"Chigwell, My Dear Fellow, Is One Of The Greatest Places In The World."

Banner Homes

According to England’s greatest novelist Charles Dickens in Barnaby Rudge, Chigwell is ‘one of the finest places in the world.’ Steeped in fascinating history, Chigwell effortlessly combines English tradition with 21st century glamour. And for those looking to move to this stunning location, Banner Homes has a very select development of just two elegant and spacious six bedroom family homes in the highly sought after road of Forest Lane
 

Shelley West, Sales Director for Banner Homes Central comments, “Chigwell is widely regarded as the premier village to live in Essex. It combines village chic and country charm with a hint of Essex glamour. When it comes to luxury living, we have ticked all the boxes at Forest Lane in terms of comfort, space and quality, which has resulted in two quite exceptional homes of pure yet understated luxury. With one home already sold, Sessile House is available at £2,750,000. This impressive home is nearly 6,000 square feet and features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms spread over four floors. Privacy is also of paramount importance with its own private gated entrance and security system.”

Banner Homes is well known for its high specification and attention to detail in every home it builds and there is no exception at Forest Lane. Both homes have suited keys, where all the locks in the home are suited to enable one master key to open the front door and all the other external doors, meaning less complication and added security in the home.
 

The final home, Sessile House, is being marketed at £2,750,000 and is available for immediate occupation. It also comes complete with carpets, light fittings and landscaped gardens. The lower ground floor is home to a cinema room for film nights. There is also a recreation room and a steam shower-room and cloakroom.
 

The ground floor features a luxurious kitchen, breakfast family room with composite work surfaces that are heat, stain and scratch resistant, and Miele integrated appliances including two self cleaning ovens, gas hob, microwave oven, coffee machine, two integrated fridge/freezers, a wine cooler and a double dishwasher as well as a triple bowl sink and separate vegetable sink with instant steaming hot and filtered water and a waste disposal unit. For entertainment there is also a pop up television within the work surface and wall mounted television in the family room. There is also a separate sitting room, dining room, study and utility room.
 

The first floor is home to a stunning master bedroom suite with air-conditioning, en-suite bathroom, separate spacious dressing room and a large balcony to enjoy the summer evenings. There are three further bedrooms, all with en-suites.
 

The second floor is perfect for teenage children or a separate area for a live in nanny or au-pair. It features an expansive games room and two further bedrooms both with en-suites. Smart home control wiring is also built into the fabric of the home, allowing you to manage many aspects of your entertainment throughout your home from the touch of a screen.
 

Sessile House is located on the attractive, grass-edged Forest Lane and is less than a mile from Chigwell underground station and the local shopping parade. Charlie Browns roundabout, two miles to the south-west, marks the approach to the M11 and the North Circular. Easy access to the M25 allows speedy routes around the capital.

For schooling, the respected Chigwell Primary School is close by. There are outstanding grammar schools in Woodford and two exceptional co-educational independent schools within easy reach; Bancroft’s, in Woodford Green, provides a preparatory and senior school whilst Chigwell School, founded in 1629, is acknowledged to be one of the finest private schools in the county.
 

In Chigwell, which is home to celebrities including Alan Sugar, you’ll find designer name boutiques, beauty salons and spas alongside the usual convenience stores. The area is renowned for its choice of sports facilities, with a Virgin Active at Repton Park, a Top Golf entertainment complex, a David Lloyd Centre in Buckhurst Hill, local tennis and cricket clubs as well as the challenging 18-hole course at nearby Chigwell Golf Club.

The show home is open Thursday through to Monday from 10am to 5pm. For further information please call 020 8504 8318 or Savills on 020 8498 6600 or visit the website at www.forest-lane.co.uk 
 

The Banner ‘Happy Homes’ survey reveals that to be perfectly happy with their home the average Brit likes a corner shop less within a mile of them. The research also found being two miles from a supermarket, feeling part of the local community and having the countryside no more than five miles away was important to people’s happiness overall. The study of 2,000 people across the UK was commissioned by Banner Homes, to take a closer look at British culture and what makes us happy about our homes.
