6 bed detached house for sale

Ivy Chimneys, Epping CM16

A new home, made for living well.

There’s something special about being the first person to live somewhere. No previous chapters, no inherited choices. Just a beautifully finished home and the chance to make it entirely your own.

Set behind private gates and extending to more than 3,300 sq ft, this six-bedroom home has been created with a real sense of space and an attention to detail that reveals itself as you move through it. Traditional sash windows bring character to a brand-new home, while thoughtful modern touches, including solar panels, are quietly working in the background.

The kitchen sits naturally at the heart of the house. Solid in-frame cabinetry gives it a timeless, furniture-like quality, while the open connection to the dining and living spaces makes this the part of the home where life will inevitably gather. Doors onto the garden bring the outside in and make the whole space feel even more generous.

There are three reception spaces on the ground floor, but no prescribed way to use them. A quiet sitting room, somewhere to work, a place for children to disappear to, or simply rooms that evolve as life does.

And then there are the little practical details that make everyday life easier. Side access leads directly into the utility room, particularly useful for muddy shoes, wet dogs, pushchairs or anything else you'd rather not bring through the front door.

Upstairs, six bedrooms and four bathrooms are arranged across two further floors. The proportions throughout are generous, with enough flexibility for family, friends and the occasional overnight guest without ever feeling crowded.

The garden has been landscaped and is ready to settle into, while off-street parking, an EV charger and the security of a private gated setting take care of the practical side of things.

Everything here is new, but it doesn't feel like a blank box.

It feels considered, comfortable and ready to become someone's home.

EPC Rating: B

Location

Epping does the best-of-both-worlds thing rather well.

The High Street is close enough for a morning coffee, a last-minute dinner or a wander around the independents. And when you want to swap all of that for muddy boots and fresh air, Epping Forest is right there, with miles of walks to get wonderfully lost in.

The Forest Gate Inn is just around the corner too. A proper old pub on the edge of the forest and a very good reason to make the walk home take a little longer.

And yes, when real life calls, Epping Station and the Central line are within easy reach.

Garden (16.9m x 11.4m)

Some of the best moments happen when the doors are wide open and nobody's watching the clock. The bi-fold doors bring the garden into the heart of the home, with a generous patio for slow Sunday mornings, impromptu get-togethers and evenings that last longer than planned. Framed by bamboo for a little extra privacy, it's a lovely place to lose track of time.
