About this property

Contented Cottage

Charming, modern (recently refurbished), clean and fresh, two bedroom single storey cottage built circa 1840 situated on the edge of Epping Forest, and next door to a secure Children's Playground. Less then a minute's walk in the other direction takes you to Queens Road which has the quaint village feel with an array of cafes, restaurants and boutiques along with Waitrose and Costa Coffee. Buckhurst Hill Station (Central Line Zone 5) is under a 2 min walk away and will have you in Central London in 20 minutes.
The modern kitchen with granite surfaces is extremely well equipped with everything you should need along with an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also a washing machine and microwave for use. There are many kitchen staples provided, tea/coffee (Dulce Gusto coffee machine with coffee pods) tea's, sugar, salt, pepper, cooking oils, etc.
The living room has a smart tv with Netflix set up for your use.
Master bedroom has beautiful French doors which lead you into the south facing ivy clad courtyard which is a delight in the summer.
The second bedroom has bunk beds and a dedicated work space area.
Family bathroom contains a bath and a separate shower to enjoy. Towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner provided.
Parking outside the property is residents only so there is always plenty of space and a visitors parking permit will be provided for your stay should you require one.

Beautiful Cottage
Just had a few days here so we could get into London easily. We recieved excellent instructions to gain entry, which perfectly explained everything. The property itself was clean and fresh and could not be more welcoming. The location is amazing, just a short walk from the tube station, and had parking right outside the front door. Overall we loved the property and would have been happy living there a lot longer than the days we booked! If we could give more than 5 stars we would. The hosts are not only a credit to the property but to the whole short term letting system. 100% will stay here again

A well appointed and located cottage.
The cottage is in an excellant location, well equipped and very well maintained. Kirsty's weclcome was warm and generous - nothing was too much trouble. It is ideally located with easy access to central London or walks in the forest. The proximity of shops is a bonus.

Welcoming & Adorable Little Cottage
Three of us recently stayed at this adorable little cottage in Buckhurst Hill. The home was clean, well equipped with amenities, it smelled amazing, and we couldn't ask for anything more. Buckhurst Hill is outside the city of London but a very easy trip on the tube to get into central London. The tube station is a short walk from the cottage. There is a park behind the cottage and a great restaurant/bar literally feet from your doorstep. There is also a market for groceries very close by. After a long flight from New York to London, Kirsty the owner, kept in great contact with us to arrange our arrival. She is a lovely woman and I hope we remain in touch. London was a stop on this trip as part of my 40th birthday and Kirsty went over the top to remember that bit of information only given to her at the beginning of our communication. Definitely the best host I've had the pleasure of meeting this far. If you are looking to visit London but want to get away from the hustle & bustle I highly recommend this home. If we ever come back to the UK, I would stay here again no question.
