A Home That Balances Peace, Practicality and Personality — With London Just 30 Minutes Away

Set on the quiet edge of Roydon village, surrounded by greenery and just minutes from stunning river walks, this modern three-bedroom home offers something most buyers only dream of:

Rural calm
Low-maintenance living
Easy access to London
And a layout that just makes life work.

From the outside, you’d be forgiven for not realising how much is on offer here. But step inside, and everything begins to unfold.

The House

The layout is clever, flexible and filled with light. At the heart of the home is the kitchen-diner — brightened dramatically by bifold doors that lead straight onto the patio. Outside, planters and a living vertical wall create a colourful backdrop that changes with the seasons. A once-dark room is now the brightest part of the home, and the bifolds blur the line between indoors and out.

The living room sits to the front — a quiet retreat that’s particularly cosy in winter. In summer, doors stay open and the flow from one space to the next feels open and airy, but with enough definition to offer separation when you need it.

Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom cover the first floor — but the real highlight is one floor up.

The principal bedroom is a full loft-level suite, complete with Juliet balcony, floor-to-ceiling glass, and an elevated view of nothing but green. Even in winter, when the trees are bare, you’re not overlooked. It’s quiet. Peaceful. Genuinely restorative.

And the ensuite? A spa-like space with a deep bath, walk-in shower, full tiling, and underfloor heating. A proper sanctuary — luxurious, oversized, and designed with intention.

The Garden

The garden is one of this home’s most loved features — not because it’s huge, but because of how it works. It wraps fully around the house, catching morning sun on the AstroTurf play zone (originally built for basketball), and transitioning into a south-west-facing patio and seating area that’s bathed in light all afternoon.

It’s low-maintenance by design, but it doesn’t feel sterile. Think landscaped planters, hidden pockets of shade, and enough green to make you forget you’re minutes from a station.

There’s a fully powered summer house too — ideal as a third living room, work-from-home space, or a peaceful bolt-hole to curl up with a book while the kids play outside.

 • Buyers who want modern convenience without compromise
 • Someone who will appreciate the thought, care, and quality put into every upgrade

This is a fresh, professionally handled relaunch — the photos, video and marketing have been designed to do this home justice after a previously underwhelming campaign. If you’ve seen it before, it’s time to take another look.
