DESCRIPTION A stunning property and one of the most individual and versatile homes we have seen in many years.
Ladderstile Lodge is a grade-II-curtilage-listed detached home formed by the creation of a former barn and standing in an attractive courtyard of period properties.
In recent years, the house has been comprehensively though sympathetically modernised and exudes quality and individuality throughout.

Ladderstile Lodge stands on the southwestern edge of the town and is a pleasant stroll along the High Road or across Bell Common to the High Street where there is a great range of restaurants, shops and cafes.
Epping Forest and its wonderful walking and biking opportunities are also just on the doorstep.
