What the Owner says:
We have lived here since 2017 and it has been a very happy family home. We thoroughly enjoyed updating and redesigning it in a Mediterranean style in 2022 and were very proud to receive an award from the International Architecture and Design awards last year. However, we feel it is now time for us to move to pastures new and let another family enjoy this very special home.

We are in an excellent location as we can easily walk into the village and the station in only six to 10 minutes. This is on the Central Line so you can be in the City of London in approximately 30 minutes. There is also easy access to the M11 and M25 and the excellent town of Loughton is only a couple of miles away.

Theydon Bois is a fascinating village with an iconic avenue of trees and virtually no streetlights as the residents felt they would detract from the traditional village ambience. The village includes a well-respected primary school, pubs and restaurants, a Tesco supermarket, a variety of independent shops, as well as a dentist and a doctor's surgery. There is also a golf course, tennis club and cricket club.
