Property description

With superb views from virtually every room and nestling within secluded grounds of approximately 3.6 acres this residence provides a semi rural way of life, but is only a few miles from Theydon Bois with local shops and underground link into central London. More comprehensive shopping is at Loughton and Epping, also with tube links, accessibility to the M11 and M25 motorways and Stansted airport. Combine these qualities with the majestic appearance and comfort of this substantial family home and you have the ingredients for an exceptional lifestyle.

First time visitors to the home will not fail to be impressed by the initial aspect of the residence from the lane and the long driveway that approaches the property. This is equally matched by the grandeur of the pillared entrance to the home. Once inside the property the WOW factor doesn’t disappear, as you are greeted by a substantial reception hall of 24’1 by 24’10 with an impressive central staircase rising to a galleried landing. The owners tell us that they dress the hall for the festive season and have a tall Christmas tree creating the ideal atmosphere to greet friends and family.

In addition to the three principal reception rooms there is an entertainment suite, as the owners have named it. Over the years it has been their favourite space, with its dance floor and bar, it has played host to many a party. Joining this area is the snooker room with a full sized table, ideal for the those budding snooker players.

The spaciousness of the grounds are equally as pleasing as the inside of the home, being neatly tended and predominately laid to grass, there is a small lake and Koi pond. Within a courtyard setting is a heated swimming pool with a patio surround, one can just imagine relaxing around the pool during the summer months with a glass of wine.

To one side of the home is a further courtyard designed area providing parking for several cars and access to the garage block. This means that the grandeur of the front of the home can remain free of cars, therefore creating an impressive welcome for visiting guests.

What the Owner says:

We knew before even going inside that this was where we wanted to live, a fabulous setting at the end of a lane, which for us enhanced even more this grand residence, with its majestic and imposing appearance.

Once inside the property we were drawn to the spacious areas the house provided, we could also see immediately that we would be taking on a tremendous amount of work, as the property was literally a shell. This did not deter us from wanting to live here as we could see the potential to make it into our dream home, we acquired the residence via a tender process and were delighted when we were told that our tender had been successful in securing the property in our favour.

Due to the sheer size of the property it took us around 4 years to renovate, refurbish and complete the project of transforming the shell into our home. We have been extremely pleased with the outcome.

This residence has given us such a spacious and flexible home that has adapted to our changing needs quite effortlessly. For example there is a section of the house which we class as the annexe, as it can work as a separate area to the main household if one should need, this is ideal for visiting guests, a live in nanny, staff accommodation or space for the teenagers of the family, when they want more independence.
