What the Owner says:
This has been a truly happy family home, and we shall be sad to leave but feel it is time to downsize. Over the years we have enjoyed extending and modernising the property including the kitchen, the cinema room and the terrace where we have been able to entertain friends and family.

Loughton is a charming town with plenty of pubs, restaurants, shops and sports facilities, including the Loughton Leisure Centre. While golfing enthusiasts can play at the Epping golf course and Hobbs Cross Golf Centre.

There are excellent schools in the area including Hereward Primary and Debden Park High School, both rated Outstanding by Ofsted as well as good, independent schools. There is also the station providing easy access to Central London, we are only a short distance to the M11 for the M25 providing access to Stansted, Heathrow and Cambridge.
