Manor Road, Chigwell, Essex, IG7

There are homes that become available every year, and then there are estates that only come to market once in a generation.

Madison Fox is exceptionally proud to present Oakview, one of the most important residential opportunities ever offered on Manor Road, widely regarded as Chigwell's most prestigious address. Occupying an extraordinary 1.54 acre triple plot, believed to be the largest private plot along the road, this magnificent Georgian residence extends to almost 9,000 sq ft including its substantial outbuildings and presents a truly once in a lifetime opportunity.

Whether sympathetically restored to its former grandeur, thoughtfully modernised into an exceptional family home, or transformed into one of the most spectacular private residences in Essex, subject to the necessary planning permissions, Oakview offers unlimited potential for the discerning purchaser.

Approached via a sweeping gated carriage driveway, the home immediately impresses with its elegant Georgian architecture, commanding symmetry and timeless character. Set well back from the road and surrounded by mature trees and beautifully landscaped grounds, the property enjoys complete privacy and an unrivalled sense of exclusivity.

Stepping through the entrance porch, you are welcomed by a practical boot room and guest cloakroom before arriving into a breathtaking reception hall, undoubtedly one of the home's defining features. A magnificent galleried entrance with twin sweeping staircases immediately sets the tone, creating a sense of grandeur rarely found in modern homes.

The ground floor has been designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday family life. The principal lounge and dining room extends to over 46 feet in length, creating a remarkable entertaining space with wonderful proportions and an abundance of natural light. A beautifully appointed formal dining room offers the perfect setting for larger gatherings, whilst two additional sitting rooms provide flexible family living, reading rooms or informal reception areas.

The generous kitchen and breakfast room forms the heart of the home, perfectly positioned to serve both the formal and informal living accommodation. Complementing this is a separate utility room, together with a bespoke fitted study providing an ideal home office for those working remotely.

The first floor continues to impress with a spectacular galleried landing overlooking the entrance hall below. The principal bedroom suite is exceptional, measuring over 20 feet by 20 feet, complete with an impressive dressing room, luxurious four piece en suite bathroom and direct access onto a private balcony overlooking the magnificent grounds.

Three further double bedrooms enjoy the luxury of their own en suite bathrooms, whilst two additional bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed Jack and Jill bathroom. Many of the bedrooms benefit from private balconies or terraces, allowing uninterrupted views across the mature gardens and surrounding landscape.

The second floor provides a wonderful level of versatility and independence. Currently arranged as a self contained living area with its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and reception space, it offers ideal accommodation for extended family, guests or live in staff. Completing this floor is an impressive 34 foot games room, together with extensive storage rooms, eaves storage and additional terrace space.

The estate is further enhanced by two substantial detached outbuildings. The first is a fully self contained two storey annexe comprising spacious open plan living accommodation, kitchen facilities, shower room and first floor living space, making it ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or independent office use. The second incorporates a generous double garage alongside a substantial storage building, providing exceptional practicality.

Occupying approximately 1.54 acres, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the residence itself. Beautifully maintained lawns, mature specimen trees and established planting create a wonderfully private setting, whilst the expansive carriage driveway provides extensive parking for numerous vehicles.

Measuring approximately 225 feet wide by 300 feet deep, the exceptional proportions of the plot are almost impossible to replicate today. The size and layout present an exciting opportunity for future redevelopment, extension or enhancement, subject to the relevant planning consents. Given the scale of the land, prospective purchasers may also wish to explore the possibility of dividing the site into multiple plots, with the existing dimensions comfortably lending themselves to such potential.

Properties of this calibre are defined not only by their architecture, but by their location. Manor Road is universally recognised as one of Essex's most exclusive residential addresses, home to some of the county's finest private estates. Residents enjoy immediate access to a superb collection of independent boutiques, award winning restaurants, stylish cafés and premium leisure facilities, whilst excellent state and private schools are all within easy reach, including Chigwell School.

For commuters, both Chigwell and Grange Hill Central Line stations provide direct access into the City, Canary Wharf and London's West End, whilst the M11, M25 and A406 are all conveniently accessible, making travel throughout London and the Home Counties effortless.

Oakview is far more than a substantial family home. It is one of the last remaining landmark estates on Manor Road, offering a level of scale, privacy and future potential that is virtually impossible to recreate. For the right purchaser, this represents the opportunity to create what could quite simply become one of Chigwell's most iconic private residences.
