Property Prices in Chigwell

As you might expect from a leafy affluent area with working transport connections to London, prices in Chigwell are on the steep side.

As of April 2019, the average price for property in Chigwell was just shy of £700,000 with property prices creeping up slightly year-on-year.

Chigwell has a real mix of old, new and period properties sitting harmoniously side by side in this part of Essex’s ‘golden triangle’.

The old village centred around St Mary’s Church and the 17th century ‘Ye Olde King’s Head’ pub is home to many of the area’s prized Georgian houses and weatherboard cottages.

In contrast soon after the arrival of what is now the Central Line in 1903, many large detached properties were built, a large proportion of which have since been modernised and extended.

Recently several new developments have been built and offer a range of properties for both first time buyers and families. These developments offer landscaped community areas, cycle paths and play parks for the children.

In terms of properties sold within the last year:

• Flats in Chigwell typically sell for an average of £394,957.
• Terraced homes are slightly cheaper at £394,776.
• Three bed semi-detached family home prices start at around £500,000.
• Five bed and over luxury detached properties on the desirable Stradbroke Drive and Forrest Lane sell for over the £2 million-pound mark.

Local Attractions & Amenities in Chigwell

Chigwell is a vibrant local community that likes to keep fit and active. There is a private members’ par 71 Golf Club and a David Lloyd Leisure, with gym and spa facilities as well as a swimming pool and tennis courts.

Those with young children can take them to the City Pavilion where they can enjoy a 34-lane bowling centre featuring games machines and pool tables. Just a mile away from Chigwell you can also play a round or two of crazy golf at the Moby Adventure Golf Course.

Of course, one of the village’s most enduring attractions is its close proximity to Epping Forest itself.

With walking and cycling paths, small cafes and the opportunity to spot wild deer it’s a great day out for all the family.

For a touch of retail therapy the town has no shortage of vintage boutique shops serving everything from pampering oils to designer dresses.

A more comprehensive shopping experience can be had at Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford which is just 17 minutes away by train and contains an even greater number of high-street brands and restaurants.
