Property Information

In our opinion this detached house is set within a very desirable turning and offers tremendous scope to refurbish and enlarge the accommodation. Potential options that buyers can consider are, extending to the garage side of the property, extending to the rear of the home, incorporating a lower ground floor, the possibility of a loft conversion or even a front extension. Some buyers may even consider the option of replacing the existing property with a new build, all of which would be subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions.

What we particularly like about the house is the rear garden, it provides a sense of privacy, being enclosed by mature shrubs and trees. A heated swimming pool is the answer to cooling off on a hot summer’s day and it provides endless hours of entertainment for the children during the school summer holidays. Whilst for adults there is a spacious raised balcony, the ideal spot to sit and relax with a glass of wine whilst keeping a watch over the children.

Internally the accommodation is well proportioned, there is a spacious entrance hall providing an impressive welcome to the home. The sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room are the key rooms to the ground floor, they are spacious enough for the family to get together for cooking, eating and relaxing, and both rooms have sliding patio doors opening onto the raised balcony.

Adjoining the kitchen is the utility room and a dining room, which again has a patio door opening onto the balcony. There is also a family room, an ideal space for working from home, the children to do their studies or simply it is a space to escape to in order to watch that favourite television programme.

The owners say:

We have lived here for 20 years, and it has been a lovely family home but we are downsizing although staying in the same charming area. We love the spacious entrance hall, the large rooms and wonderful views which makes you feel you are surrounded by nature without even having to go outside.

This house has great potential to be extended. You could create a basement, build over the existing garage as well as converting the loft. Additionally, you could also build another garage, subject to the necessary permissions.

There are a number of parks nearby including Fairlop Waters Country Park that caters for water sports enthusiasts, while top class pubs and restaurants include the King William IV pub and the Sheesh Turkish restaurant, housed in the historic Ye Olde Kings Head, believed to be the setting for the Maypole pub in Charles Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge. Brook Parade has delightful independent shops, while sports facilities include Chigwell Golf Club, the Woolston Manor Golf and Country Club and the David Lloyd Leisure Centre. Central Line trains from Grange Hill and Chigwell will whisk commuters to Liverpool Street in approximately 26 minutes and we are not far from the M11 for access to the M25.

Excellent educational facilities are available including the independent Chigwell School and good state schools such as the Outstanding Ray Lodge primary school and West Hatch, Ilford County High School grammar school and Debden Park High School.
