Description

This property presents a significant development opportunity, situated on just under an acre of picturesque countryside in Matching Tye. With approved planning permission from Epping Forest Council for a contemporary two-storey family home, the plans include a four-bedroom detached residence designed to enhance both internal and external space. The envisioned layout boasts four double bedrooms, with two featuring en-suite bathrooms, along with a family bathroom that could potentially be adapted to accommodate en-suites for all bedrooms. The ground floor is strategically designed to facilitate modern living with an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, a separate living room, study, snug, utility room, entrance hall, and a WC. Currently occupying the plot is an existing three-bedroom detached house that offers immediate habitable accommodation while also holding further renovation or extension possibilities (subject to approvals). This property includes a fitted kitchen, spacious lounge, dining room, and a dedicated home office downstairs, complemented by three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The exterior features prominently include a sweeping driveway leading to ample parking and a charming pond alongside breathtaking views that stretch across the countryside. Additionally, the mature rear garden ensures privacy and tranquillity. A detached two-bedroom annexe is also part of the property, equipped with its own kitchen and bathroom—ideal for guests or multi-generational living arrangements. Local amenities such as Harlow Mill Station (3.6 miles), Epping Station (10 miles), M11 junction (3.6 miles), as well as schools like St Nicolas School (2.7 miles) and Bishops Stortford College (9.1 miles) are conveniently located nearby.
