What the Owner says:

We have lived in this lovely family home since 2002 and it was the location that originally drew us to this property and the delightful neighbours have lived here even longer than we have. However, we feel it is time to downsize. We have thoroughly enjoyed updating the house over the years to become the lovely home it is today, but it is now time to start a new chapter in our lives.

The house is in a delightful area of Chigwell backing onto large playing fields where you enjoy a good walk. It is very convenient to be near the forest and country park at the same time it is a short walk to Chigwell station which is on the Central Line enabling commuters to be in Liverpool Street in approximately 26 minutes. Residents can enjoy a variety of top class local restaurants, bars, independent shops and sports facilities such as Chigwell Golf Club and David Lloyd Leisure. There is the excellent independent Chigwell School and outstanding state schools in the nearby vicinity. We are also not far from the M11 for access to the M25, Stansted and Cambridge.

With its delightful old buildings coupled with all the amenities needed for modern day living village area Chigwell is a special place to live and also offers the largest open spaces of any Greater London area including the 6000 acres of Epping Forest, Hainault Country Park and Roding Valley Meadows Nature Reserve.
