5 bedroom barn conversion for sale

DESCRIPTION Anyone who has been lucky enough to enter the gated grounds of the former Copped Hall Estate will know what a special place this location is. The landmark Hall itself stands towards the centre of acres of rolling greenery interspersed by pockets of woodland and a select group of homes - just 22, we understand, served by the 1.5 miles or so length of private driveway that emerges at the southern end of Epping High Street where it bounds Epping Forest. The brick barns of Hall Farm were converted in the 1990s to create a development of just three distinguished homes positioned around the former stable yard. This substantial and spacious house offers versatile 4 (potentially 5)- bedroom accommodation with 3 distinct reception rooms. On the West side of the house is a lovely walled garden estimated to extend to around 1/4 acre and there are far-reaching country views to be enjoyed from various points within the Estate. This really is a home from which to enjoy the four seasons.
