It's located in a lovely, quiet and friendly village a stone's throw away from the beautiful Mersea Island. It was originally a three-bedroom bungalow that was situated on a 2.5 acre plot. As soon as I viewed Wheatlands, I knew this place had a lot of potential. The stunning garden and breathtaking sea view, finalised my decision to purchase Wheatlands. Six months later I had the keys and my journey to building my dream home began. I started by demolishing the old bungalow and the groundworks shortly followed. A lot of time and effort went into to every last detail. The whole project included crucial decisions for every material used to create a very high specification house. Old farmhouse bricks, featuring a birds peak point and crafted oak beams were imperative decisions for a modern build to include a warm, country feel. The hand cut roof and other features such as, clay peg tiles and hard wooden windows/doors ensure the external is sightly and high quality. Internally the specifications are endless. The oak herringbone floor is definitely an eye catcher for those that step through the door of Wheatlands, Along side the hand crafted kitchen that has bought many compliments over the years. My personal favourite feature of the kitchen is the Buster and Punch lighting. Both the kitchen and utility feature Perrin and Rowe handles and a beautiful, natural stone work surface. Tulipwood skirtings and architraves also feature throughout. While planning the layout, I envisioned a very social space with built in Sonos speakers, this has been the perfect set up for gatherings and celebrations with family and friends. As I watched my dream turn into reality I would picture my future in this house. I would imagine starting my day, waking up to a beautiful sunset view & finishing my day relaxing in a cosy, fire lit space. in 2020, this soon became reality when Wheatlands was built and ready to move into. Since then, I have started my own family and created wonderful memories in the most luxurious space. Wheatlands has been the true foundation of all of my accomplishments and aspirations. We're now ready as a family to start a new adventure, while Wheatlands is now ready to help start another's.  Features: - Garage - Balcony - Terrace

About the property   A once in a lifetime opportunity exists to purchase a pair of superbly converted barns that would be ideal for anyone with multi-generational requirements and a love of the countryside, yet only half an hour on the train from the City of London and not far from the M25 and M11. Steeped in history, these fascinating properties provides a unique opportunity to enjoy the delights associated with living within the curtilage of the Copped Hall Estate that had its origins in the reign of Richard I.   You know you are in for a real treat when you enter through the electric gates at the southern end of Epping High Road and drive along the private drive surrounded by parkland and a wide variety of impressive specimen trees before you reach your destination. The drive serves a select group of 22 individual residences on the Copped Hall Estate and leads to an archway, bordered by a large lawn. This opens into a spacious courtyard providing plenty of parking as well as leading to the garages.   Together the two houses provide a vast amount of flexible accommodation and would then allow you to have a ten bedroom house, with multiple living spaces, that would be ideal for larger multi-generational families that would still like to retain some degree of independence.   Outside there is a delightful terrace surrounded by mature trees, shrubs and hedges. This leads to a bridge over a large and charming goldfish pond and onto truly amazing grounds including sweeping lawns, a pathway under a rose arbour and a backdrop of impressive specimen trees and shrub borders and, if combined both gardens would create a truly spectacular outdoor space.   Sellers Insight   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.

In our opinion this detached house is set within a very desirable turning and offers tremendous scope to refurbish and enlarge the accommodation. Potential options that buyers can consider are, extending to the garage side of the property, extending to the rear of the home, incorporating a lower ground floor, the possibility of a loft conversion or even a front extension. Some buyers may even consider the option of replacing the existing property with a new build, all of which would be subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions.   What we particularly like about the house is the rear garden, it provides a sense of privacy, being enclosed by mature shrubs and trees. A heated swimming pool is the answer to cooling off on a hot summer’s day and it provides endless hours of entertainment for the children during the school summer holidays. Whilst for adults there is a spacious raised balcony, the ideal spot to sit and relax with a glass of wine whilst keeping a watch over the children.   Internally the accommodation is well proportioned, there is a spacious entrance hall providing an impressive welcome to the home. The sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room are the key rooms to the ground floor, they are spacious enough for the family to get together for cooking, eating and relaxing, and both rooms have sliding patio doors opening onto the raised balcony.   Adjoining the kitchen is the utility room and a dining room, which again has a patio door opening onto the balcony. There is also a family room, an ideal space for working from home, the children to do their studies or simply it is a space to escape to in order to watch that favourite television programme.   The owners say: We have lived here for 20 years, and it has been a lovely family home but we are downsizing although staying in the same charming area. We love the spacious entrance hall, the large rooms and wonderful views which makes you feel you are surrounded by nature without even having to go outside.   This house has great potential to be extended. You could create a basement, build over the existing garage as well as converting the loft. Additionally, you could also build another garage, subject to the necessary permissions.   There are a number of parks nearby including Fairlop Waters Country Park that caters for water sports enthusiasts, while top class pubs and restaurants include the King William IV pub and the Sheesh Turkish restaurant, housed in the historic Ye Olde Kings Head, believed to be the setting for the Maypole pub in Charles Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge.

About this property   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.   Sellers Insight   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.
