Description

**GUIDE PRICE £375,000 - £400,000** Jukes Estate Agents are proud to bring to market this lovely semi detached 2 bedroom property in the ever popular Hillside in Potter Street, Harlow. For sale by way of a conditional sale.*
This is a highly desirable part of Harlow. This property is situated in a cul de sac which means no speeding traffic, and the traffic that there is, travels slowly and therefore quietly.
The property itself has lots to offer whoever are going to be the lucky new owners. For car owning families, access is via the rear of the property. There is a private small drive and then there is this bespoke steel sliding gate that allows access to a hard standing area big enough for 3/4 cars. This entire area is undercover which is a massive bonus! Alternatively there is a garage next to the sliding door with side access into the rear garden.
Unusually, I am starting with the rear garden because It is in itself, unusual and at the same time lovely. At the back of the garden as I have already said is this bespoke sliding door & stand alone garage. There is this hard standing with room for 3/4 cars, a garden shed, a nice size greenhouse & a very large workshop. The owner was an avid vintage car & bike enthusiast and whilst it will undoubtedly still have some of his 'stuff' inside when people are viewing this cracking property, you will still be able to see its size and the many uses a space this large could have. The main part of the garden has been thoughtfully designed over the years and has been developed into sections with small lawns & a plethora of established trees, shrubs and flowerbeds. There is a large pond full of beautiful goldfish & some Koi with a waterfall and a bridge that crosses the water at its central point. There is a large patio area that wraps around the extra large conservatory. This green space is a haven for wildlife that's encouraged to eat and drink via the bird feeders and the pond. If this property was mine I would spend every single minute that I could just sitting down and chilling with a cuppa or perhaps something a little stronger! I make no apology in starting with the outdoor rear space. It's a glorious garden.
The property itself was originally a 3 bedroom house with a downstairs bathroom. This was actually quite a common configuration back in the 30's & 40's. However, it didn't really suit the owners as would might expect and some years ago they reconfigured it by doing away with the smaller of the three bedrooms and created an upstairs bathroom. The downstairs bathroom still remains and has been modernised into a room with a walk in shower, WC & wash basin. It has been tastefully tiled on the walls as well as the floor.
There is a nice size lounge that has a large bay window overlooking the good size front garden. There is another large window at the far end of the lounge that looks into the conservatory.
The kitchen / diner is fully fitted and comes with all the usual white goods. There is a gas hob & electric oven. There's a nice ceramic sink & drainer with a large window that overlooks the detached side of the property. There is another window that overlooks the rear garden. The door from the kitchen leads into the extra large bespoke conservatory. This chunk of a conservatory covers virtually the entire width of the property and allows beautiful views over the rear garden. It is large enough to house lots of relevant furniture and it has roof blinds fitted to stave off the sun in the warmer months. Again, if mine, I would spend an awful lot of time here!
Upstairs we find two bedrooms. Both are doubles. Bedroom 1 is a very large double with windows at either end that overlook the front & the rear of the property respectively. It benefits from 4 fitted wardrobes of various sizes.
Bedroom 2 is a normal sized double bedroom and has a large window that overlooks the rear garden.
Upstairs, we also find the family bathroom that has a walk in shower, WC & wash basin with integrated furniture.
This property also has a larger than average front garden that is full of established trees, shrubs & flowerbeds.
In conclusion, we have a very large two bedroom family home with large front and back gardens, a huge conservatory, two double bedrooms and a large workshop & garage.
It is a property that allows the occupants complete privacy because of its rear entrance and it is located in an extremely quiet cul de sac.
Will it be everyone's cup of tea? No. No property is. BUT, I have no doubt that those that do, will not only like it, they will love it! It has so much going for it, and not just because of the property itself.
This property is ideally located for all local important amenities:
Nursery School (Ofsted rated good) 0.5 miles
Primary School (Ofsted rated good) 0.3 miles
Secondary School (Ofsted rated good) 0.5 miles
Nearest bus stop 0.1 miles

About Jukes Estate Agents, Harlow

ABOUT US...
About us

A chance meeting some time ago between Lee Venables & Geoff Flewers saw their conversation turn to estate

agents and how bad an experience they had both had when selling their own properties.

