New Road, Lambourne End, Romford, Essex, RM4

Lambourne End includes some prestigious detached properties nestling within large plots including this spacious and characterful chalet bungalow. It backs onto farmland and is not far from a lake and Hainault Forest Country Park.

The property is about 100 years old and is full of delightful period features including the attractive front door, exposed beams and fireplaces. These features are immediately noticeable the moment you cross the threshold into the fascinating entrance hall with its charming wood surround ornamental cast iron fireplace and black and white staircase.

The double aspect lounge is particularly attractive with its impressive brick fireplace and log burning stove as well as French doors to the rear terrace and solid wood flooring that flows through to the dining area where there is plenty of room for a number of guests to enjoy a meal. This area also has a fireplace and an unusual half height brick divider and archway to a study.

For ease of catering there is a door from the dining area into the modern kitchen/breakfast room that also includes a large laundry cupboard. The kitchen has a range cooker and glossy white units housing a built-in microwave, integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer as well as sufficient space for a good sized breakfast table. Double doors open into a magnificent, light and bright triple aspect sitting room with two sets of French doors to the garden that will no doubt be well used in the summer months.

Upstairs there is a family bathroom and four bedrooms that all have exposed beams and provide delightful rural views. Three of these are doubles including one with integrated bedroom furniture and one with an en suite shower room and built in cupboards.

Much of the rear garden is laid to lawn with tree and shrub borders together with a number of terraced areas for sitting in the sunshine and al fresco dining. The summer house incorporates a hot tub and a sauna and, in the double garage, there is also a workshop area with a fitted sink unit and a shower room where you can have a wash after a sauna or on your return from a muddy walk, while outside the garage there is plenty of space for off road parking on the gravel drive.

What the Owner says:

This has been a lovely family home for the past 10 years but we are starting a new chapter in our lives and feel it is time to pass it on to new owners. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here and being able to entertain friends and family and relax in our hot tub. The area is great for walking in the nearby parks and taking a trip down to the nearby lake.

Lambourne End includes a primary school and the Lambourne End Centre for Outdoor Learning and Chigwell is only a couple of miles away. Here you will find a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants and Grange Hill Station for the Central Line to the City and Central London. The area is also fairly close to the M11 for access to the M25, Stansted and Cambridge.

There are many sporting opportunities in the area with golf being played at Chigwell Golf Club as well as Abridge Golf and Country Club and the Top Golf Playing Centre. For fitness enthusiasts there is the Nuffield Health Chigwell Fitness and Wellbeing Club while hockey, tennis and cricket clubs are also available.
