Description

This substantial four double bedroom property, offered chain free, presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to invest and renovate. Nestled alongside the natural beauty of Harlow Common and conveniently located near the M11, this unique residence is just waiting for your personal touch. Built in the 1980s and cherished by a single owner, it exudes a sense of warmth while still offering ample potential for modernization and improvement. The home features an impressive façade with a spacious driveway and a desirable double garage, adding to its kerb appeal. The ground floor boasts a diverse range of rooms that currently serve various functions but could be reconfigured (subject to planning) to better suit contemporary family living needs. You'll find multiple reception areas alongside a functional kitchen, utility room, and WC. A notably large entertaining space and additional utility/WC could also be transformed into guest accommodation or an annexe (subject to planning). Upstairs hosts four generous bedrooms, including a primary bedroom complete with an ensuite shower room, along with a family bathroom to serve the rest of the household. The outdoor space offers tranquility and privacy, creating an ideal retreat-like environment. Notably, remnants of a former swimming pool room present an intriguing renovation opportunity; with some creativity and investment, this area could be revitalized to become a stunning summer entertainment zone. For newcomers to the area, Harlow's abundance of green spaces combined with excellent transport links makes it an attractive place for families. Proximity to both overground services in Harlow and the underground at Epping allows easy access into London and beyond. This property represents not just a home but a chance to craft your perfect living space in an enviable location.
