Property to rent in Brentwood

The Essex market town of Brentwood is only around 20 miles from central London and within easy reach of the M25.

As well as its market, the town is served by a traditional high street with many independent retailers and The Baytree shopping centre.

Brentwood offers a very diverse mix of housing options, including a significant number of flats and apartments in places such as The Galleries on Pastoral Way.
