neo Underfloor Heating · Samsung Air-to-Water Heat Pump Security – Zen Place is a private gated development – meaning access is controlled from the outset, with only residents and their guests able to enter. CCTV is installed as standard across the development providing continuous, discreet coverage of the communal areas and entrances. It is the kind of security that works quietly in the background, giving residents genuine peace of mind without defining the character of the place. A safe, private environment that feels exactly that; a sanctuary. Warranty – Zen place is protected by a 10 year ICW structural warranty. ICW is one of the UK’s leading providers of building warranties and building control. Throughout construction, the homes have been independently inspected by Building Control and ICW Surveyors.

House with garden and terrace Epping (United Kingdom)
Rent Cottage is a wonderfully individual period home whose history remains visible throughout its fabric. Originally formed as a row of three two-storey cottages, the central cottage, now the main lounge, is understood to have been used as the rent house for tenants connected with nearby Hill Hall, giving the property the name it carries today. The cottages were subsequently combined and later extended to create a substantial family home with an unusually flexible layout. The house has remained in the same family since 1977, and that long ownership is reflected in the maturity of the grounds and the care taken with later additions. Historic character is balanced by practical family accommodation, creating a home that feels distinctive without becoming formal. Ground Floor A welcoming entrance hall introduces a generous and varied ground floor. The kitchen sits alongside the dining room and leads into a sequence of reception spaces, allowing everyday family life and entertaining to work naturally together. The principal lounge is especially memorable, centred around an impressive Inglenook fireplace believed to be an original feature of the building. A further reception room provides another relaxed living space. A separate study offers a dedicated place to work from home. Also on this level is a well-proportioned bedroom positioned close to a full bathroom, providing valuable flexibility for guests, an older relative or anyone seeking bedroom accommodation without the need to use the stairs. First Floor The first floor is arranged as three bedrooms, with the principal suite being particularly generous, with a well-proportioned bedroom leading directly into an adjoining dressing room and an en-suite bathroom. The dressing room is accessed through the bedroom rather than independently from the landing, making it a natural extension of the principal suite. Two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. A useful store completes the first-floor accommodation. Together with the ground-floor bedroom, this gives Rent Cottage four bedrooms in total while retaining a considerably more appealing principal suite arrangement. Grounds and Gardens The established gardens are one of Rent Cottage's defining features, with mature planting creating a series of attractive and private areas around the house. In the south-west corner, a powered summer house occupies a particularly secluded part of the plot and has the feel of a hidden retreat, equally suited to quiet afternoons, entertaining or creative use. To the north of the garden is a mature brick-lined pond which, according to the family's historic records, appears on maps dating back several centuries. It provides a peaceful focal point within the grounds. Further practical accommodation includes a detached office, a double garage with useful storage above, a greenhouse and additional outbuildings, giving excellent scope for home working, hobbies and storage. A House With a Story The evolution of Rent Cottage is part of its appeal. Evidence of the former cottages remains within the structure, including traces of earlier doorways and stair positions, while concealed spaces within the upper floor provide further glimpses into the way the building has changed over time. The family's archive also includes historic planning papers, photographs and other material documenting the property over several decades. There is also a longstanding local story that some of the substantial timbers may have originated from a ship, with family tradition linking them to the Mayflower. This is an intriguing part of the property's folklore rather than a verified historical fact and would require specialist analysis before being presented as established provenance. Location Rent Cottage enjoys a beautiful rural setting in sought-after Theydon Mount, surrounded by open countryside and far-reaching views, yet remains exceptionally well connected. Nearby Epping offers an excellent choice of shops, restaurants, schools and Central Line services into London, while the M11 and M25 are within easy reach. With Epping Forest, scenic walks and a wealth of leisure pursuits close by, the location offers an enviable balance of countryside living and connectivity. Summary Rent Cottage offers far more than period character alone. Its combination of Grade II listed heritage, four-bedroom accommodation, a principal suite with dressing room and en suite, extensive reception space, mature gardens and substantial outbuildings makes it a highly distinctive family home. The ground-floor bedroom and bathroom add genuine versatility, while the detached office and garage accommodation broaden its appeal further. For a buyer looking for history, individuality and a home that has evolved organically over generations, Rent Cottage is a rare proposition. Additional land is available under separate negotiation.
