New Road, Lambourne End, Essex RM4

Offering over 3,100 sq ft of contemporary accommodation across three floors, Nouvelle is an individual family home with an exceptional specification, including a private cinema, infrared sauna, games room and double garage with bespoke car turntable. Positioned beside Hainault Forest and within easy reach of Chigwell and the Central Line, it combines impressive lifestyle features with excellent connectivity to London.

At the heart of the house is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed around both everyday family life and entertaining. A striking floating staircase provides an architectural focal point, while the contemporary kitchen features Siemens appliances, a wine fridge and generous breakfast bar. Floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors open directly onto the landscaped garden and terrace, creating a natural connection between the house and its outdoor space.

The lower ground floor is one of Nouvelle's defining features. A private cinema, games room and infrared sauna create a dedicated leisure level, complemented by a shower room and utility facilities. The cinema also provides flexibility for occasional guest accommodation when required.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, with the principal suite providing an impressive private retreat with a dressing area, en-suite shower room and full-width bi-folds overlooking the garden. The remaining bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family life, guests or home working.

Throughout the house, the specification reflects its contemporary design, with underfloor heating, air conditioning, multi-room Sonos, CCTV and an alarm system.

Outside, the landscaped garden has been designed to provide an attractive and manageable setting for entertaining and relaxing without the upkeep associated with a substantial country plot. To the front, the double garage incorporates a bespoke car turntable, providing one of the home's most distinctive features.

Despite its private setting, Nouvelle is particularly well connected. Grange Hill Underground Station is approximately 2.8 miles away, providing Central Line services into London, while Chigwell and its excellent selection of restaurants, shops and amenities are also within easy reach. Hainault Forest Country Park is close by, providing extensive woodland and open space for walking and recreation.

For those seeking substantial contemporary living, outstanding leisure space and convenient access to London, Nouvelle offers a compelling alternative to the traditional country house.

The owners say: “What we have loved most about Nouvelle is the amount of space it gives everyone, while still feeling connected as a family. The kitchen and living area has been the heart of the house and a wonderful space for entertaining, while the cinema, games room and sauna give everyone somewhere to relax. We have also loved having Hainault Forest so close, without the maintenance that comes with owning a large amount of land.”
