Architectural Artwork at The Galleries

A collection of duplex apartments which are tantamount to architectural works of art have been released at City & Country Group’s award winning conversion, The Galleries, in Brentwood. Each apartment is completely unique, but all of them incorporate striking architectural features, such as double height ceilings, sweeping staircases and dramatic curved walls.

Helen Moore, Head of Sales and Marketing at City & Country Group, comments: “When we discovered the enormous space in the clock tower building we were given a completely blank canvas. With this space our team of highly skilled designers and master craftsmen were able to create some of the most spectacular apartments I have ever seen. The unusual living areas and the range of unique features in each property do genuinely set them apart from any other homes currently available in this area.”

All of the apartments are distinctive and use a mixture of vaulted arched ceilings, original steel pillars and unusual staircases to create extraordinary spaces. All of the properties feature staggered mezzanine levels which provide living area flexibility. The properties are filled with light from the original feature windows and skylights.

Each home features under floor heating throughout and porcelain tiles or oak flooring in the living areas. The bespoke kitchens use a crisp linear design to create a contemporary space, which is softened by the use of warm wood or high gloss doors and natural stone worktops. All of the bathrooms incorporate Vitra sanitaryware.

The Galleries is a Grade II listed former hospital which comprises a number of striking, red brick buildings. The buildings have been sensitively restored and converted to create a collection of houses and apartments. This beautiful development recently won the Gold Award for Best Development at the What House? Awards in November 2009.

Located near the fringe of Brentwood, The Galleries sits on the third highest point in Essex with panoramic views across to London.  Nearby, Brentwood Railway Station has direct services into London Liverpool Street with journey times of approximately 35 minutes*. Junction 28 of the M25 is just a few minutes away and Stansted Airport is a handy 45 minute drive away**.

Brentwood is fast becoming one of Essex’s most desirable commuter towns. A £5 million investment by Essex County Council toward improving Brentwood town centre, excellent transport links to London and good local amenities have led to a high demand for homes in the area.

Prices for these stunning properties start at £360,000 for a one bedroom duplex apartment and at £560,000 for a two bedroom duplex apartment. The on-site sales suite is open daily between 10am and 5pm. For further information, contact City & Country Group on telephone: 01277 202 122 or visit: www.the-galleries.net.
