About this property:
Whatever you are looking for in a house this stunning and contemporary home can provide it. If you have leisure and pleasure in mind there is a gym and a heated swimming pool with a superb summer house and an outdoor catering facility. If you want to work from home there is a delightful bespoke fitted office but if you need to commute to Central London, it is only a short drive to the station that can whisk you to Liverpool Street in approximately 25 minutes. While for those who enjoy a good walk or cycle ride the property is just 20 metres from 6000 acres of Epping Forest.
This unique, three storey detached house was completely rebuilt in 2017 to an extremely high standard and, with its varied roof lines, impressive porch and high pointed central window, it has enormous appeal even before you cross the threshold. It is approached via electronic in-and-out gates that lead to a vast block paved frontage with parking for numerous vehicles, integral garage and modern porch with its double front door entrance. This opens into a vast and truly magnificent partially double height entrance hall with Crema marfil marble flooring that flows through many of the ground floor rooms and an amazing curved oak and glass staircase to the galleried landing on the first floor which overlooks the entrance hall.
For anyone who enjoys catering and entertaining the superb kitchen/breakfast area has everything you could want. It has been designed by Oakwood, one of the UK's leading kitchen specialists, and includes a plethora of glossy white flat fronted units housing two Bosch ovens, a combi microwave, a full height integrated Liebherr fridge and matching freezer, Bosch dishwasher and wine cooler. There is a large central island with an induction hob, breakfast bar with oak top as well as an adjacent utility room with pro Bosch laundry facilities. The kitchen/breakfast room continues into a spacious dining area with a wall of bi-fold doors to the terrace and double doors to the family room that also includes bi-fold doors to the terrace. There is a cloakroom and a coat cupboard as well as a beautifully fitted bespoke office with solid wood, built in shelving, desk units and a well-proportioned lounge that continues the theme of bi-fold doors to bring the outside indoors.
On the first floor are three impressive double bedrooms all with en-suite facilities, one with en-suite shower room, another with en-suite bathroom and fitted dressing room. The superb main bedroom has a large balcony which overlooks the rear garden and woodland beyond, as well as a contemporary en-suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower plus a spacious fitted dressing room. Flexibility is the key word for the two bedrooms on the top floor. They have been individually designed to be both a bedroom and studies. They each have fitted shelving and bedroom furniture including double beds that disappear into the wall when not in use as well as a fitted study area, plenty of space for a comfy sofa and en-suite shower rooms, so would be ideal for teenagers looking for a bit of privacy and independence.
The very easy to manage rear garden includes a wide terrace that surrounds the heated swimming pool and a lawn leading to a raised decked patio as well as a professionally fitted gym and the contemporary summer house with bi-fold doors to the terrace, a covered kitchen with a pizza oven, built in barbeque and bar seating area.
Sellers insight:
We bought this house because we fell in love with it and the location as soon as we walked inside. However, for family reasons, we have to move but if we could take the house with us, we would do so. It includes everything you could want in a high end family home and we have been delighted to create some bespoke rooms that have been ideal for our grown up family and working from home. It is the ultimate place for entertaining friends and family and we shall definitely miss it.
We love being able to go for walks in the forest but we can also be in the West End for shopping or going to a show within an hour door to door. There is also a good choice of primary, secondary and independent schools in the vicinity as well as various child friendly activities available. We are also close to two golf courses and not far from the town centre with its selection of independent shops, high street stores, pubs and restaurants as well as hairdressers and beauty salons and have easy access to the airports at Stansted, Luton and Heathrow via the M11 and M25. There are also local rugby and tennis clubs as well as horse riding in Epping Forest.
