Epping Upland, Essex CM16

Buzzards View is a remarkable Grade II listed barn conversion enjoying an idyllic rural position on the edge of Epping Upland. Surrounded by open fields and far reaching views, it offers a rare blend of heritage architecture, modern comfort and a peaceful countryside setting, all within easy reach of Epping, Harlow and excellent London connections.

A dramatic reception hall forms the heart of the home, with double height vaulted ceilings and an impressive display of exposed timbers creating a striking first impression. Light floods the space, emphasising the barn’s scale, character and sense of openness.

The principal bedroom sits on a mezzanine overlooking the reception hall and enjoys wonderful rural views, extensive fitted storage and a well appointed en suite. The ground floor provides further versatility with two generous double bedrooms and a spacious single. One double benefits from a large dressing area and its own en suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a stylish shower room.

The farmhouse style kitchen and dining area is a warm, welcoming space with flagstone flooring, a traditional AGA and lovely countryside views. A practical utility area sits alongside the kitchen, as well as an additional room that offers excellent flexibility as a home office, studio or family room.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A private driveway leads to a detached garage, with an adjoining ancillary room previously used as a home office and gym, ideal for those seeking additional lifestyle or work from home space.

The grounds are a standout feature. Two substantial field areas extend the property’s rural appeal and offer superb potential for recreational, agricultural or equestrian use, subject to any necessary consents.

Seller’s Insight

“We have loved living at Buzzards View for almost twenty years. The peace and tranquillity here are truly special, and waking up to the rolling countryside never loses its appeal. The barn has such wonderful character, and the land has given us the lifestyle we hoped for.

One of my favourite things has always been the sunsets, they are truly breathtaking here. I would often rush home along the lane just to catch them; watching the sky blaze over the fields became a daily ritual that never lost its magic.

Despite feeling wonderfully rural, we are only a short drive from Epping, Harlow and excellent transport links — the perfect balance of countryside living and convenience.”
