‘A very desirable place to live’ – Essex street named among best in the UK

Mount Crescent, which is located in the Brentwood suburb of Warley, was featured alongside 29 others in a list from the Daily Mail.

Discussing the creation of the list, the publication wrote: “How do you decide what is a ‘good’ street to live on? It’s not as simple as it sounds.

“You may want to be near a pub. Yet you don’t want to be so close that you hear disturbances at night. A restaurant would be good. But you don’t want to smell cooking all day and night.

“You’d like access to green space. But perhaps you don’t want to be isolated in the wilds of the countryside. You want friendly neighbours. But you don’t want them to be too intrusive.

“We consulted tried-and-trusted estate agents and property experts across the country to bring you the ultimate guide to Britain’s 30 best streets to live on, whether your budget is £120,000 or £2.25 million.”
