We've enjoyed cycling and walking in Epping forest which is on the doorstep. It has a wonderful high street with a great choice of independent food shops, restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, bars and the village green, which over the yrs has hosted many community events . We've also watched many beautiful sunsets from our SW facing balcony. We will really miss living here. However, it's time for us move on." IF YOU LIVED HERE...
