Large detached family house with farmland views and extension potential (STPP).
Substantial corner plot with farmland views to the front
Set on a substantial corner plot within the sought-after Courtlands Estate, this spacious four-bedroom detached family house offers over 2,300 sq ft of flexible living across three floors. The property fronts uninterrupted farmland and sits about 0.5 miles from Chigwell Central Line, giving a rare mix of green outlook and straightforward commuter access. Off-street parking for several cars and a double garage add practical everyday convenience for families.
The house is arranged with formal reception rooms, a kitchen with adjoining utility and a principal bedroom with en-suite and built-in wardrobes. There is scope to extend on the corner plot (subject to planning, STPP), and the second-floor room provides useful extra accommodation for a home office, guest suite or teenager’s space. Nearby schools and local amenities are within easy walking distance, making the location especially attractive to families.
Honest drawbacks: the construction is older (mid-century solid brick) with double glazing fitted before 2002 and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so upgrading for thermal efficiency is likely. Council tax is described as quite expensive and local crime levels are above average — factors to weigh for buyers. Overall, this is a large, characterful family home with clear potential for modernisation and extension for those seeking space and a strong location.
