Description

A beautiful four bedroom Victorian home arranged across three floors and sitting in one of Epping’s most desirable roads. A period home with a modern twist, we’re in love with this one!
Filled to the brim with characterful houses, a friendly community and just a moments’ walk to Epping’s gorgeous high street – it’s easy to see why this is such a much-loved road. Offering all the classic charm of a traditional Victorian, yet with some superb modern additions including a third floor, there’s a wonderful feeling about this home both outside and in. Calmingly pared-back in its design, step inside to find warm wood flooring and fresh white walls within an open plan living / dining room. We love the front bay window and brick feature fire adding plenty of character. A contrasting palette of dusky deep blue fills the kitchen, which is galley style with side access onto the rear garden beyond. Upstairs the second floor is home to two double bedrooms and a third single - perhaps a great at-home workspace if needed. The family bathroom can also be found on this floor. Take the stairs to the top floor where the primary suite awaits. Full of light this is a beautiful space with sliding doors overlooking the rear garden plus an ensuite shower room, walk-in wardrobe and storage area.
Outside the rear garden is a superb size, filled with a lawn and patio area along with a raised border of low maintenance planting. What’s more, there’s also handy rear access.
If you’re new to CM16s charms, get set to explore a wonderfully vibrant market town with great commuter links including Epping Underground Station, and all the beauty of Epping Forest close by. At the weekends, take a morning stroll along the local high street for fresh coffee and a pastry from Fred & Doug’s or GAIL’s, followed by the weekly shop at Church’s Butchers, M&S or Tesco. All told – a great place to live!

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
