Description

This stunning five-bedroom detached house, built in 1937, is nestled in the peaceful cul-de-sac of Field Close, a highly sought-after residential road in Buckhurst and Woodford Green. The property has been in the same family for over 60 years and boasts a unique plot with exceptional potential for renovation and extension. With planning permission already granted for a two-storey side and rear extension, the buyer can create a modern family home with a total floor area of 4,500 square feet. The house retains many original 1930s features, including parquet flooring and oak panelling, and offers large windows, a spacious garden, and a detached double garage. The garden is truly extraordinary, featuring an apple orchard, mature shrubbery, and a large summerhouse, as well as a private gate leading directly into protected woodland. The property is a rare opportunity to purchase a home with such a lovely plot, offering the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and nature.
