What the Owner says: 'We bought this property from new some 30 years ago as we loved this particular house and also the surroundings which, were designed to reflect the character of a traditional English village, with individually styled homes arranged around landscaped greens and communal spaces, creating a unique and established setting. Also, as it is in a cul-de-sac and a gated community, it is very secure, as well as being safe for children and pets. The security aspect has been particularly important as we are often away so it can be of benefit to those with a lock-up-and-go lifestyle. It is also great to be so close to the 6000 acres of Epping Forest where we can go for walks or cycle rides and feel we are in the country, yet we are not far from the centre of the town. Loughton is a charming town with plenty of pubs, restaurants and independent shops as well as sports and entertainment including golf courses and the Loughton Leisure Centre with an indoor swimming pool. There is a wide selection of schools in the area including Hereward Primary and Debden Park High School, both rated Outstanding by Ofsted, as well as good independent schools. The town is on the Underground's Central Line that can whisk you to Stratford in 20 minutes and Liverpool Street in about half an hour, so is ideal for commuters wanting to travel to the City or the West End. As far as road travel is concerned it is only a short distance to the M11 for the M25 as well as access to Stansted, Heathrow and Cambridge.'

Occupying an elevated position on one of Harrow-on-the-Hill’s most prestigious private roads, The Oaks & The Sheiling is a substantial late Victorian residence dating back to 1884, originally designed by the renowned architect Robert “Bungalow” Briggs. Set within a peaceful, no-through road and surrounded by similarly distinguished homes, the property offers a rare combination of historical significance, generous proportions and exceptional future potential. The property is believed to have once been home to Sir Frank Whittle, the pioneering inventor of the jet engine, during the 20th century. Held within the same family for over 50 years, the home has been carefully maintained and adapted during their ownership, with improvements undertaken several decades ago to suit family life at the time.

Architecturally, both elements remain highly attractive, with The Oaks distinguished by its stonework and The Sheiling recognised by its gables and tile-hung elevations, each enjoying excellent privacy and far-reaching views. Internally, a wealth of original features remain in place, including oak panelling, fireplaces, leaded light windows and traditional bay elevations, all offering a strong foundation for restoration. The existing layout reflects the needs of a previous era, with later alterations—such as the opening up of the kitchen space to create a larger family area—now offering scope for further enhancement in line with modern expectations. The grounds are a particular highlight, with mature gardens surrounding the home and a charming private orchard situated to the rear, which is included within the sale. Offering a rare sense of space and tranquillity, the orchard provides a wonderful extension of the garden and an opportunity to create a secluded outdoor retreat, productive kitchen garden or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The property also benefits from a substantial garage and generous off-street parking. The location is particularly attractive for families, with the world-renowned Harrow School just moments away, alongside a wide selection of highly regarded local schools. St Dominic's Sixth Form College is also within easy walking distance. Excellent transport links are provided by both Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan Line) and South Harrow (Piccadilly Line) stations, offering convenient access into Central London. Opportunities of this nature are increasingly rare—offering scale, character and, crucially, the flexibility to create a truly bespoke home in one of the area’s most sought-after locations. Whether restoring its original charm or pursuing a more contemporary vision, The Oaks & The Sheiling represents a unique chance to unlock significant long-term value.
