Ft reception room with soaring 4.2m ceilings and a striking 6m-high entrance hall that creates an immediate sense of grandeur.

A fully glazed western façade maximises natural light and frames stunning sunset views, best enjoyed from the expansive living areas or the generous covered veranda.

The bespoke 600 Sq. Ft kitchen is complemented by premium cabinetry, a utility room, pantry, and integrated Miele appliances. All five bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and dressing rooms, including two luxurious principal suites of approximately 500 Sq. Ft each.

Ideally situated, the property is just a seven-minute drive from both Loughton and Chingford, offering the perfect balance of countryside living and city accessibility. Epping Forest is a remarkable natural escape on London’s doorstep. Stretching 12 miles from Manor Park to just north of Epping, it is the largest public open space in the London area. Covering nearly 6,000 acres, the forest is a much-loved destination for recreation, offering excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature. It is also recognised for its outstanding ecological value, with two-thirds of the forest designated as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation.
