Property description

Uniquely positioned in the village of Upshire, close to the Church and Village hall, this property offers breathtaking views of farmland towards Warlies Park, Nazeing and Epping Green to the front, panoramic views to the rear of Epping Forest and the London horizon in the distance.

Originally built as the Headmaster's home for the former village school, the large double aspect reception room was once used as the village reading room. The property features large gardens to both the front and south-facing garden to the rear.

Traditionally built with the original layout there is a working kitchen and three receptions including a dining room, with a built in dresser and cupboards, overlooking the lovely rear garden. The owners added a generous double garage to one side. We believe a double height extension (STPP) to the rear would complement this already impressive house. Upstairs the double-aspect master bedroom is generously sized with two further double bedrooms and a large bathroom.

The character and charm of this property is obvious from the roadside and upon entering the front door, with high ceilings, original doors and windows with shutters. The two reception rooms have attractive open fireplaces. This property has remained in the same family for over 75 years.

What the Owner says:

This has been our family home for almost 60 years and we had some very special times here. Our extended family lived in the surrounding farms, in view of the front windows.

As children, we were able to make considerable use of the many footpaths and bridleways in this part of Epping Forest accessible directly to the north, east and south.

The new owners we think, could be a family which appreciates living in an active village community in attractive countryside conveniently close to the Central Line at Loughton and Epping. Also it has the M25 within easy access.
