A former school to an exceptional family home, this beautiful retreat retains much of its Victorian charm whilst undergoing a modern day makeover. Four bedrooms, internal annexe, stunning grounds - all nestled within picturesque High Laver - it’s an absolute gem!

We love a home that’s full of history. Truly unique, here find something special to love and care for years to come. Inside, a collection of rooms filled with light and life combine both beauty and function. A gorgeous entrance hall takes centre stage with its vaulted ceiling and galleried landing. A home fit to entertain, each room is beautifully spacious and seamlessly connected, with a kitchen/breakfast room, utility / boot room, sunlit dining room, plus two living rooms used as a snug or to host guests. Along with a ground floor WC, theres also an internal connected self-contained annexe space, with a bedroom, spacious bathroom, living room and kitchenette. Perhaps the perfect home for growing in-laws, guests, or even a hideaway for growing teens.

Upstairs the rooms are equally spacious and light-filled. Here find a bathroom with its tub and separate shower, plus three double bedrooms - the primary of which includes it’s own walk-through dressing area. What’s more, one of the rooms also includes spacious mezzanine storage - always a bonus to have.

Completely enchanting, outside reveals a garden filled with lush planting and gorgeous green lawns. Retaining its original outdoor loo and with heaps of space for garden games, alfresco dining and summer soirees, this joyful space is the ultimate hosting spot.

Nestled between the villages of Moreton and Matching Green, High Laver offers Essex rural living at its very best. For those new to the area, some local recommendations include dinner or lunch at either The Chequers or Dog & Pickle, or for a coffee and catch-up with friends you’re just a short drive to the nearby towns of Epping, Ongar and Harlow. With the M11 also a short drive away, this is a wonderful location and setting to be.
