Summary - 56 MEADOW WAY CHIGWELL IG7 6LR
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large family house with garden, gated drive and extension potential (STPP)..
Five bedrooms across over 3,600 sq ft of living space
A substantial five-bedroom detached family home on a large corner plot in the popular Courtland Estate, offering more than 3,600 sq ft of living space and immediate scope to extend (STPP). The property sits behind a gated driveway with parking for several cars and an integral garage, plus a detached rear garage — useful for workshops or additional storage. The southwest landscaped rear garden is private and generous, ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
Interior space is generous and versatile: multiple reception rooms (lounge/diner, sitting room, playroom), a bespoke fitted kitchen, utility and cloakroom. The principal bedroom and additional bedroom both have en suites; overall there are two main bathrooms serving five bedrooms, which may need consideration for larger families. Characterful Tudor-style elements, bay windows and traditional fireplaces give the house period appeal but much of the fabric dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s.
There is clear renovation and improvement potential — buyers can modernise heating controls, update bathrooms and kitchen areas, and pursue a sizeable extension subject to planning (STPP). Practical points: the property is freehold, double-glazed (unknown install date), has mains gas central heating and partial cavity-wall insulation (assumed). Council tax is very expensive and local recorded crime is above average; purchasers should satisfy themselves on local services and security needs.
Location is a strong selling point for families: short walk to Chigwell Central Line station, excellent local amenities and consistently good nearby schools (including Chigwell School and Chigwell Primary Academy). Broadband and mobile signal are strong. Overall this is a large, flexible family home for buyers seeking space, school catchment and the opportunity to personalise or enlarge the house to suit long-term family life.
