New Pond Street, Newhall, Essex, CM17

There’s something quietly special about arriving at this penthouse in Newhall. Before you even step inside, it already feels different, almost like you’ve come home to a tucked away hideout. 

You start at your own private porch and staircase, a small detail that instantly gives this place a sense of independence. No corridors, no neighbours passing, just your own entrance, your own little moment of calm before heading inside.

Push open the front door and the apartment unwraps itself slowly. A warm hallway welcomes you in, wooden floors underfoot, soft lighting and that peaceful hush you only get on the top floor. Sunlight filters from the far end, guiding you naturally towards the heart of the home. And that’s where the magic happens.

The open plan living space stretches out in front of you, almost 400 square feet of light, air and possibility. It’s the kind of room that changes with the seasons. In summer, the dual aspect doors swing open and the whole space breathes… the wraparound balcony becomes part of your daily rhythm: coffee at sunrise, evening air drifting in, friends gathered with the doors wide open.

In winter, it transforms into something completely different, warm lamps glowing, music playing softly through the integrated audio system, a place that feels grounded and cosy, even with all that space around you.

The kitchen sits to one side, neatly designed and fully integrated, but never intrusive. It feels like part of the story rather than a separate chapter, someone cooking, someone chatting at the breakfast bar, everyone still together.

Both bedrooms sit quietly away from the main living area, each offering the same calm, soft feel. The main bedroom is especially peaceful, with built in wardrobes, soft deep carpet and a thoughtful touch you wouldn’t expect in an apartment, discreet eaves storage tucked neatly beneath the window, offering practical space without disturbing the calm feel of the room.

The second bedroom mirrors the same quality and comfort and again offers unexpected additional storage. It’s ideal as a peaceful office, guest room or a proper second double.

Even the main bathroom feels thought through, with modern fittings and its own audio system, a detail you don’t realise you’ll love until you’re getting ready in the morning with music playing quietly in the background.

The home’s Hive smart heating system adds an extra layer of comfort and efficiency, helping keep the space warm exactly when you need it.

The home is pet friendly, making it ideal for dog owners who enjoy Newhall’s woodland walks and green spaces.

Outside, Newhall surrounds you with everything people love about living here: woodland walks, modern architecture, cafés, play spaces, and that rare feeling of a community designed with intention. From here, you can reach Harlow Mill station, the M11 or Stansted Airport with surprising ease, making the location as practical as it is beautiful.

Your parking space sits behind secure barrier control, but for households with more than one car, the surrounding streets make life simple too.

This apartment isn’t just a penthouse. It’s a top floor retreat filled with light, privacy and little luxuries, a home that feels lived in before you’ve even moved in.
