Set at the edge of a peaceful rural village, this four-bedroom semi-detached home pairs long countryside views with practical family space. The house offers a large secluded rear garden, a detached outbuilding for storage or a workshop, and a driveway with space for up to four cars — rare for village locations.
Inside, a characterful living room with exposed beams and a log burner sits alongside a generous kitchen/dining room and a useful ground-floor WC. Three double bedrooms plus a smaller fourth bedroom (currently a dressing room) and a larger-than-average family bathroom make the layout well suited to growing families or home-working households.
Practical points to note: the property is oil-heated with a boiler and radiators, and the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should allow for running-cost and insulation improvements. The house dates from the 1930s–1940s and will benefit from some modernisation in places, though solar panels are installed and broadband speeds are reported as fast.
For commuters, the location gives straightforward access to Epping Central Line, Ongar, Harlow, the M11 and Stansted Airport. Local primary schools have good Ofsted ratings and the immediate area supports countryside living with nearby sports and leisure amenities.
