What the owners say: We moved here in 2017 when our daughters were teenagers as it was an ideal house, providing enough room for each of them to have their own space and somewhere they could entertain their friends. Indeed, it is a great place for entertaining and we have wonderful memories of parties around the pool, barbecues on the terrace and indoor family get togethers. However, as they have now grown up, we feel it is time to start a new chapter in our lives. Having direct access to Epping Forest is wonderful as the dogs thoroughly enjoy walks there every day and we can stop off at the Foresters Arms pub as it is very dog friendly! The forest also has excellent cycle tracks and bridle paths and, although we are only about half a mile from the centre of Loughton, you feel you are in the countryside. Loughton is a charming town with plenty of pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, boutiques and salons. There are plenty of sports clubs and facilities including the Loughton Leisure Centre and the Epping Golf Course or the Hobbs Cross Golf Centre. There are a wide selection of excellent state and private schools in the area and the station is on the Central Line with trains to Liverpool Street only taking around half an hour. Good transport links mean it is only a short distance to the M11 for the M25 as well as access to Stansted, Heathrow and Cambridge.
