Country cottage living with a hint of contemporary design.

Built-in 1880,94 Hemnall Street is an inviting cottage that looks as if it is straight out of a fairytale.

The wrought iron fence encloses the front cottage garden. Gently push the gate open and make your way along the paved footpath, through the roses and foxgloves, to the front door.

You're welcomed by the original quarry tiled flooring in the hallway and original wooden latched doors that open up to reveal the ground floor rooms.

The dining room, perfect for family Sunday roasts or the all-important Christmas dinner, has oak parquet flooring and an impressive cast iron fireplace with green Victorian tiles and a window overlooking that lovely front garden. Open the windows and allow the summer breeze to fill the room with the scent of roses.

On to the kitchen, which has shaker style units that line both walls in a chic cream and sage green matte finish, in keeping with the country style. But, modern creature comforts have been added, including the all-important wine chiller fridge. Double doors open onto the patio area for those blissful morning moments of peace with a cup of coffee.

The real gem of the home is the living room. Oak parquet flooring covers the floor and draws your eye into the room, which is flooded with natural light from the roof lantern and bi-fold doors. Hosting garden parties has never been easier when guests can mingle between the garden and this extraordinary living room.

Allow the outside in on warm summer days, but light the open fire and hunker down in front of the TV when the weather turns.

As the day ends and it's time to retire to bed, heading up the stairs, you are given a further sense of the real character of this home.

Wooden latch doors give access to each of the 3 double bedrooms. Bedrooms 1 and 3 each have unique fireplaces, attractive features that keep that country cottage feel alive.

The bathroom has the most remarkable dusky pink claw foot bath to enjoy a long, well deserved soak with a good book and perhaps even a glass of wine.

The garden is a well-kept lawn with borders and flowerbeds with vibrant pops of colour to bring a smile to your face. A patio provides a seating area for those long summer days where you dine alfresco or enjoy a family BBQ. Roast marshmallows on a fire pit late into the evening as the sun goes down. Many a garden party has taken place here over the years.

The former garage has undergone a considerable transformation. There are still garage doors that give access to the all-important storage space for tools and lawnmowers. But, from the garden, the garage is unrecognisable.

The work from home, garden office of your dreams.

With a spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine floor, there is more than enough space for two to work away all day. There is a loo, and lots of room for desks, filing cabinets and workspace. The palette of materials echos the cottage itself but with a fascinating triangular window added to fill the studio with natural light. If you don't need to work from home, this would make an ideal hobby room or perhaps an art studio. The options here are endless.

94 Hemnall Street has been owned by our clients since 1989. In fact, this home has only been sold once in over 50 years!

Until now.

And it is with a very heavy heart.

Our client says, "We brought our family up in this property. We have so many wonderful memories over the years, and we genuinely didn't think we would ever let this property go."

But circumstances have changed, and the time has come for our clients to move on. So, for only the second time in over 50 years, 94 Hemnell Street is available for the next lucky owners to make their own memories here.

The location couldn't be better. Just a short walk away from public footpaths for walks on Bell Common and Epping Forest. Perfect for those long walks in the autumn as the weather turns, followed by a wonderful pub lunch in one of the many fabulous restaurants nearby.
