Carpenters Yard, Thornwood

IF YOU LIVED HERE...
Chicory is an intentionally designed home that brings together thoughtful design and ease of everyday living. Natural materials and clean lines give the house a calm presence, while generous glazing brings a steady flow of light through the interiors. The layout feels intuitive, with spaces that connect easily to one another and open naturally onto the garden.
Inside, rooms are arranged with flexibility in mind, offering places to gather as well as moments of quiet. The kitchen and living areas are shaped for modern routines, whether that is shared meals, working from home or unhurried evenings indoors. Upstairs, the bedrooms feel settled and well proportioned, designed to be lived in rather than styled.
The garden extends the living space outdoors, with planting that encourages privacy and seasonal change. Built with long-term sustainability at its heart, the home benefits from energy-efficient design and low-maintenance materials that support comfortable, responsible living.
Chicory sits within Carpenters Yard, a neighbourhood shaped around shared green spaces, pedestrian streets and a slower pace of life. Woodland walks, a local café and grocery space, allotments and play areas are all close at hand, with direct access to Thornwood Common and the wider landscapes of Epping Forest. Connections into Thornwood and beyond are easy, making this a home that feels both grounded and well connected.
What else?
You’ll benefit from pedestrian-friendly streets, a dedicated play street and easy access to woodland walks and Thornwood Common.
Everyday life is made easier with a local café and grocery store, a resident parcel room and a reuse and DIY centre on site.
A new bus stop within the neighbourhood, alongside landscaped green spaces and a central pond, keeps things well connected yet peaceful.
