The Property

Keepers Cottage as the name suggests was formerly a Gamekeepers Cottage on the Suttons Estate and sold away at Auction some 35 years ago. The original property was believed to have been built in the late 18th or early 19th Century of salmon brick beneath a tiled roof with decorative barge boards to the eaves and the modern extension is constructed of block and brickwork with part weatherboarded elevations stained black in the traditional Essex fashion under a second tiled roof. A range of outbuildings have been constructed on the property providing laundry room and home office space, garaging and stabling (requiring renovation). The house itself stands within lawned and stocked gardens, whilst to the south-east is a belt of woodland and a pond and to the south an expanse of greensward suitable for potential paddock, enjoying separate access off Berwick Lane.

The house is Listed Grade II as being of Architectural & Historical interest.

Location

Keepers Cottage is situated in a stunning rural yet convenient location in the beautiful stretch of countryside in the heart of south-west Essex, a short distance to the west of Stanford Rivers, to the south of Toot Hill and to the east of Theydon Mount and some 4 miles from Ongar. The unspoilt rural surroundings, woods and undulating farmland belie the property's proximity to the terminus of the London Underground Central Line Service at Epping and the M11 and M25 motorways at Harlow and Brook Street, Brentwood respectively, Canary Wharf and The City. Stanford Rivers has a Church and the nearby village of Toot Hill a public house. Day-to-day shopping facilities can be found in Ongar where there is a variety of shops on the High Street and a small supermarket. More extensive shopping facilities are to be found in Epping and Brentwood. There is a choice of schools of the public and private sector in the locality notably Coopersale Hall Prep School, Chigwell School, Bancrofts and The Forest.
