7 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

Planning permission to create a home of grand stature on one of Chigwell's most desirable and secluded residential plots.

The current owners have planning consent for the demolition of the main barn and construction of a new substantial residential home. There would be the opportunity for any buyer to alter the existing planning consent to create their own personalised scheme in excess of 10,000 sq ft, subject to planning.
Currently within the 21 acre site is a range of buildings consisting of a main two storey barn dwelling, attached to this is a further single storey barn dwelling with far reaching views across the parkland and the lake. Across the central courtyard is a further work shop which has the potential to be a multi car garage or substantial gymnasium (subject to planning). There are also three further buildings, one of which currently has residential use and would act well as an annex to the main house with its walled garden. The courtyard and buildings are accessed from a winding tree lined drive way ensuring total privacy.
The property is located within a 21 acre site made up of parklands in three main areas. The first area is planted with a range of trees and shrubbery and is located to the rear of the proposed new building. It lends itself well to a private and secluded garden to the main house. The largest area of parkland leads down to a picturesque lake and is planted with a number of well established coniferous and deciduous trees and offers extensive views across the countryside. Behind the main workshop is an open field, this land offers live stock possibilities and equestrian potential.

Highwood is exceptionally well positioned; both the City and West End are within easy reach via excellent transport links at Chigwell (2.8 miles) and Debden (2.1 miles) underground stations (Central line). The M25, M11 and North Circular are all close by, yet the property and land has a very secluded and private feel to it. Both City Airport (14 miles) and Stanstead Airport (24 miles) are easily accessible. There is an abundance of shopping facilities available in Loughton, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell, as well as the new Westfield shopping complex located in Stratford (11.3 miles).
There is a wealth of schools in the local area at both junior and senior level, including some sought after high performing senior schools of Bancroft in Woodford Green, Chigwell School in Chigwell and Forest Scholl in Snaresbrook.
All areas and distances are approximate and subject to survey.
