The Uplands, Loughton £2,000,000

This exceptional five-bedroom, five-bathroom detached family home is set on one of Loughton’s most desirable roads. A Victorian residence of over 3,750 sq. ft., it has been thoughtfully styled throughout to combine period charm with modern family living. Generous proportions, light-filled rooms, and carefully designed spaces make it an outstanding home for both relaxation and entertaining.

The ground floor is introduced by a grand entrance hall, which leads into two reception rooms - one currently arranged as a gym and the other as a formal living room with Victorian fire surround and wood burning stove. At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining space, designed for both family life and entertaining.

This area flows beautifully through to a third living room, where striking bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The downstairs office can be accessed from the hallway or kitchen/diner through stylish ‘ Crittall’ doors that not only act as an architectural feature but also allow light to pass through, keeping the rooms naturally bright. A cloakroom and separate utility room complete the ground floor. The ‘bespoke’ designed kitchen and utility room is equipped with all the usual modern appliances.

A possible further addition is the fact that there is planning permission granted (application no EPF/1241/24 that expires in July 2027) for a single story rear extension to square of the back of the house that would make the kitchen/dining/living area even more expansive.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a luxurious retreat with its own en suite ( refurbished in December 2024) and walk-in wardrobe, while the spacious second bedroom also benefits from an en suite (also refurbished in December 2024) and fitted wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, and a beautifully finished family bathroom completes this level. All bedrooms still retain their Victorian charm with original fireplaces. The top floor offers another generously sized bedroom with its own en suite and views across the rear aspect.

The garden has been beautifully landscaped by the current owners, designed to be both low maintenance and full of charm. Two distinct seating areas have been created: one at the top of the garden with a fire pit, and another at the bottom, perfect for enjoying the morning or evening sun. With a lawn and well-kept borders, the garden offers an ideal blend of practicality and style.

Additional benefits include a large driveway with parking for up to three/four cars, a spacious garage with an electric charging point, and ample storage.
Perfectly positioned, this home is within easy reach of Loughton High Road with its array of boutiques, restaurants, and cafés, as well as Epping Forest and Loughton Central Line Station for swift access into London. Highly regarded schools, both state and independent, including Oaklands and Staples Road Primary, are also close by.
