This wonderful timber-clad chalet is situated on the corner of Epping Forest, Essex, in the Baldwin's Hill Conservation Area. The three-bedroom house in Loughton unfolds across 1,582 sq ft and is finished in a pared-back material and colour palette. The original wooden floorboards and barn-style doors sit alongside sensitive modern additions, including wide banks of glazing that overlook the secluded west-facing garden. There is off-street parking for two cars and an electric car charging point.
