Description
Once part of a vast estate the magnificent Grade II Listed Claybury Hall dates back 1775 and is a wonderful example of Georgian architecture with its well-proportioned Palladian style exterior, high chimney stacks and multi-pane sash windows. It now takes centre stage in a prestigious gated community of period and newer properties with a 24 hour concierge and nestling within 145 acres of mature parkland that extends onto another 145 acres into Claybury Woods and accessed via security gates that open onto landscaped communal grounds. About 20 years ago Claybury Hall was beautifully refurbished to the highest level while still retaining many original and period features including high coved ceilings, fireplaces, panelled doors and high coved skirting boards. It was divided into four extremely large and stylish apartments including this elegant apartment on the first and second floors with stunning panoramic views across to the City of London skyline. It also has a garage and two allocated parking spaces.When you open the main front door you are greeted by the breath-taking communal entrance hall with its atrium inspired skylight and stunning sweeping staircase that rises to the wonderful galleried landing on the first floor. Here you will find the door to the split-level apartment that opens into a spacious hall with stairs to the second floor. There is a large and well-equipped kitchen and breakfast area providing delightful views and contemporary Shaker style units with granite worktops housing Miele appliances including a gas hob, double oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer with additional storage units creating a divide between the kitchen and breakfast area.
On the second floor double doors from the landing open into the impressive lounge/diner that is the ‘star of the show' in this very special apartment. With its ornate fireplace, coved ceiling and skirting boards, inset lighting and three sets of French doors to the half-moon shaped balcony, this elegant room is ideal for entertaining and provides superb and uninterrupted views across the surrounding woodland to London. This floor also includes a very impressive bedroom that is very well-proportioned with a dressing room with bespoke fitted cupboards, a stunning en-suite bathroom with a raised bath, separate shower and twin vanity basins and an additional ‘Jack and Jill' dressing room with alternative access from the landing.
What the Owner says:
We have lived in this beautiful apartment since it was created some 20 years ago and have always loved being here. We enjoy the peace and quiet, the wonderful views and the ambience. There are great places to go for walks in Repton and Claybury parks as well as the 6000 acres of Epping Forest where you can also cycle and horse ride, while the local wildlife is a joy to watch. Although we are surrounded by countryside, Chigwell underground station on the Central line is only a short drive away enabling commuters to be at Liverpool Street in approximately 26 minutes or Woodford station which is slightly further away but will take you into Liverpool Street in approximately 20 minutes.
Chigwell has a variety of restaurants, bars, independent shops and sports facilities such as Chigwell Golf Club and David Lloyd Leisure and we are also not far from the M11 for access to the M25, Stansted and Cambridge. Nearby Woodford Green includes a church, village green, duck pond and historic pubs giving it a village atmosphere. It is also famed for having the oldest cricket club in the world that still plays on its original ground as well as having a statue of Winston Churchill who was the local MP. For sporting enthusiasts there is cricket, tennis, bowls, football and rugby at the local clubs. Education is available at Outstanding primary and independent schools including the excellent Bancrofts and Loyola Prep Schools, while Woodbridge High School is also rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
