Description

This property presents a unique investment opportunity, set on a substantial plot of nearly one acre in the scenic countryside of Matching Tye. With planning permission already secured from Epping Forest Council for a contemporary two-storey family home, the approved design features four spacious double bedrooms, including options for en-suite facilities in all rooms. The ground floor layout is well-conceived for modern living, featuring an expansive open-plan kitchen/diner/family room and additional spaces such as a separate living room, study, snug, utility room, and welcoming entrance hall. Currently, the site includes a three-bedroom detached house that offers immediate accommodation while providing potential for development or extension, subject to necessary approvals. Inside, this home comprises a fitted kitchen, ample lounge area, dining room, and an office space on the ground floor; upstairs hosts three generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The exterior is equally appealing with a sweeping driveway leading to a tranquil pond and expansive views that enhance the property’s charm. A mature garden provides privacy and peace. Additionally, there is a detached two-bedroom annex equipped with its own kitchen and bathroom—perfect for guest accommodation or multi-generational living. Situated conveniently near transport links and local schools, this property not only offers immediate lifestyle benefits but also significant potential for transformation into a grand residence in a picturesque setting.
