With its varied roof lines, cathedral style dormers, high chimney stack and attractive external original features, this delightful detached and extended family home built in 1938 is charming. The impressive home backs onto open farmland as far as the eye can see, yet it is only about half a mile to Chigwell station for the Central Line, where underground trains will take you to the City of London in less than half an hour.
The stunning light and bright interior is a testament to the superb but sensitive refurbishment and extension undertaken by the owners in 2006. Most of the ground floor incorporates glossy white ceramic tiled flooring and underfloor heating and is open plan or semi open plan with most areas flowing into each other. At the same time fascinating period features have been retained including exposed beams, leaded light windows and a superb art deco brick fireplace.
The welcoming entrance hall has a charming bay window, stairs to the first floor, a door to the integral garage as well as direct access to the spacious lounge, dining areas and sitting areas that wraparound much of the property. In order to enjoy the spectacular rural views there are a plethora of windows and two sets of French doors to the rear terrace as well as a charming inner cosy family area where everyone can relax in front of the television.
Anyone who enjoys catering will be delighted with the contemporary kitchen with its attractive central island/breakfast bar incorporating an induction hob and an array of pastel units and marble worktops housing a variety of Neff appliances and an American fridge freezer. While the adjacent fitted utility room includes the laundry facilities.
Upstairs off the galleried landing are five bedrooms and the family bathroom that is next door to a triple aspect bedroom with its exposed beams and panelled wall. Three of the other bedrooms are doubles including two with fitted cupboards and en-suite facilities and one with a walk in wardrobe as well as the single that would make an excellent study.
The rear garden is primarily laid to lawn with shrub and flower borders backing onto fields. There is a large terrace and a hot tub as well as a vine covered pergola covered pathway leading to a second seating area and garden sheds while the large brick paved frontage provides plenty of off street parking.
What the Owner says:
We moved here 39 years ago and it has been a wonderful family home in which to bring up our three sons and a great place for entertaining, especially in the extension and in the garden. However as the children have all flown the nest, we feel it is time for us to downsize and move to something smaller. We fell in love with the home when we first saw it as it stands on one of the largest plots in the road and the rear views are stunning. About 16 years ago we extended and refurbished the house to include the new kitchen, lounge and dining area as well as adding bedrooms upstairs. However there is the potential for new owners to increase the accommodation even further by building over the flat roof or even adding a third floor, subject to the appropriate planning permissions.
Chigwell is a charming town with a wide range of shops, restaurants and bars as well as excellent private and state schools. There are lovely areas to go for walks in Epping Forest and other country parks yet it is easy to commute to London. We are also not far from the M11 for access to the M25, Stansted and Cambridge.
