Church End, Harlow

**GUIDE PRICE £325,000 - £350,000** Jukes Estate Agents are delighted to bring to market this lovely extended 3 bedroom property in the ever popular Church End, Harlow. For sale by way of a conditional sale*
Located sideways onto the road, this property has a large communal area to the front of the property that means that there is no traffic and adds safety and quietness.
This property was originally a 4 bedroom house, but the current owners took the decision some time ago to convert it into a 3 double bedroom property rather than a 2 double 2 single one. At the same time they extended downstairs to add to the open plan kitchen / diner. This has created a third dimension to the open plan eating / dining area which is currently configured to a home bar area but could easily be converted into many other uses.
The kitchen is lovely and fully fitted and comes with all the usual appliances.
The dining area currently houses a 6 seater dining table and chairs.
All in all this extra large eating, cooking, entertaining area works extremely well.
The lounge is a good size and benefits from a large window that overlooks the front of the property. It also has a fitted carpet.
The rear garden is a decent size and the current owners decided to turn it into one big patio. This means low maintenance and you can create various layouts with tubs etc. However, keen gardeners could easily turn it back into a traditional garden if required.
Upstairs we have 3 double bedrooms and the family bathroom. As I said at the start, this used to be a 4 bedroom property but was re configured some time ago when the current owners knocked the 2 single bedrooms into a double. It could of course be put back to a four bedroom property. However, the 3 bedrooms are all decent sizes and the family bathroom consists of a bathtub, WC & wash basin.
The location of this property is superb and it is close to all important amenities.
