Nestled on Smarts Lane, this chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached cottage pairs period character with practical modern touches. The ground floor offers a bright kitchen, a generous lounge/dining room with French doors to a private rear garden, and a convenient guest cloakroom — a layout that works well for daily family life or flexible home working.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom featuring a freestanding claw-foot bath plus separate walk-in shower. Off-street parking to the front is a notable convenience in this central location, and Loughton Central Line station, High Road shops and cafés, and Epping Forest are all within easy walking distance — strong points for commuters and families.
Buyers should note the property sits on a small plot typical of town cottages and was constructed circa 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation). Energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. The local area records higher crime levels, so purchasers may wish to check local statistics and security options. No structural survey has been carried out; interested buyers should arrange their own inspections.
Overall this well-presented home offers immediate comfort, excellent access to amenities and strong rental or owner-occupier appeal, but it also presents typical Victorian-era considerations (insulation and potential updating) and a compact plot size. For families, downsizers or investors seeking central Loughton convenience with garden and parking, it merits an internal viewing.
