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.'
