Clays Lane, Loughton

An Exceptional 5,700 sq ft Regency Home with 2820 sq ft Detached Lodge and Extensive Grounds.

Set behind secure wooden gates and nestled just 1.7 miles from Loughton Station, Goldings and Goldings Lodge offer a rare opportunity to own a private, estate-like residence combining historical elegance with contemporary luxury.

Collectively, the main house, detached lodge, garage, and gym offer over 9,400 sq ft of versatile living and ancillary space, all set within beautifully landscaped gardens.

Dating back to around 1800, the main house is a Regency gem that has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully updated to an exceptional standard by its current owners. Showcasing classic period features-soaring ceilings, tall sash windows, and intricate detailing-Goldings radiates timeless elegance while seamlessly incorporating modern luxuries such as underfloor heating, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a comprehensive CCTV security system.

A grand reception hall welcomes you inside, setting the tone for the generous proportions that follow. The ground floor features three elegant reception rooms, each offering a distinct ambiance. The stunning orangery, bathed in natural light, provides a show-stopping space ideal for entertaining.

At the heart of the home lies a striking open-plan kitchen, breakfast, and family area designed with modern living in mind. Outfitted with premium cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances, the kitchen centres around a large island with breakfast bar. A double-sided fireplace warms both the kitchen and adjoining family room, which opens onto the garden through twin sets of French doors. A well-equipped utility room and a guest cloakroom complete the ground floor. From the hallway, stairs lead down to a large cellar with impressive headroom-ideal for wine storage or further development.

Upstairs, the principal suite features a private dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom.

Three additional bedrooms and two family bathrooms occupy the first floor, while the second floor houses a fifth bedroom and extensive eaves storage.

Adjacent to the main house, Goldings Lodge presents a substantial and self-contained living space across two sections-perfect for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or even home business use. One side includes a reception room, kitchen area, bedroom, and en-suite shower room. The central portion offers its own entrance, a kitchen/dining room, living room, guest cloakroom, and staircase to two further bedrooms, a dressing room, and a shower room above.
The property is approached via cobbled driveway with ample parking, leading to an extensive outbuilding that comprises a triple carport, garage, gym, and cloakroom. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and planting, while a south-facing Yorkstone terrace provides the perfect outdoor entertaining area with views over the serene gardens.

This is a rare blend of architectural heritage and modern design-an exceptional home offering flexibility, space, and privacy in a highly sought-after location.
