Hoe Lane, Nazeing EN9

Welcome to Presdale Farmhouse, a charming and characterful residence nestled in the heart of the countryside.

Built in the 1930s, this family home boasts four generous bedrooms and expansive open-plan living areas, all set within a substantial plot. Presdale Farmhouse has lovingly sheltered the same family for over three decades, providing the perfect backdrop for children?s laughter echoing through the gardens and joyful celebrations around the sun-dappled pool. Now, as the current owners look to downsize and move closer to their grandchildren, a new family can write their own chapter in this magical setting.

Arrive via the sweeping in-and-out driveway, designed for effortless access and exit, and park with ease in front of the double garage.

Come on in

Step through the front door into a bright and welcoming entrance hallway, where a staircase ascends to the first floor. Ornate cornicing on the ceiling pays homage to the property?s period charm.

From the hallway, enter the expansive reception area where two generously sized rooms are seamlessly connected, fostering an airy sense of space and flow, ideal for entertaining. The first room features a front bay window and sliding doors at the rear, bathing the space in natural light and offering uninterrupted views and access to the lush gardens.

The second reception room also has a window to the front and rear, as well as a wall-mounted gas fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings.

The Heart Of The Home

Positioned at the rear of the property, overlooking the gardens, is the family kitchen. A place to gather and chat over meals, with real character in the form of quarry tiled floor and beamed ceiling. There is a breakfasting area, separated from the rest of the kitchen by an archway. Wooden units are fitted, providing lots of storage and work surfaces. There is a Belling double oven, space for an American-style fridge freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher.

There is also a utility room with fitted units and plumbing for a washing machine, leading to a useful downstairs WC and an additional storage area with access to the garden.

Time for bed

At the end of the day, climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is spacious, with fitted wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom. There is a bath and a separate shower, a washbasin and a WC.

There are three further bedrooms and a modern, fully tiled family bathroom. A claw-foot free-standing bath awaits, ready for a relaxing soak after a long day. There is also a WC, a washbasin and a heated towel rail.

Gardens

Around the front of the property and driveway, established trees and shrubs provide added privacy.

A paved terrace at the rear of the property is the perfect sunny spot to enjoy an alfresco meal or BBQ with family and friends. The pool offers fantastic fun for the kids and adults alike. Some repairs are required to the liner and heating pump. The level lawn stretches out and is ideal for football or lawn games.

?We?ve had so many parties here with all of our friends and family - football games, swimming in the pool, food and drinks - it?s been a lot of fun living here.?

The garden is in the sun almost all day, with the sunset around the pool, it is the perfect place to enjoy a crisp drink and a cool dip.

Potential

The property comes with full planning permission to build above the garage and kitchen, creating a large principal suite or two smaller bedrooms. This would also create the opportunity to develop and redesign the kitchen area.

In addition, there is permitted development to add a garden room.
