5 bedroom character property for sale

Tenure: Freehold

Old Harlow still retains all that is attractive about village life, pretty cottages, and an interesting street line which includes houses from different periods, all situated in close proximity to rural surroundings. Old Harlow also has the added advantage of ease of access to amenities and transport links, making this location ideal for family life and commuting requirements.

“We have loved living in this area and especially in this particular house,” says Donna “Old Harlow is pretty unique in its location, we do feel very close to the countryside and yet on the other hand we have access to everything a family of today really needs. There is a super parade of shops a short walk from the house where you can find most of the things you need, the schools in the area are excellent. The M11 is easily accessed, and I can reach Stanstead airport in about 15 minutes. There are two main line rail stations in the area and the closest is Harlow Mill which I usually walk to, but would only take two minutes to reach by car.”

“The house has been the most wonderful place to live, it’s spacious and quirky and we all just love it here. It’s spacious enough for us all to be together but also spacious enough for us to find a room to be on our own if you need to work, listen to music or just relax with your own thoughts. Entertaining here is so easy, there is a good flow to the house, but the kitchen and dining room are more open plan living and this large room has the benefit of a conservatory room which leads off into the garden. It is the perfect place to entertain and is actually the heart of the house. It is has been designed to be modern contemporary without being at odds with the house itself.”

“It will be a real tug to leave this home, and it has been a very happy home where friends have always felt welcome. We shall miss living here so very much, this area and this house has so much to offer, and I know the new owners will be as happy and contented as we have been!”
