Ongar

A well presented detached 17^TH Century residence located in the heart of the highly sought after thriving town of Ongar

What we think at the Zoe Napier Group

This really is an exciting opportunity for an incoming buyer live in a beautifully restored home that is bursting with charm and character. Being located within the heart of this highly sought after, characterful, bustling town offers the convenience of having an impressive array of amenities, restaurants, super markets and schooling on your door step, whilst having Epping’s underground railway station within a 15 minute drive will appeal to discerning commuters.

What the owner says

I lived in the property myself for many years and I can tell you from my own experience that it offers a wonderful lifestyle for someone that is attracted to the hustle and bustle of town living. I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase another property on the Essex coastline some years ago, so made the decision to rent the property out and whilst my last tenants lived here happily for many years, they recently decided to move out, so I have decided that the time has come to part company with this gorgeous home.

History & Background

This stunning Grade II Listed 17^th Century home stands on secluded Southernly facing grounds and is believed to have originally been three separate cottages that have subsequently been amalgamated into one sizeable family residence that is bursting with an abundance of charm and character, including a plethora of exposed timbers and characterful period fireplaces. On the ground floor the versatile accommodation offers two/three excellent size living areas with large, well-proportioned dual aspect, bright rooms, complimented by a traditional kitchen/ breakfast room which boasts splendid views over the rear garden. On the first floor there are three spacious double bedrooms, all serviced by a roomy family bathroom.

Externally the grounds are remarkably secluded for a property that resides in the heart of the town centre, being South Facing they offer the opportunity to bathe in the sun all day and a wonderful space for entertaining during the Summer months. The icing on the cake being the rear driveway with off street parking for two vehicles and accompanying single detached garage.

Setting & Location

The property is located in the heart of the town centre, on the High Street within easy walking distance of an array of amenities, including supermarkets, public houses, individual boutiques, fabulous eateries with some of our favourites being The Kings Head, Porterhouse and not forgetting the revered Smiths of Ongar.
