Description

**offers over £360,000** Jukes Estate Agents are extremely delighted to bring to market this superb large 4 bedroom end of terrace family home in the ever popular Sycamore Field, Harlow. For sale by way of our exclusive Secured Sale Method.*
I love my job! Whether it's helping people get on the property ladder, helping people move up and down the property ladder etc. It is a very rewarding thing to do and the thing I often enjoy the most is describing properties and thus helping them sell.
When you get a property like this, I enjoy it even more!
This is a cracking 4 bedroom 2 bathroom family home with a large low maintenance garden in a quiet and popular part of Harlow. What's not to love?
Parking is often problematical in Harlow but a large communal car park to the front of the property makes parking easy for residents and visitors.
Downstairs we have a super large lounge / diner with large patio doors leading to the large garden. It also benefits from a high grade wood style floor.
The kitchen is everything you would want a kitchen to be. It is fully fitted with all the usual white goods. It has a large oven with a large 5 ring gas hob. It has cupboards and drawers a plenty and more work surfaces than you will ever need. It also has a high grade tiled floor and lovely down lights.
There has been some reconfiguration with the downstairs cloakroom and it has cleverly been changed into a shower room. It consists of a walk in shower, a WC and a hand basin and has been tastefully decorated. It really is a lovely addition to this already lovely property. The hallway has, like the lounge / diner high grade wood style flooring but it has the added feature of sunken lighting down the middle which not only looks fantastic but is really handy if coming home at night when the rest of the family are asleep as you wouldn't have to put all the lights on and chance waking them up! There is also a large storage cupboard which has had double Georgian style glass doors fitted and looks wonderful.
Upstairs we have 4 bedrooms. 2 large doubles and 2 large singles. In today's property world, the two single bedrooms could be considered small doubles and indeed, double beds could be fitted into both.
The family bathroom is larger than usual and consists of a bathtub, a walk in shower, WC & wash basin with integrated furniture, and a heated towel rail. It has beautifully tiled walls and floor.
This impressive property has a large garden and as with a high percentage of end of terrace properties, it is a 'wrap around' garden. The current owners (as you can see from the images) have done an awful lot of work to reconfigure the garden.
There is a high grade decked area immediately outside the patio doors and then they have decided to 'do away' with flower beds and have used beautiful porcelain slabs and tiles to create a large tiled / paved area. There is an artificial lawn area and a garden shed. As the garden wraps around the side of the property and here you find another paved patio area.
Not everyone is a keen gardener and this lovely open space is about as low maintenance as you can get. However, everyone is different and if this garden was mine, I would keep it just as it is and then add raised troughs and tubs etc packed full of wonderful plants and shrubs and therefore, the variations you can do here are endless. High fences on all sides make it very private. Having said that, there is a gate that allows access to the rear and another gate that allows access to the front of the property.
In conclusion, this larger than average 4 bed 2 bath family home is going to make a lucky family a super home. It has just about everything a family home needs and on top of that is ideally located for all major and important amenities:
Junior & Infants School (Ofsted rated good) 0.2 miles.
Secondary School (Ofsted rated good) 1.0 miles.
Nearest bus stop 0.1 miles.

Living in Harlow
Introduction

Harlow, located in the west of Essex, is a town that offers a strong family-friendly environment with a mix of urban convenience, abundant green spaces and good transport links. Originally developed as one of the post-war new towns, it continues to evolve, blending modern living with a sense of community. For families, it provides a well-balanced lifestyle - close enough to London for commuting, yet surrounded by countryside and leisure opportunities.

Location, Transport and Commute

Harlow is well positioned for both local and national travel. The M11 motorway runs close to the town, giving excellent road access south to London and north towards Cambridge. The A414 also connects Harlow with Hertford, Chelmsford and other parts of Essex and Hertfordshire.

There are two main railway stations - Harlow Town and Harlow Mill - both offering regular direct services to London Liverpool Street, with journeys typically taking around 30 to 40 minutes. Trains also connect to Cambridge, Stansted Airport and other nearby towns, making it convenient for work, travel and days out.

Local transport links are well developed, and ongoing investment under the Harlow and Gilston Garden Town scheme is improving road layouts, cycle routes and public transport options.

Schools, Family Infrastructure and Housing

For families, Harlow provides a good selection of schools, nurseries and childcare facilities. Several primary schools are rated highly, and there are multiple secondary schools within the town, as well as sixth-form and college options. The town is also within reach of independent and grammar schools in neighbouring areas.

Housing in Harlow is generally more affordable than in many other commuter towns near London. There is a broad mix of property types, from established homes in older neighbourhoods to new developments being built as part of the area's ongoing regeneration. The town's design - featuring neighbourhoods separated by green "wedges" - gives it a more open, suburban feel.

Community infrastructure is improving, with plans for new schools, healthcare centres and leisure facilities under the Garden Town initiative.

Parks, Green Spaces and Outdoor Life

One of Harlow's biggest strengths is its abundance of parks and open spaces. Harlow Town Park is among the largest urban parks in the country, featuring lakes, landscaped gardens, playgrounds, picnic areas and a popular petting zoo known as Pets' Corner. It's a hub for families on weekends and during school holidays.

Nature lovers can enjoy the nearby Harlow Marsh, Parndon Wood Nature Reserve and the River Stort Navigation, all of which are ideal for walking, cycling and wildlife spotting. The town's design ensures most neighbourhoods have green areas within easy reach, giving families space to enjoy the outdoors without needing to travel far.

Outdoor Fun - Families can spend time in the Town Park, explore local woodlands, or enjoy sports facilities and playgrounds spread throughout the town.

Cultural Activities - The Playhouse Theatre and Gibberd Gallery provide opportunities to introduce children to the arts, while local libraries host story sessions and community events.
