What the Owner says:
In the days long before the Internet, we drove around Chigwell looking for houses that were for sale. We stumbled upon Great Owl Road and soon realised that was where we wanted to live. Some months later our house became available, and we bought it. The location was perfect, a quiet cul-de-sac where the children could play, plenty of space, and almost in the countryside, with a field at the end of the road.

We moved in, and within a year decided that the house wasn't exactly as we wanted it to be. We found the best local Architect and Builder and designed exactly what we wanted. The house was extended, most rooms moved, a galleried landing added, with the integral double garage retained. The complete interior was remodelled to the highest standard, and after a year, perfection was achieved.

Next, we installed the swimming pool and landscaped the garden. The heated pool has been especially enjoyed by our children and grandchildren, creating some lovely memories. Over the years we have updated almost every area in the house, adding air conditioning, expensive lighting and the best technology that was available. Recently we have updated the kitchen/dining room, with top of the range German units and appliances.

We have spent a wonderful 37 years at Great Owl Road and are only moving to be closer to our children and their families. We are sure the next owner will love this house as much.
