East London & Essex
Join the waiting list
Epping and Theydon Bois are where East London meets the Essex countryside: village houses on Coppice Row and Piercing Hill, larger homes around Coopersale, and country houses and converted barns on the lanes beyond. We design and build all of them under one contract.
The houses
Period village houses, substantial interwar and post-war detached houses on large plots, and farmhouses and agricultural buildings converted to homes. Many owners want pool houses, gyms, garaging and staff or guest accommodation alongside the main house.
Planning in Essex
Epping Forest District Council determines applications, and almost everything outside the village envelopes is Metropolitan Green Belt. Extensions and outbuildings are judged on proportionality, replacement houses on size, and listed farmhouses and barns need listed building consent. Theydon Bois and Epping have conservation areas at their centres.
What it means for you
On a country plot, outbuildings and leisure buildings often matter as much as the house. We test the green belt position for the whole scheme, not just the extension.
