9 Essex Terrace, Stoke, Nelson, Nelson / Tasman

Mornings here start with the lawn still holding a bit of dew, coffee in hand and the doors open to the garden. Set on a 693m² section with 168m² of floor area, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom Stoke home offers an easy fit for families, or anyone wanting a well-placed Nelson base with room to spread out.

The main living zone is bright and well connected, bringing kitchen, dining and lounge together in a way that keeps daily life moving without feeling crowded. Generous bench space, wall oven cabinetry and a breakfast bar make the kitchen practical as well as social, while a separate lounge with doors and its own heat pump gives you a quieter retreat for movies, reading or evening downtime.

The main bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, giving it a welcome sense of privacy from the rest of the home. Two further bedrooms are light and comfortable, while the additional smaller room works well as a home office, nursery or hobby space. A family bathroom with both bath and separate shower supports the pace of busy mornings, and the laundry is neatly positioned within the internal-access double garage.

Outside, the wraparound lawn is fenced through to the driveway, creating a secure-feeling space for kids and pets to move about. Landscaped planting softens the edges and adds privacy, while the garden is established enough to enjoy without feeling like a weekend-long commitment. It is the kind of setting that suits barbecues, backyard play and quieter afternoons in the sun.

Stoke remains a consistently popular part of Nelson, with Birchwood School, Broadgreen Intermediate and Nayland College all in the suburb, while Saxton Field adds easy access to sport and recreation. Richmond and central Nelson are both a straightforward drive away. To view, get in touch with Chris Dunell today.
