Welcome to my home in Brentwood, Essex! A spacious, comfortable and creative family home offering the best of both worlds: peaceful suburban/countryside living with easy access to central London.
I’m an artist, so the house has plenty of personality and creativity throughout. Fellow artists and anyone feeling inspired are very welcome to use my art supplies during their stay! (Easels, markers, painting supplies)
The house
The property is a three-bedroom home with a converted loft with a double bed, offering plenty of space for families, groups of friends or couples wanting room to spread out. The house can accommodate up to seven people, although smaller groups are more ideal (2-4 people) and will have the luxury of plenty of extra space.
You’ll have access to the main house, living areas, kitchen, private garden, and everyday household essentials. It’s a fully equipped, lived-in home with everything you should need to settle in comfortably, cook, relax and enjoy your stay.
Please note that the garden summer house will remain closed to guests.
There is also a gym and leisure centre with a pool located only a few hundred metres from our road.
Sleeping arrangements include:
* Main bedroom with a double bed on first floor
* Spare bedroom with a double bed on first floor
* Converted loft bedroom with a double bed on second floor (*access to loft requires steep stairs)
* Large downstairs open-plan living area with an enormous double sofa bed, comfortably sleeping two or more
* Additional fold-out single futon chair, sleeping one
The neighbourhood
Brentwood is a lovely, leafy Essex town with cafés, restaurants, independent shops, parks and beautiful countryside nearby.
The Elizabeth line connects Brentwood directly with central London, making it a great base for exploring the capital while enjoying the space and tranquillity of a proper home. If you take the train from Shenfield, only a few minutes down the road, then Greater Anglia Express train can get you to central London in ~25 minutes.
Whether you’re visiting London’s museums, galleries, theatres and attractions or simply looking for a peaceful change of scenery, there’s plenty to explore.
A little about me
I’m an artist who loves travelling, novelty, discovering new places and experiencing different cultures. I love the idea of home swapping as a way to explore somewhere new while sharing my own home with others.
This isn’t a showroom or a luxury holiday rental. It’s a genuine, welcoming family home with character, art, creativity and plenty of space to make yourself comfortable.
I’m open to exchanges in London, France, across Europe and further afield, and can be flexible with dates and length of stay.
Looking forward to connecting with fellow travellers and home swappers!
