About
Forest Drive, Theydon Bois, Epping, Essex, CM16 7Ez Offers Over £1,100,000 chain free: Lovely opportunity to buy a substantial five bedroom family-sized home in a great village location.
This attractive house is offered with no onward chain and although it has been extended, there is still the potential to expand into the loft should you wish to do so (subject to building regs & pp).
The current owners have lived here for many years, extending and modernising the house as their family have grown so there's plenty of versatile accommodation throughout.
The original two reception rooms are now one large living room, with a charming fireplace and plenty of space for a dining table.
The extension to the rear of the house now has an open plan kitchen/family room overlooking the garden. There is also a separate utility room, shower room and study.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms and the family bathroom with bath tub.
A lovely secluded garden can be reached from the vast patio area, perfect for get togethers and at the bottom of the garden there's a large summer house, with it's own patio area, shower and W.C.
There is parking at the front for several cars. The house is only a short stroll from the central line station, local shops, beauticians and hairdressers, great restaurants and two village pubs.
The Green, playground and duck pond are a few minutes further as are the thriving cricket and tennis clubs.
There is a golf club a short drive away and access to the M11 and M25 is around 10 minutes drive.
The Village Montessori Nursery, Theydon Bois Pre and Primary School are close by, and senior school aged children are catered for with Davenant Foundation and Debden Park Schools nearby.
There are also pick up points from the village to various state and independent schools including St Edmunds, Anglo European, St Nicholas, New Hall and JCoSS.
