This wonderful five bedroom detached house is the epitome of comfort and luxurious living. It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the town in a no through road but still within an easy walk of the shops, restaurants and Central Line station, making it ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful haven.
The spacious frontage provides ample off-street parking and access to the double garage. Once inside you will begin to appreciate the versatile and spacious accommodation on offer. The lounge is access via double doors and has patio doors leading out to the rear garden, whilst the family room could make an ideal office for anyone wishing to work from home. The heart of the home is the beautifully designed bespoke kitchen/dining room, which is a chef’s delight providing a wonderful space for family gathering and entertaining.
To the first floor there are five generous bedrooms, one of which has built in wardrobes an en-suite bathroom. Of the other four bedrooms, three are doubles and have built in wardrobes and fifth is a single that could be used as a nursery, office or turned into a dressing room.
For anyone looking to further enhance the home there is the potential to extend into the loft or to the rear, subject to planning permission, allowing you to create a house tailor to your exact needs.
Sellers Insight
In the days long before the Internet, we drove around Chigwell looking for houses that were for sale. We stumbled upon Great Owl Road and soon realised that was where we wanted to live. Some months later our house became available, and we bought it. The location was perfect, a quiet cul-de-sac where the children could play, plenty of space, and almost in the countryside, with a field at the end of the road.
We moved in, and within a year decided that the house wasn’t exactly as we wanted it to be. We found the best local Architect and Builder and designed exactly what we wanted. The house was extended, most rooms moved, a galleried landing added, with the integral double garage retained. The complete interior was remodelled to the highest standard, and after a year, perfection was achieved.
Next, we installed the swimming pool and landscaped the garden. The heated pool has been especially enjoyed by our children and grandchildren, creating some lovely memories. Over the years we have updated almost every area in the house, adding air conditioning, expensive lighting and the best technology that was available. Recently we have updated the kitchen/dining room, with top of the range German units and appliances.
We have spent a wonderful 37 years at Great Owl Road and are only moving to be closer to our children and their families. We are sure the next owner will love this house as much.
