Two-acre freehold site with approved plans close to Epping Forest and transport links.
Planning consent granted (EPF/1023/23) for a c.4,500 sq ft detached house
A rare development opportunity in High Beech: about two acres of freehold land with planning consent (EPF/1023/23) for a detached house of approximately 4,500 sq ft. The site sits within Epping Forest, offering a semi-rural setting while remaining roughly two miles from Loughton High Road and tube station.
Planning consent is in place, which significantly reduces early-stage risk for developers or private buyers wanting a large new home. The plot is substantial, wooded in places and suited to a large, high-spec residence; an adjacent plot with separate consent is also available, presenting potential for larger schemes or phased delivery.
Buyers should note material considerations: construction, connection costs, and ongoing build responsibility sit with the purchaser. The immediate area records higher-than-average crime and an overall deprived area classification, which may affect resale values and insurance costs. Council tax and specific utility connection details are unconfirmed and will require purchaser due diligence.
Practical positives include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, good access to schools and transport links into London, and strong privacy afforded by the plot size and woodland edges. This is best suited to experienced developers, investors, or a private buyer prepared for a substantial new build project.
