York Hill, Loughton

This part of Loughton is known locally as “Little Cornwall”. Kings Orchard sits opposite Kings Cottage (1785), originally home to George King, a leading quaker of the time. The author Ruth Rendell wrote some of her novels set within Epping Forest. The name Little Cornwall is used in “The Face of Trespass”. The area is characterised by hills, weather boarded cottages, narrow lanes and high holly hedges. The ancient Epping Forest is less than 100 yards from the house and offers hundreds of acres for walking, nature trails and spotting wildlife, including deer and many species of birds.
Kings Orchard enjoys outstanding views across the Thames valley towards London's docklands. Loughton town centre is only a 5 minute walk away and the Central Line (a further 10 minute walk) offers frequent trains to Stratford (the Olympic Park) and Liverpool Street (32 minutes). There are numerous bus services providing links to local destinations. The M25 and M11 are within easy reach and Stanstead airport is some 35 minutes drive away.
The area is well served by hospitals, GP surgeries and dentists and highly regarded state and independent schools, both primary and secondary. Loughton Leisure Centre provides health and fitness facilities as well as a swimming pool. The town offers supermarkets, local traders, cafés and restaurants. There is a great choice of local pubs around and The Gardeners' Arms, within a few minutes' walk up the hill, offers spectacular views towards London and the Kent hills. Residents of the conservation area will testify that it is one of the best areas to live in Loughton.
