High Road, North Weald, Epping, Essex, CM16

Location, location and location are always considered the number one priority when buying a home and this five bedroom detached house has it in spades. It is just one of five houses in the charming enclave of Bassetts Fields which backs onto Blakes Golf Course and is surrounded by countryside. At the same time it is only a short drive to Epping underground station where the Central Line trains can whisk you to Liverpool Street in approximately 40 minutes, so is ideal for commuters. While, from an educational point of view, there are excellent state and independent schools and colleges within the vicinity.

The house includes a very large, block paved driveway where you can park numerous vehicles. It leads to a large detached pitched room double garage that could always be converted into separate accommodation, subject to the appropriate permissions being obtained, as well as to the front door. The good sized entrance hall provides access to all the rooms on the ground floor including the family room that is ideal for anyone looking to work from home as it is just inside the front door overlooking the drive, so it means business visitors do not need to venture into the private areas in the home.

There is a cloakroom and a well-proportioned dining room with a large storage cupboard for those more formal occasions and family celebrations as well as a very spacious and impressive light and bright dual aspect sitting room approached through double doors. It has solid wood flooring, a charming stone surround fireplace as a focal point and French doors to the rear terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room includes a range cooker and wood units with granite worktops housing a double oven and gas hob as well as an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher but still leaves plenty of space for a table and chairs. There is an adjacent utility room with laundry facilities and a door to the garden.

Off the spacious landing on the first floor there is a store cupboard, a bathroom and five double bedrooms including one with and en-suite shower and a larger one with fitted cupboards and a large en-suite shower room and stunning views across the golf course and the countryside beyond. The very easy to manage rear garden includes a vast terrace that spans the width of the property and is just the place to enjoy outdoor entertaining while revelling in the far reaching views as well as a large lawn that is ideal for kids to kick a ball around and play with the dog.

What the Owner says:

We bought this house from new over 22 years ago and it has been a wonderful family home, but there is also great potential for new owners to develop it even further and really make it their own. We really love the area and have moved to somewhere smaller in the same vicinity now the family have grown up so the house is immediately available with no onward chain. As well as the fabulous location we were also attracted to the variety of schools available including the local primary school. North Weald Bassett is a charming village in the Epping Forest district and is famous for its weekly market held on the North Weald Airfield and the Blakes Golf Club.

As well as the Central Line station at Epping we are also close to the M11 motorway, providing access to the M25 so travelling to all parts of the country is simple. Epping includes delightful period properties lining the High Street in a Conservation Area, such as the council office with its clock tower and the Gothic Revival water tower. It has a Monday market that has been in existence since the 13th century and has more than 80 different stalls. There is a hospital and a wide range of shops, excellent restaurants, bars and cafes while sporting enthusiasts can join cricket and football clubs as well as great places to go for walks, cycle rides and horse riding.
