If shopping’s your thing, you can browse Chigwell’s boutiques and bakeries or hop on the tube to explore Bond Street’s designer shops in just 40 minutes.

Enjoy country walks among the ancient trees of Epping Forest, which is just four miles away, or experience green spaces closer at hand at Chigwell Golf Course, which is within a 10-minute walk.

There are also a number of well-regarded schools and nurseries in the area, most notably Chigwell School, one of the UK’s leading independent schools.

It’s hard to think of a better location than Chigwell when it comes to transport links.

Located directly opposite Chigwell Underground Station, Novella gives you direct access to central London via the Central Line.

If you’re commuting into the City, you can be there in half an hour by tube. And if you’re travelling by car, both the M11 and M25 are easily accessible.
