The garden is left a month between cuts to aid flowers, local bees and the visiting wildlife, with rabbits, pheasant, fox, deer and many species of birds wandering through occasionally. Growth springs up in different spots throughout the year. Snowdrops early in the year then Bluebells from March, wild garlic helps keep bugs at bay by the back door. The cherry blossom of spring has a scent that captivates. Wild strawberries litter an area outside the lounge window. Even in October, as the sunset lowers out of the back window, flowers pop from the borders to delight. There is lots to discover here throughout the year, including the increasingly rare Fyfield Pea that flowers twice a year. The Location When they talk ‘location’, while this might be on an active B-road, it’s also often a haven with all that you need for a relaxing time away, right on your doorstep. Just a 22 minute drive to Epping Station (Central Line) for London, or the same north for Stansted Airport (a viable option pre-flight), as well as 30 minutes away from Epping Forest and a plethora of golf courses all around. Check out Top Golf, Lee Valley for rafting, Foot- and crazy-golf, many canal or forest walks and so much more just a short drive away. Closer to home, this family-activity-filled home is surrounded by a network of footpaths to explore including the Essex Way. Parking Driveway has ample parking for 5 cars, 6/7 at a squeeze. Just a few houses down from the house is a layby, but this should be avoided please, as ‘private road’ notices have recently been installed. Pets We welcome well-behaved, house-trained owners and their very well behaved pets – but please keep them downstairs and out of bedrooms to aid anyone with mild allergies, thank you. Guest access Guests have full access to the entire home during their stay Other things to note Fairview is on a road that many a ‘transit’ enthusiast loves to drive or ride, so please don’t say we didn’t warn you that you will hear passing traffic and farming machinery. Highlights, however, are that it’s on the run for most UK bike events and, annually, the very-lit, overnight, Dunwich Dynamo. And when it’s quiet, it’s very quiet.
