Full Description
DESCRIPTION Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this is an extraordinary opportunity to purchase a substantial and individual detached 3 (potentially 4) bedroom bungalow in a cul-de-sac position just minutes' walk from Epping High Street, its cafes, shops and restaurants as well as the Central Line station. The bungalow stands in an unusually large plot with frontage of about 100ft/30.7m and depth 79ft/24m that includes a superb grade-II listed OUTBUILDING extending to approx 435 sq.ft./40.4sq.m. that we feel could be put to a variety of uses.
This is a particularly exciting opportunity as the bungalow retains a number of original features though offers a new owner chance to undertake general updating according to their tastes and a positive response to a PRE-APP to erect a detached chalet bungalow to the side of the main property has been received. Subject to planning permission and all necessary consents there could, therefore, be an opportunity for multi-generational living side-by-side or the build and eventual sale of either bungalow.
GROUND FLOOR ENTRANCE HALL Built-in storage and cloaks cupboards. Parquet floor.
LIVING ROOM 19' 15" x 11' 11" (6.17m x 3.63m) Parquet floor and living flame gas fire.
BREAKFAST KITCHEN 24' 2" x 9' 11" (7.37m x 3.02m) DINING OR SITTING ROOM 17' 5" max x 13' 11" (5.31m x 4.24m) Measured into the projecting bay window which has French doors opening to the garden. This room, could, in the agent's opinion be separated from the hallway to create a separate and 4th bedroom.
BEDROOM 1 12' 7" x 11' 0" (3.84m x 3.35m) The measurements include a full bank of fitted wardrobes.
BEDROOM 2 11' 11" x 11' 10" (3.63m x 3.61m) Built-in storage cupboard.

WC ATTACHED DOUBLE GARAGE 17' 3" x 16' 1" (5.26m x 4.9m) Electric up and over door.

SHOWER & WC EXTERIOR The bungalow stands behind a wide lawned garden with planted borders and beds. A large driveway provides parking for approximately 4 vehicles.
The rear garden is lawned with well-stocked borders and beds and is enclosed by fencing. A paved terrace is ideally positioned to catch the sun in front of the:
BARN 22' 9" x 14' 6" (6.93m x 4.42m) Formerly part of the outbuildings to Winchelsea House that stands to the north, this useful and spacious building could, in our opinion, be put to a number of uses such as home studio, gym, garden room or even (subject to all necessary permissions and consents) an annexe. Forming the right hand section of the building is the:
'TACK ROOM' 14' 4" x 6' 10" (4.37m x 2.08m) A useful garden store that retains its cast iron fireplace.
PLANNING In April 2026, a 'Pre-App' investigation was instigated into establishing the viability of a scheme to demolish the double garage and utility room (linking the garage to the main body of the bungalow) and replacing it with a detached chalet bungalow of approximately 1200sq.ft. with off-street parking. The approximate division of the land is indicated in yellow on the accompanying site plan.
In June 2026 a positive response was received from Epping Forest District Council Planning Department suggesting "The proposed development is, in principle, acceptable and likely to be supported at application stage."
