About this property:

Located inner M25 on the north edge of Loughton in the Epping Forest District of Essex, this home sits in a peaceful and sought-after residential location. With its handsome frontage, in-and-out drive and garage to the front, and a private garden to the rear with two patio areas and direct access into the forest, the property offers a great amount of character and convenience.

Since the owners have lived here they have updated it both internally and externally to a high-standard, fitting two new bathrooms, a new kitchen, flooring, patio, fencing, porch, and more. The house is homely and welcoming, and the kitchen area is especially good for entertaining. At the front there is parking for four cars and the house enjoys great views of the forest at the rear; it’s a real bonus to have a garden gate which leads onto a bridle path which takes you through the woods on your daily dog walk or bike ride.

The house has an easy flow throughout and there is complete access around the circumference of the house. It’s just a 10-minute stroll to the local pub, The Foresters, and continuing down the same road a further five-minutes to the Gardeners Arms, both are excellent. If you want more choice for shopping and restaurants, Loughton is only a 25-minute walk away.

The area has an abundance of schools for all ages and a wealth of quality golf courses. Access into London is made easy by nearby Loughton and Debden tube station and the M11.

What the owner says:

The house is located in a very quiet spot where you can’t hear traffic from any main roads whilst the forest at the rear offers a wonderful feeling of tranquillity – we have installed a gate for easy access here. We have friendly neighbours who are vigilant and helpful and there’s a Whatsapp run neighbourhood watch group. It’s a very safe yet private place to live.

The house is spacious and not overlooked and the garden enjoys all-day sun in its different areas. The kitchen is a great space where everyone congregates, an ideal place for entertaining.

Overall, the place feels private, secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of life yet it’s close enough to the centre of London to be convenient for work, shopping, the theatre etc.
