5 bed barn conversion for sale

Copped Hall, Epping, Essex CM16

Converted in the 1990s to a stunning and characterful home this barn conversion is just one of three that surround the courtyard and is accessed through a period style front door that opens into the hallway with a double storage cupboard. The hallway leads to a charming snug with a central painted beam and built in cupboards and shelving that could always become an office for anyone working from home.

The delightful and spacious country kitchen/breakfast room has an exposed central beam and a plethora of windows overlooking the surrounding grounds. It includes an Aga range cooker and attractive shaker style units housing a built-in stove, an American fridge freezer and plenty of space for additional stand-alone appliances. There is plenty of room for a large farmhouse style table and chairs and access to the adjacent utility room as well as to the charming and spacious conservatory/dining room. This has fascinating built in shelving, windows on three sides with French doors to the terrace and is large enough to have a table that seats at least a dozen people for family celebrations and dinner parties, while still leaving enough room for a seating area.

The hallway also has stairs to the first floor, a cloakroom and leads to the elegant and well-proportioned dual aspect sitting room. This has a beautiful brick surround chimney breast and fireplace with an open fire that makes a wonderful focal point and a great place to cosy up to on a cold winter's evening.

Off the first-floor galleried landing you will find the bathroom as well as five bedrooms with wonderful views. Two of the double bedrooms have built in cupboards and another includes a dressing area with fitted cupboards and an en-suite bathroom with a separate shower and bath.

Access to the garden is via the conservatory with steps down to a terrace which leads to a gorgeous walled rose arbour opening up into the main garden where you will find a large terrace for al fresco dining or just sitting in the sunshine admiring the far reaching views. There is also an attractive raised shingle shrub bed, and a large lawn surrounded by magnificent trees and shrubs.

What the Owner says:
We bought this charming property 27 years ago while we were looking for a more permanent home, but we loved the house and the area so much we then bought the property next door and together they have created a wonderful home for all the family. However, with all our children having flown the nest we sadly feel it is time for us to downsize.

The unique location is wonderful as we can wander into the vast Copped Hall Park and stroll or cycle into Epping Forest without having to go on any main roads. The wildlife here is amazing as the previous owner of Copped Hall didn't approve of shooting, so the grounds became a haven for a variety of animals and birds. Apart from the beauty of the surroundings, it is also a very safe and secure environment with CCTV at the entrance gates and a floodlit courtyard as well as a residents' association and WhatsApp group where everyone keeps an eye out for any strangers, so this would be an ideal home for anyone wishing to remain out of the spotlight and keep their homelife private.

Although we are surrounded by the delights of Copped Hall Park, we are only three minutes' drive from Epping town centre and only five minutes from Epping Station, which is on the Central Line so trains can whisk you to the City of London within about half an hour.
