Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac backing onto Epping Forest, this 1930s detached family home offers generous living space across nearly 1,950 sq ft and strong potential to extend (subject to planning). The house sits on a decent plot with a west-facing rear garden, large patio and gate giving direct forest access via a nominal annual way-leave to The City of London.
Ground floor accommodation includes an L-shaped lounge that opens to a conservatory, a separate dining room, a fitted kitchen with Tudor-style details and a guest cloakroom. The attached single garage and driveway parking provide useful practicality, while upstairs four bedrooms (three doubles) and two bathrooms — including an en suite to the principal bedroom — suit family life.
The property is offered chain free, making it straightforward to progress. It does require updating in places: the kitchen is dated, some external elements need upkeep, and internal reconfiguration or extensions would likely add significant value. EPC rating is to be confirmed and council tax is in band F (expensive), important considerations for budgeting.
Location is a major asset for families — close to Buckhurst Hill Central Line, Waitrose and Queens Road shops, with excellent state and independent schools nearby and quick road links to the M11/M25. For buyers seeking a spacious family home with character and scope to modernise or enlarge, this delivers a rare combination of position, size and future potential.
