Foster Street, Harlow, CM17

Front Garden

A pathway leads through the lawned front garden to the cottage’s covered entrance. Picket fencing and established planting complement the characterful frontage, with the front door opening directly into the living room.

Living Room

10'8" x 8'9" (3.25m x 2.67m)

A welcoming reception room centred around an attractive exposed-brick fireplace housing a stove, set upon a tiled hearth. Timber floorboards and neutral decoration complement the cottage’s character, while the front-facing window provides natural light. An open connection around the central chimney breast leads through to the dining room, creating a sociable arrangement between the two reception areas.

Dining Room

13'7" x 10'4" (4.14m x 3.15m)

Continuing the timber flooring from the living room, the dining room provides space for a table and chairs, with an exposed-brick chimney breast and decorative timber mantel adding further character. The interconnecting layout makes this a natural setting for everyday dining and entertaining. From here, the staircase rises to the first floor, with access also provided to the kitchen and ground-floor bathroom.

Bathroom

4'6" x 8'4" (1.37m x 2.54m)

Accessed from the dining room, the bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with wall-mounted shower over, a wash basin set within a vanity storage unit and a low-level WC. Tiled walls and flooring are complemented by a blue feature wall, while a rooflight and decorative glass-block panel bring additional light into the room.

Kitchen

7'7" x 8'4" (2.31m x 2.54m)

The cottage-style kitchen is arranged in a practical galley layout, with timber-fronted wall and base units, light-coloured worktops and tiled splashbacks. Features include an inset sink and drainer with a traditional-style mixer tap, an oven and hob with extractor above, and space beneath the worktops for appliances. Recessed ceiling lighting and pale tiled flooring complete the room, with double doors leading into the conservatory.

Conservatory

11'8" x 13'5" (3.56m x 4.09m)

An attractive addition to the ground-floor accommodation, the conservatory provides a further sitting area overlooking the rear garden. The pitched, translucent roof and surrounding windows create a light-filled space, complemented by tiled flooring and neutral decoration. Double doors open directly onto the paved patio, connecting the indoor seating area with the garden and offering an inviting setting for a morning coffee or quiet afternoon.

Landing

2'7" x 2'4" (0.79m x 0.71m)

Returning to the dining room, the carpeted staircase rises to a compact first-floor landing. White-painted woodwork and neutral decoration continue the presentation of the ground floor, with doors providing access to both bedrooms.

Master Bedroom

10'8" x 10'4" (3.25m x 3.15m)

An attractively presented double bedroom featuring white-painted timber floorboards, a softly patterned feature wall and a window providing natural light. Currently arranged with a double bed, bedside furniture and a dressing table, the room also benefits from wardrobe storage with glazed doors. The light decoration creates a restful setting consistent with the cottage’s style.

Bedroom

10'8" x 10'3" (3.25m x 3.12m)

Currently arranged as a dressing room, the second bedroom continues the white-painted timber floorboards and neutral decoration. A range of full-height wardrobes provides useful storage, with a window and radiator beneath. Accessed independently from the landing, the room offers flexibility for a purchaser to arrange according to their requirements.

Garden

Double doors from the conservatory open onto a paved terrace, providing an attractive space for outdoor seating and dining. A timber pergola adds definition to the patio area, with planted borders softening the surrounding fencing.



Beyond the terrace, a long lawn extends through the garden, bordered by established shrubs, planting and timber fencing. Seating areas along its length offer different places to enjoy the surroundings, making the garden a particularly appealing feature for those who enjoy spending time outdoors.

Summerhouse/Workshop

11'4" x 8'0" (3.45m x 2.44m)

Positioned at the far end of the garden, the painted timber summerhouse benefits from power and lighting, with glazed double doors and a broad front window overlooking the lawn. A useful addition to the property, providing a separate space for hobbies or relaxing away from the main house.
