Shenfield

Shenfield is a primarily residential ward located on the western edge of the town of Brentwood. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, from interwar semidetached homes to newer developments, set along tree lined roads. Its centre is focused on the railway station and the adjacent high street, which provides local shopping and services. The ward contains several schools and sports facilities, including the Shenfield Cricket Club ground, which has hosted county level matches.

The geography includes areas of open space such as Shenfield Common. A notable local feature is the presence of the original 'Shenfield Place', a historic estate whose grounds now form a public park and contribute to the area's green character. Transport links are central to its identity, with the railway offering direct services into London Liverpool Street. This connectivity supports a commuter population while maintaining a distinct community focus around its local institutions and clubs.
