Hoe Lane, Abridge

DESCRIPTION
Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN, Graywood is an impressive, detached house believed to date from the 1930s, situated in a prime location on Hoe Lane, one of the area's most highly sought-after addresses. The property is located beyond the edge of the village in a substantial garden site of nearly 3/4 of an acre, boasting fantastic far-reaching views across its superb garden and surrounding countryside, with distant views to the City on a bright day to Canary Wharf and beyond.
The house extends to over 2400 sq.ft. and features numerous impressive rooms, including, an oak-panelled reception hall and sitting room. Extended by previous owners to provide 4-bedroom accommodation, Graywood has been under the same ownership for almost 50 years and offers an incredibly rare opportunity for modernisation and potential reconfiguration or extension to create a superb home for the buyer's personal preferences.
 

The property occupies the front portion of its large rectangular site, which measures approximately 25 m (84 ft) in width, 124 m (406 ft) in depth, and 0.72 acres in total.
Hoe Lane extends southeast of the village and is within a short drive of Loughton, Epping, Chigwell (all on the Central Line), and Romford, as well as access to the M25 and M11.
