Coopersale Street

Coopersale Street is a small, dispersed, linear settlement which lies one mile south-east of Epping at the bottom of Stonards and Houblons Hills. The oldest building in the area is Coopersale Lodge, a timber-framed "hall house" with two crosswings which dates from the mid 15th century. Other listed buildings include: "Yeomans" (16th century - formerly a terrace of four cottages); No.26 Coopersale Street and adjoining barn (16th century);the Theydon Oak Inn (18th century); and South Lodge at the entrance to Gaynes Park (16th/17th century cottage).

Most of the buildings in the Conservation Area are set within large gardens, often containing significant groups of trees and hedgerows that help to define the property boundaries. The almost haphazard arrangement of buildings emphasises the dispersed nature of the settlement and the spaces between the buildings are important in maintaining this character.
