Ripley View, Loughton, Essex

Ripley View is a prestigious cul-de-sac with only a handful of detached houses. The house has been updated and designed with leisure and entertaining in mind and has a heated pool, a large terrace and an outbuilding, used as a garden room. It is approached via a pair if automatic wrought iron gates that open onto a block paved frontage for off street parking and provides access to the integral garage.

The entrance hall has porcelain floor tiles that flow throughout the ground floor. There is a superb light and bright sitting room with patio doors to the rear terrace and glazed double doors to the large dining room.

The kitchen/breakfast room includes a central island/breakfast bar and flat-fronted cream units with granite worktops housing various appliances. There is access to the terrace, the garage, the utility room, and the entertainment room with a black quartz bar incorporating fitted shelving, a sink and kitchen appliances as well as a TV and surround sound speakers along with a separate shower room. Patio doors open onto the terrace and there are also stairs up to bedroom one, with an en-suite shower room, so this area could become a separate annex. Additionally on the ground floor is a cloakroom, shower room, gym and an office.

The large galleried landing leads to four further double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom, with bedroom three also featuring an en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe.

To the rear the block paved terrace continues round to the Nipa covered hot tub. It is bordered by a low wall with a pond and water feature plus a pathway leading to the heated pool surrounded by block paving that continues to the end of the garden where there are two thatched gazebos for outdoor entertaining and an outbuilding. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn with trees and shrub borders.

What the Owner says:

We have thoroughly enjoyed living here and are only moving as our children are grown up and we feel it is time to downsize. Over the years we have completely refurbished and updated the house to create the very special home.

The location is ideal as it is quiet and peaceful and very safe for children and pets. We are only a couple of minutes' walk from the forest where the dogs can roam freely and where you can cycle or ride horses.

We are also close to the centre of Loughton where the underground station on the Central Line can whisk you to Liverpool Street in approximately half an hour and we are only a short distance from the M11 for the M25.

Loughton is a charming town with plenty of pubs, restaurants and independent shops as well Loughton Leisure Centre with a large indoor swimming pool. There is a wide selection of schools in the area including the Davenant Foundation School, Hereward Primary and Debden Park High schools, as well as good independent schools.

We are not far from Theydon Bois with its iconic avenue of trees and virtually no streetlights as the residents felt they would detract from the traditional village ambience. The village includes a well-respected primary school, excellent pub restaurants including the Queen Victoria and The Bull. There is also a golf course, tennis club and cricket club.
