If you want to live on one of Essex’s most expensive roads, it’s going to set you back a pretty penny. Essex is well known for having some of the fanciest homes around, especially in towns such as Chigwell, Loughton and Buckhurst Hill.
But it’s not just the northwest of the county that has posh homes, down the south of the county, there’s also other streets dubbed ‘millionaires row’. On the outskirts of Brentwood, you’ll find some of the most expensive houses in Essex.
Hillwood Grove is a gorgeous private lane off Mount Avenue, close to both Brentwood and Shenfield train stations. The houses there are nothing short of stunning, with huge driveways, many bedrooms and some even have swimming pools in the garden.

This alone makes the street so expensive, but the beautiful homes are just a portion of why Hillwood Grove is so exclusive. It’s a peaceful, tree-lined road, providing a quiet and scenic environment for families and retirees alike.
Hillwood Grove is also in a highly sought-after location. It is hardly a ten-minute walk from Shenfield station – located on the Elizabeth Line – making commuting quick and easy.
This street also sees the best of both worlds, located close to amenities while enjoying secluded privacy. Shenfield’s high street is just a stone’s throw away, with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants to explore.
Shenfield in general is also known for its relatively low crime rates, and this quiet residential street benefits from the same safe and secure environment. Living on Hillwood Grove offers a blend of luxury, tranquillity, amenities and superb transport links, perfect for both commuters and families.
House prices in Hillwood Grove have an overall average of £1,255,000 over the last year, according to Rightmove. However, overall, the historical sold prices in Hillwood Grove over the last year were 61% down on the 2020 peak of a whopping £3,250,000.
