Property description
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1932. A spectacular location and a blissful rural setting. This fine Victorian four bedroom country house is situated in a conservation area along a private lane in its own grounds in excess of 7 acres adjacent to Warlies Park House with a unique view of the ornamental 'temple' on the hill to the rear of the property overlooking Warlies Park. The grounds comprise an intriguing 1.15 acre historic walled garden, informal front and rear gardens, light woodland areas, a 1.5 acre paddock, 0.8 acre fishing lake with island and a further pond. The grounds also feature a number of useful outbuildings which might be adapted for a variety of uses including garaging.
The house itself with a gross internal floor area of 3350 sq ft offers very adaptable accommodation including four bedrooms, wc and a bathroom on the first floor which can be accessed via two independent staircases, a large reception lounge, drawing room, morning room, spacious rear reception room overlooking the grounds, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and further living room/optional bedroom adjacent to a cloakroom and lobby with its own external access which could perhaps provide the opportunity of an annex for guests or a dependant relative.
Planning permission was granted in 2013 for a double storey extension to provide an orangery and fifth, master bedroom suite and two bathrooms. Plans are available at our Theydon Bois office for viewing.
The house is well presented but still provides a blank canvas to an incoming purchaser to apply their own style and imagination to this splendid home.
Warlies Gardens provides access to several bridle paths, footpaths and common grazing areas being situated by Epping Forest on the edge of Upshire.
Opportunities such as this are rarely available.
