Property description
A vast dual aspect sitting room incorporates many of these features including an ornate marble fireplace, while guests will be delighted to be entertained in the elegant and well-proportioned dining room that is surrounded by attractive pine walling panelling with built in shelving, a pine fireplace and original wood shutters on the sash windows. The equally good sized breakfast area includes built in shelving and is open plan to the kitchen that has modern shaker style white units with built in appliances a door to the multi-purpose utility room with laundry facilities and a freezer as well as access to the cloakroom and the delightful listed conservatory area.

What the Owner says:
We moved here some 28 years ago and it has been a wonderful family home and a great place to bring up our family but we feel it is now time for us to downsize. It is a splendid place for fun and entertaining, whether it is having a barbecue, putting a marquee in the grounds for our daughter's wedding with 200 guests or creating a football pitch for our son to kick a ball around. We also built the annex using reclaimed bricks and roof tiles so it matched the main house to provide a great games room for all the family and their friends. However it could always be converted into additional living accommodation or offices if required.
We are in a great location as the property is along a small, cul-de-sac so it is not only very quiet but also safe for children and pets. The London Loop walking trail runs past the house and provides excellent opportunities to go for a good walk with the dog. At the same time, it is less than a mile to Grange Hill station where the Central Line underground trains can whisk you to Liverpool Street in approximately half an hour, so commuting to London is very easy.
With its delightful old buildings coupled with all the amenities needed for modern day living, Chigwell is a special place to live. It offers the largest open spaces of any Greater London area that includes Epping Forest, Hainault Country Park and Roding Valley Meadows Nature Reserve.
