The Paddocks enjoys an enviable setting in the peaceful village of Hutton, on the outskirts of Brentwood in rural Essex. Surrounded by open countryside yet just 30 minutes from London, it offers the perfect balance of serenity and convenience.
A short drive brings you to Brentwood’s bustling high street, where you’ll find a great mix of independent shops, artisan cafés, and stylish restaurants. Whether you’re enjoying a relaxed brunch, browsing the local boutiques, or stopping for a drink in one of the welcoming pubs, this lively market town has something for everyone.
For those seeking excellent dining, The Lot Bar & Restaurant and The Spread Eagle are local favourites, offering seasonal menus and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. If you prefer a countryside pub, The Greyhound in Herongate or The Olde Dog Inn in nearby Herongate Tye both promise a warm welcome and traditional charm.
Nature lovers will be spoiled for choice. The surrounding area offers countless opportunities for walking, cycling, and exploring, with scenic trails through Hutton Country Park, Thorndon Country Park, and Weald Park Nature Reserve—all just minutes away. A little further afield, Epping Forest and Danbury Common provide miles of woodland paths and sweeping views across the Essex countryside.
For a fun day out, Chelmsford, Ingatestone, and Ongar are all within easy reach, while the vibrant attractions of London are less than an hour away by train from Shenfield Station.
Whether you’re enjoying lakeside tranquillity, discovering charming villages, or venturing into the city for a day of shopping and theatre, The Paddocks offers the ideal base for guests seeking both relaxation and adventure in equal measure.
We’re selective about what homes make the collection. Every home is vetted and chosen for its design, its setting, and whether it actually delivers when you walk through the door.
We know rounding everyone up takes time. We can hold any property free for 24 hours while you check with the group. No payment, no commitment, no pressure.
