A Blend of Town and Country

Originally designed as one of the UK's post-war "new towns", Harlow is known for its generous layout, leafy boulevards and network of parks and public sculptures. The town combines a modern infrastructure with the charm of older areas such as Old Harlow, where historic buildings and traditional pubs sit alongside independent shops and cafés.

Many families appreciate that the essentials - schools, shops, healthcare and leisure facilities - are all within a short distance, reducing travel time and helping maintain a relaxed pace of life.

With its excellent schools, plentiful amenities, and access to countryside adventures, it's a place where family life can truly flourish.
There is a section 20 on this property which means that the local authority who are the leaseholders will possibly be carrying out maintenance in the next few years & therefore this is reflected in the guide price of £175,000.
This property is for sale by way of a secured sale which means that the lucky new owners will have to pay a reservation fee of 1% + VAT to secure the property and that needs to be factored in when making an offer. Please call the office for full details.
