Harlow Road, Matching Tye, CM17

Nestled in the picturesque Essex countryside, this historic property known as The Matching Laundry offers a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. Originally built in the 1830s as part of the Moor Hall Estate, the home retains many charming original features while providing a solid foundation for modern updates. With five spacious bedrooms and four versatile reception areas, including a striking living room featuring a cast iron fireplace, there’s ample potential to enhance its appeal further. The well-appointed shaker kitchen boasts an Aga oven and an adjoining utility room, ideal for reimagining into a contemporary culinary space. A main bathroom complete with a roll-top tub adds character but could benefit from some modernisation to meet current standards. Outside, the expansive grounds are ready for transformation; the sizeable garage already has previous planning permission for an annexe—a lucrative opportunity for additional rental income or workspace. With its hefty gated driveway and generous outdoor space perfect for family activities or events, this property stands out as a potential investment in rural living near Epping and Harlow, offering great commuter access to London. The local area is rich with amenities including esteemed schools and delightful eateries, making it not just a renovation project but a chance to create a dream family home with substantial future value.
