High Street, Roydon, Harlow, Essex, CM19

This distinctive Grade II Listed home, believed to date from the early 19th century, forms part of an attractive terrace of former industrial cottages and holds a prominent position within Roydon’s High Street. Offered chain free and having remained in the same ownership for approximately 40 years, the property has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a stylish and well-presented home, ready for immediate occupation.

Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is deceptively spacious and can be accessed via the front entrance or, for added convenience, from the rear where the parking and garage are located. The property retains its characterful façade, complemented by original Crittall windows to the front with secondary glazing, while the rear elevation benefits from uPVC double glazing. Gas central heating is provided throughout.

Upon entering, a solid timber front door opens into a generous open-plan living and dining area, featuring a staircase rising to the first floor and dual-aspect windows that fill the space with natural light. To the rear, a lobby area provides access to the garden via a glazed uPVC door and leads to a contemporary cloakroom fitted with a low-level WC, vanity wash hand basin, tiled flooring, and extractor fan.

The newly fitted kitchen is well-appointed with a range of wall and base units, complemented by granite work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with gas hob and extractor, alongside space for additional freestanding appliances.

The first floor offers flexible accommodation, with two rooms that may be arranged as individual bedrooms or combined to create a spacious principal suite with an adjoining dressing area or study. These are served by a modern bathroom fitted with a bath and overhead shower, wash hand basin, and WC.

The second floor comprises two further well-proportioned bedrooms, accessed via a small landing, providing additional versatility for family living or home working.

Externally, the rear courtyard garden has been recently landscaped for ease of maintenance and features a contemporary stone-tiled patio, ideal for outdoor dining. A rear gate leads to the allocated parking area, and the property further benefits from a garage situated en bloc.

Ideally located within the heart of the village, the property is within easy reach of local amenities including shops, a post office, public houses, a well-regarded primary school, and a mainline station providing direct services to London Liverpool Street in approximately 33 minutes.

Residents contribute to the upkeep of communal areas via a management company, with a small monthly charge covering maintenance, lighting, gardening, and general repairs.
