Tawney Lane, Stapleford Tawney

DESCRIPTION Built in the Victorian era as a schoolroom for the hamlet of Stapleford Tawney, this semi-detached house has been created through a programme of conversion that has retained a wealth of character and charm and now offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and, perhaps, reconfigure or extend the property for their own needs (according to all necessary permissions). Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this large cottage (over 1850sq.ft.) is one of just a handful of period properties including the beautiful St Mary's Church that stands in open countryside to the East of Epping, Theydon Bois and Loughton - all of which offer great choices of shops, restaurants and other amenities including their Central Line Underground stations. A large carport is complemented by ample driveway parking and the generous west-facing garden backs directly onto meadows giving gorgeous far-reaching views.
