East London & Essex
Join the waiting list
Loughton and Buckhurst Hill run along the edge of Epping Forest, with some of Essex’s best Victorian and Edwardian houses and large detached homes on the hills. We work on Baldwins Hill, York Hill and Staples Road in Loughton, and on Palmerston Road, Queens Road and the Forest-edge roads of Buckhurst Hill.
The houses
Arts and crafts and Victorian houses on the Loughton hills, many with Forest views; substantial Edwardian and interwar detached houses in Buckhurst Hill. Many are on steep plots, which makes lower-ground and basement floors a natural addition.
Planning in Essex
Epping Forest District Council determines applications. Several Loughton roads are conservation areas, including Baldwins Hill, York Hill and Staples Road. Houses on the Forest edge may be in the green belt, and works next to Forest land can need input from the City of London’s Epping Forest team.
What it means for you
On a sloping Forest-edge plot, a basement or lower-ground floor is often the best way to add space without conflicting with the green belt or the street.
