As you pull up outside, the first thing that strikes you it's its impressive 'kerb appeal'. It looks large (it is large), It looks lovely (it is lovely)!
There is off street parking for several cars which is a massive positive. There is also an integrated garage.
This amazing property has two front entrances. One to the left of the property which (originally an external entrance) is now covered and runs almost the entire depth of the property. There is access to the main house via a door that leads into the utility room. There is also a door at the other end that leads into to fabulous rear garden. Therefore, this is absolutely ideal when returning home from walks etc. As this means no muddy boots or dogs can cause havoc!
The other front entrance is to the right side of the property and leads into a smaller entrance hall with access to the lounge, the dining & kitchen areas as well as the stairs.
The flooring in the entrance hall is high grade laminate flooring and the same lovely flooring is found in the lounge which can only be described as massive! Actually, it can also be described as superb, fabulous, wonderful and many other adjectives. This lounge takes some beating! I'm not sure I have ever seen a bigger one in a Harlow property. It easily houses two three piece suites, the 70" wall mounted TV doesn't even look big, and whilst the current owners have it looking absolutely splendid, I just know that a space this large has a multitude of interior design possibilities. There are large double Georgian style doors that give amazing views over the large rear garden.
Often, indeed almost always when describing a property, the garden gets left to last. However, I fell it only fair that it should be embraced while describing the lounge area as it is just as fabulous!
The current owners have obviously put a lot of time and effort into the garden and it shows!
On two levels, the large decked area is just a dream area for al fresco dining and family BBQ's. Once again, there is a plethora of garden furniture on the decked area but there is still oodles of open space. Simply superb!
The middle section is laid mainly to lawn and there are several established trees and shrubs. Keen gardeners could turn this part of the garden into so many different landscaped variations! At the bottom of the garden, the current owners have turned it into a children's play area with swings, slides, trampolines etc. It is a small child's Shangri La! For others of course, this area would also make a fabulous vegetable patch. The options really are endless. I nearly forgot to mention that there is a good size brick built shed for all the relevant gardening tools etc.
Back inside the property, we have a large dining area. Currently it houses a very large 6 seater dining table and chairs and there is ample room to move around. It (along with the kitchen area) has lovely laminate flooring. There is a large window overlooking the front of the property and it benefits from a bespoke blind.
The kitchen area is also (as you would expect), spacious! Fully fitted and with more then enough cupboard, drawer and worktop space to satisfy anyone, this smashing kitchen also has a 'funky' diamond shape sink & drainer which has a large window that also overlooks the front of the property. As you will see from the floor plan, the dining & kitchen areas are open plan, as is the access to the utility area. As utility rooms go, this is larger than average and has the usual washing machine and cupboard space as well as work tops space. There is also another fridge freezer in situ. Here you will find the downstairs cloakroom which contains a WC & hand basin. This, along with the utility area has been decorated to a high standard and has lovely tiled flooring.
Upstairs we find the 4 bedrooms and the family bathroom and separate WC.
We have 4 double bedrooms (3 large doubles & 1 small double).
Bedroom 1 has a double aspect window with lovely views of the rear garden. There are fitted wardrobes as well.
Bedroom 2 is another large double with lovely views of the rear garden.
Bedroom 3 whilst the smallest, is still classed as a double although it would make a good size single bedroom.
Bedroom 4 is another good size double with views to the front of the property. This room benefits from a super large 'eaves storage' cupboard.
The family bathroom has a bathtub, a walk in shower, WC & wash basin. There is a large mirrored bathroom cabinet as well. The floor and walls are fully tiled.
So, to summarise, what we have here is a super large extended, reconfigured 4 bedroom detached property that is close to all amenities. As I said before, these rarely come to market and to be honest, it's east to see why!
It's a cracking property and Harlow is a lovely place to live. Here's why:
