Description
The approach to The Wood House is impressive to say the least. As you arrive, the driveway meanders gracefully through impeccably manicured lawns that gently slope down toward a serene boating lake, beautifully framed by graceful willow trees. This enchanting scene sets the stage for The Wood House itself—a remarkable Jacobean-style estate that masterfully blends timeless historic charm with modern luxury.
Its exterior, adorned with intricate pargetting and striking leaded bay windows framed in rich oak, immediately commands attention. Step inside, and you’ll find a series of grand reception rooms each offering captivating views of the grounds through deep bay windows. The drawing room stands out with its lavish oak panelling, an awe-inspiring plasterwork ceiling, and a magnificent stone fireplace crowned by a carved oak over-mantel believed to hail from the historic Copped Hall.
Adjacent is the family room, with its period features and grand fireplace. The leaded windows here are adorned with Kempe’s stained glass roundels. The Clive Christian kitchen and breakfast room are fitted with modern conveniences like air conditioning, extending into several luxurious bedrooms.
On the lower ground floor, a fitted bar provides the perfect space for relaxed social gatherings. The first floor is dedicated to six exquisite double bedrooms, each with its own luxurious en suite. The master suite, however, is the crown jewel, with its roll top bath, rain shower, and bespoke Clive Christian “His and Hers” vanity units, all leading to a lavish dressing room complete with fitted wardrobes and a marble-topped island. It features dual bay windows overlooking the gardens and pool area.
The allure of The Wood House extends to its breathtaking grounds. The central terrace is a perfect setting for al fresco dining, while the east reveals Lime Walk, a tree-lined avenue leading to a grand rotunda. To the west, a heated pool, all-weather tennis court, and full-sized football pitch offer endless opportunities for recreation. The grounds are punctuated by mature trees, serene terraces, and the enchanting boating lake with its own jetty, creating an idyllic private sanctuary.
Location
The estate is set in an idyllic location at the end of a private lane conveniently placed for the local amenities yet discreetly positioned for privacy and security. It is situated on the fringes of the 2,400 hectare Epping Forest, two thirds of which has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation.
