Copped Hall, Epping, Essex, CM16

Steeped in history this fascinating property provides a unique opportunity to enjoy the delights associated with living within the curtilage of Copped Hall that had its origins in the reign of Richard I. The Stable Yard, including this property, was built in 1894 as an impressive Victorian addition and in recent years was restored and converted into seven residences creating a thriving and friendly community of owners and rarely do one of these special homes come up for sale.

Almost like a hidden secret, once through the lodge gates, a kilometre drive takes you through the surrounding forest and parkland to the Hayloft. Arriving at the U-shaped Stable Yard with its impressive clock tower and Victorian architecture you can begin to imagine what it must have been like when it was a bustling stable full of horses and grooms and indeed the main part of the property is above the original stables. However, once you open the front door and see the modern décor, the very attractive staircase, cloakroom and door to the private garden you realise this property is very much a place for the 21st century.

This feeling is enhanced even further as you walk up the stairs into the stunning, open plan, dual aspect lounge/diner with its high vaulted ceiling and exposed crossbeams, wood flooring, multi-pane casement windows and French doors to a Juliet balcony. There is also a log burning stove that really warms the room up and is a focal point that you can cosy up to on a cold winter's evening.

The modern kitchen/breakfast room also has a vaulted ceiling and exposed cross beams as well as a large Velux skylight window providing plenty of natural light. There is a cooker and plenty of storage units housing a fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher as well as room for a table and chairs. There are two double bedrooms including a spacious dual aspect bedroom and a contemporary bathroom with a stand-alone bath. Most of the rooms have expansive views of the picturesque fields just outside.

The private garden includes a fantastic patio with fibre option lighting, making it feel like you are sitting amongst the stars at night. This is surrounded by a dwarf wall with well-appointed trees and shrubs, the communal gardens and grounds. There is also a plant room / workshop, a woodstore and a summer house that has potential to be converted into a games room or office.

What the Owner says:

When we first came up the drive and saw the stable block and Copped Hall we thought we had arrived in Paradise, it felt magical. Standing on the cobbled stones in the courtyard, even before we saw inside the Hayloft, we knew we wanted to live there. We have thoroughly enjoyed the years we have been here and have created everlasting memories. The community is friendly, and the surroundings are amazing, with fantastic walks, beautiful landscapes and cycle rides. We are close to the towns of Epping, Loughton and Theydon Bois, with only a couple of miles for access to the M25. The central line stations of Epping and Theydon Bois are reachable within half an hour of the City.

The charming town of Epping includes delightful period properties lining the high street in a Conservation Area. It is famous for it's Monday market that has been in existence since the 13th century. The town is surrounded by the northern end of Epping Forest providing wonderful walking, cycling and riding. All amenities are well catered for within close proximity of the property. A hospital, doctor & dentist surgery, a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. There are four primary schools, a prep school and a good secondary school within catchment area. Sporting enthusiasts are spoilt with cricket, football and horse riding clubs as well as golfers who can indulge at Epping Golf Course or Hobbs Cross Golf Centre.
