Seller Insight 'We bought this house as we were charmed by its character and history, and the fact that we had direct access to the forest, as we wanted our young twin daughters to enjoy the delights of the countryside, but we still needed to be near London for work. On the one hand, we can enjoy walks, cycle and horse rides in the forest or stop off at the Foresters or Gardeners Arms pubs for a drink or a meal. Loughton is a charming town with plenty of pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, boutiques and salons as well as specialist shops such as the Ginger Pig butchers and Gail’s bakery. There are also a number of sports clubs and facilities, including the Loughton Leisure Centre with a large indoor swimming pool, while golfing aficionados can play at the Epping golf course of the Hobbs Cross Golf Centre. There is a wide selection of schools in the area, including Staples Road Primary, Hereward Primary and Debden Park High School, as well as good, independent schools. The town is on the London Underground’s Central Line, which can whisk you to Stratford in 20 minutes and Liverpool Street in about half an hour, so it 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.'
