Description

This substantial countryside property presents a unique development opportunity, featuring nearly one acre of land in the scenic locale of Matching Tye. With approved planning permission from Epping Forest Council for a modern two-storey detached family home, this site is designed to accommodate a spacious four-bedroom layout with potential for all bedrooms to include en-suite facilities. The proposed ground floor boasts an open-plan kitchen/diner/family area, alongside additional living spaces such as a snug and study, making it ideal for contemporary family living. Currently, the plot is home to a three-bedroom detached residence that offers immediate habitation or further enhancement possibilities (contingent on obtaining necessary consents). This existing dwelling includes a fitted kitchen, expansive lounge, separate dining room, and a dedicated home office. Upstairs are three well-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The outdoor space is distinguished by a sweeping driveway with ample parking leading to a serene pond, complemented by expansive countryside views. The private mature garden adds to the tranquility of the setting. Additionally, there is a two-bedroom detached annex that features its own kitchen and bathroom, providing versatile accommodation options for guests or extended family. This property not only showcases significant renovation potential but also offers opportunities for expansion or redesigning in alignment with modern living needs.