Wind forward 18 months and they were both running Town and Country Herts & Essex Estate Agents. They

became more convinced than ever that the dubious, archaic & darn right bad practices of far too many estate

agents were simply not going to stop. These cause major headaches & heartbreaks for vendors & sellers alike.

For example:

51.8% of all UK home sellers fail to sell within 10 months [source: Jefferies International Investment Bank]

40% of all Harlow sales collapse before exchange of contracts [source: Rightmove]

£2,899 is the average amount a home mover will lose though having a transaction collapse [source: Which?

Mortgage Advisors]

35% of all UK homes currently for sale are marked 'price reduced' [source: Zoopla]

35-40% of all sales are successful only after a change of estate agent [source: Rightmove]

Enough was enough for Lee & Geoff and in July 2023 they formed their own company and JUKES ESTATE AGENTS was

born. Their mantra "Changing the way Estate Agents work!" is exactly what they have been doing & will continue to do!

Based in Harlow but with satellite offices in the surrounding areas JUKES ESTATE AGENTS continue to be innovative and are essentially completely different & therefore unique in their approach to handling perhaps the most important thing you will ever do: Buy & Sell a property.

None of the 5 things above apply to JUKES ESTATE AGENTS. They have consistently

'topped' the charts by being the fastest selling local agent.

 

Their 'fall through' rate is less than 4% (the average is a staggering 40%). 

Over 95% of their properties sell for asking price or above. This is achieved by ACCURATE VALUATIONS, SUPERB

MARKETING & AN AFTER SALE SERVICE THAT IS SECOND TO NONE!

NO AGENCY FEES

Yes you read that correctly!

WE SELL YOUR PROPERTY

FOR THE FULL MARKET VALUE (often even more)

WITH NO AGENCY FEES

NO CATCH

NO GIMMICKS

JUST AN INNOVATIVE & NEW WAY OF SELLING PROPERTY!

JUKES ESTATE AGENTS have been using this innovative method of selling properties for a while now, and around 95% of our properties are sold this way. It works extremely well for both sellers & buyers alike. It qualifies that both are serious and ready to proceed, and it virtually negates the high fall through rates that far too many property sales are experiencing now, which is around 40% (data supplied by

Rightmove), and we can all agree that this is far too high.

There are various reasons that these sales fall through, however, by far the two biggest reasons are:

1) Buyers (and some sellers) change their minds.

2) Estate Agents fail to carry out the correct due diligence.

Doing things this new way cuts that all out!

Once a sale price has been agreed, we collect a reservation fee from the buyer (Usually 1% + VAT). This is non 3 refundable unless:

A) A survey highlights problems and a new price cannot be agreed.

B) If the buyer's mortgage is rejected & they cannot get one elsewhere.

In these two cases the fee would be returned. However, if the buyer simply changes their mind, they do not get their reservation fee back. Likewise, if the vendor pulls out, they have to pay the fee back to the buyer. Therefore, our sales rarely, if ever fall through.

Selling property this way brings peace of mind that both seller and buyer are committed and will not pull out of the purchase. EXAMPLE: A property is on the market for a guide price of £350,000 - £360,000. The buyer offers £355,000 plus the reservation fee. The vendor accepts the offer, and the buyer pays us a reservation fee of £3,550 which becomes our commission. On completion of said sale the vendor will receive the full £355,000. Both buyer & seller now have 'skin in the game' and will suffer financial penalties if either party pulls out. Guess what? They rarely, if ever do! 

CONCLUSION: National 'fall through' rates of property sales currently stand at around 32%. Rightmove have just released figures that show in the Harlow area it is OVER 40%! We have been selling property this way for some time and whilst no method of selling is guaranteed, our 'fall through' rate is less than 4%! 

Also & just as important is the fact that latest figures also show that over 25% of sales are being subjected to 'Gazundering'. 

This is where just before exchange, the buyer drops their offer which leaves the seller in an awful predicament. Again, Conditional sales virtually negates 'Gazundering' as they would lose their reservation fee if the seller refused their lower offer and they pulled out of the sale! Guess what? They don't try offering a lower amount.
