Bury Road, London

Situated on Chingford’s prestigious Bury Road and backing directly onto the West Essex Golf Course, this impressive early Edwardian three-storey detached house includes a separate annex, swimming pool, double garage, and a substantial forecourt accessed via wrought iron gates.

Charming kerb appeal is provided by varied rooflines, a prominent chimneystack, and bay and diamond-pane windows. The oak front door opens to a welcoming hallway with black-and-white tiled flooring, coved ceilings, and an archway into the spacious sitting room. With its bay window, it can comfortably accommodate large family gatherings, with space for a dining table and chairs and comfortable sofas around an attractive fireplace. From here, there is access to a ground-floor shower room, the annex, the living area, and a utility room with laundry facilities and additional cooking appliances, alongside a staircase with wrought iron balustrade and understairs storage.

The living area features oak parquet flooring, a wood-surround fireplace, and a bay window, opening into a family area with diamond-pane windows on three sides and views over the garden. An entertainment room, with exposed beams, creates a traditional pub atmosphere. The T-shaped kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with stone flooring, shaker-style units, an Aga and integrated appliances, with a corridor leading to storage cupboards, a toilet and doors to the garden and forecourt. The annex, with a separate entrance, comprises a double shower room, a living room with skylights and full-height windows, a kitchen/living room with access to the rear garden, and a spacious double bedroom with exposed beams, bay window, and built-in storage. On the first-floor galleried landing, there is a bathroom and three double bedrooms with en-suite facilities. One features a tiled shower, extensive cupboards, and bay window; another offers built-in wardrobes and a bathroom with a claw-foot bath; the principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom, and an enclosed balcony with panoramic views across the garden, golf course, and Epping Forest.

The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe, and the other with a dual aspect and fitted cupboard.

The landscaped rear garden features terracing, a large, curved shrub bed, and a heated swimming pool complex with pool house, terrace, established borders, and direct access onto the golf course.

What the Owner says:

We moved here in 1981 when our children were small and have enjoyed a really lovely life here. During our time here, we have created the annex from the original garage and have modernised the property throughout, including adding en-suite facilities and the swimming pool.
