Set back down a quiet lane in Epping Upland, this early-20th-century semi-detached cottage sits on a generous plot of about 1/6 acre with open countryside views. The house offers three bedrooms, a ground-floor living room, kitchen with pantry and a lean-to housing the oil-fired boiler. Its large rear and side gardens and original outbuildings create clear potential for landscaping, extension or outbuilding use subject to planning.
The property is a renovation project throughout: interiors and external timber stores require repair and modernisation. Practical points include uPVC double glazing, oil central heating, septic tank drainage and off-street parking with vehicular access via a private drive. Broadband speeds are very slow; mobile signal is excellent. Council Tax band D and freehold tenure are confirmed.
This cottage will suit a buyer wanting a countryside home with scope to add value—families seeking outdoor space and proximity to good primary and secondary schools will find the location convenient. Epping town and its Central Line station are roughly 3.5–4 miles away for commuter links. Be realistic about renovation costs: structural defects are not reported, but the property needs comprehensive modernisation and repairs to outbuildings.
Viewers should note practical limitations: drainage to a septic tank, oil-fired services, and very slow broadband may affect day-to-day living until upgraded. There is no flood risk recorded, but local crime rates are above average. For the right buyer, this cottage offers character, seclusion and a large plot with genuine potential.
