11, Brook Road, Essex, IG10 1BW

Guide price £1,150,000-£1,200,000 Situated in the heart of Loughton, this substantial three bedroom semi detached family home offers approximately 2,060 sq ft of versatile accommodation, a wonderful rear garden and exciting potential for further development.

Built in 1935, the property beautifully retains a number of its original period features, including oak woodblock flooring and stained glass windows, while having been thoughtfully extended, completely refurbished in 2012 and improved for modern family living.

As you enter the property, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway, immediately giving a sense of the proportions found throughout the home.

To the front sits a generous living room, while towards the rear is a separate dining room alongside the kitchen, creating excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The ground floor was extended by the current owners following their purchase of the property in 1996, significantly enhancing the versatility of the accommodation.

A useful utility area and shower room complement the main living spaces, while the additional room currently used as a playroom and home office provides further flexibility.

With its own separate entrance and access to a shower room, this space could equally lend itself to use as an additional bedroom, guest suite or accommodation for a family member.

The property also benefits from an integral garage, providing useful storage and further potential, subject to any necessary consents.

Ascending to the first floor, there are three well proportioned double bedrooms, including two generous double bedrooms positioned to the front of the home.

The third double bedroom overlooks the rear, while a family bathroom, separate WC and excellent built in storage complete this level.

The loft has also been converted to provide a substantial usable space, currently utilised as a spare room and complemented by generous eaves storage.

This area is presently accessed via pull down loft stairs.

A permanent staircase, together with any necessary building regulation approval, would be required should a future owner wish to formally incorporate the space into the main living accommodation.

Further enhancing the potential of the property, plans were drawn up in 2019 by an accomplished local architect to substantially extend the existing home and create an impressive five to six bedroom family residence.

Planning permission was subsequently granted, demonstrating the exciting possibilities the property and plot have to offer.

The previously approved plans are included in the sale, providing a valuable starting point for any purchaser considering a future extension.

The proposed works were placed on hold during the pandemic and, subsequently, a change in family circumstances meant that the current owners no longer had the need to proceed with the extension.

Any purchaser wishing to pursue the previous scheme would need to make their own enquiries regarding current planning requirements and permissions.

Externally, the property occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.16 acres, with the rear garden extending to approximately 100 ft in length and around 40 ft in width.

The garden provides a fantastic setting for children, outdoor entertaining and family life, while also contributing to the considerable future potential of the home.

To the front, there is ample off street parking together with access to the garage. Brook Road occupies a highly convenient position in the heart of Loughton, ideal for both families and commuters.

Loughton Central Line Station is within easy walking distance, providing direct connections towards Stratford, Liverpool Street and the City, while Loughton High Road is also just moments away with its excellent selection of independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and everyday amenities.
