Savills Loughton

Savills in Loughton serves the residential markets of the town and surrounding areas such as Woodford, Chigwell, Theydon Bois, Chingford and Epping.

With a population of 30,340 and Epping Forest on its doorstep, Loughton is just under 15 miles north east of the centre of London.

Historically, much of the housing was built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras with significant expansion in the 1930s. The Great Eastern Railway Company would not offer workmen’s fares to and from Loughton, and so, consequently, development was of a relatively affluent nature.

Today, Loughton has a cosmopolitan feel with a new influx of investment from City workers buying in the area. The traditional Victorian and Edwardian properties are exceptionally popular with those families looking for a more suburban lifestyle, and the open space of Epping Forest is a huge attraction.

Located on the Central Line and just over 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street, Loughton offers commuters easy access into the capital. Both Kier Holdings and the Higgins Group PLC have chosen Loughton as the location for their head offices.

Loughton has a good selection of both private and state schools which include the Davenant Foundation School, Chigwell School and Bancroft’s. Both Chigwell School and Bancroft’s are highly respected and attract boarders from around the world.
