Ashbee Lodge is within a short stroll of Chigwell Station with its direct line to Central London; the High Road itself offers a great range of local shops, including everyday essentials such as the Post Office, bakers and pharmacy alongside individual shops and boutiques. Just a few miles away from Ashbee Lodge is the ancient landscape of Epping Forest, with its 6,000 acres of unspoilt countryside.

The initial impression of Ashbee Lodge is that of a traditional, and imposing, private house. Built in the Arts and Crafts style, so prevalent in the area, the development features tall chimneys, pitch tiled and dormer roofs and is surrounded by lush, tree-fringed gardens.
