Set within the striking and highly regarded Edinburgh House development at Edinburgh Gate, this superb two-bedroom, two-bathroom third-floor apartment offers approximately 779 sq ft (72.4 sq m) of stylish, contemporary accommodation in one of Harlow's most distinctive residential buildings.

Its location is equally impressive. Harlow Town Park is virtually on the doorstep, Harlow Town railway station is within comfortable walking distance, and the town centre, hospital, shopping, leisure facilities and major road connections are all readily accessible.

For commuters, couples, young families, downsizers or anyone seeking something rather more distinctive than a conventional apartment, this is an exceptionally appealing home.

A Particularly Impressive Development

Edinburgh House immediately makes an impression.

The building has been designed around a spectacular multi-level central atrium, with soaring open spaces, contemporary glass balustrades, feature planting and galleries connecting the individual floors.

Unlike the enclosed corridors associated with many apartment developments, Edinburgh House has a bright, open and almost hotel-like character.

The upper communal areas continue this theme, with extensive glazing allowing huge amounts of natural light into the building and views across the surrounding greenery.

Residents also have access to an attractive elevated communal terrace, providing outside seating and space to relax while enjoying the leafy outlook.

The Apartment

Entering the apartment, the generous hallway gives an excellent first impression.

Contemporary flooring runs through much of the accommodation, while recessed lighting, modern internal doors and the fresh decorative scheme reinforce the property's modern feel.

The hallway provides access to the principal rooms, creating a practical separation between the bedrooms and main living accommodation.

Superb Open-Plan Kitchen, Dining & Living Room
The centrepiece of the apartment is undoubtedly the fantastic open-plan kitchen/reception room, measuring approximately 16'8" x 15'8" (5.08m x 4.78m).
Large windows extend around two sides of the room, providing a wonderful degree of natural light together with attractive elevated views across established trees and the surrounding area. Importantly, the property's allocated parking space can be seen directly from the lounge window, offering an additional degree of convenience and reassurance.
The apartment is fitted with electric blackout blinds throughout, allowing occupants to control both light and privacy at the touch of a button. This is especially useful within the bright, extensively glazed living accommodation.
There is ample room for a substantial corner sofa and television area, while the layout leaves plenty of space for dining and entertaining.
The contemporary kitchen is finished with sleek high-gloss white cabinetry, contrasting dark metro-style tiled splashbacks and attractive timber-effect work surfaces. A large central island forms a natural focal point and provides additional preparation space, storage and breakfast-bar seating.
Integrated cooking appliances, an inset hob, sink and extensive cupboard space complete what is a highly practical as well as stylish kitchen.
Whether hosting friends, enjoying a family meal or simply relaxing at the end of the day, this is a wonderfully sociable room.
Comfort & Energy-Conscious Heating
A particularly worthwhile recent improvement is the installation of brand-new eco storage heaters throughout the property.
These provide modern electric heating across the apartment and complement the property's contemporary specification.
The combination of the new heating system, electric blackout blinds throughout and additional thermal window treatments in the bedrooms adds another layer of comfort and practicality to the home.

Impressive Principal Bedroom Suite
The principal bedroom measures approximately 14'6" x 12'5" (4.42m x 3.78m) and is exceptionally generous for an apartment.
There is ample room for a substantial double or king-size bed together with further bedroom furniture, while an entire wall of large fitted wardrobes provides extensive storage.
The bedroom also benefits from electric blackout blinds together with floor-to-ceiling blackout thermal curtains, helping to create a comfortable sleeping environment while also providing additional insulation and privacy.
The principal bedroom has its own private en-suite shower room, finished in a contemporary style with a large glazed shower enclosure, WC, wash basin with vanity storage, illuminated mirror and chrome heated towel rail.
Generous Second Bedroom
Bedroom two measures approximately 14'0" x 9'2" (4.27m x 2.79m) and is another excellent-sized room.
It currently works particularly well as a children's bedroom, but its proportions also make it ideal as a generous second double bedroom, guest room or home office.
Like the principal bedroom, it is fitted with electric blackout blinds and floor-to-ceiling blackout thermal curtains, providing excellent light control, privacy and an additional thermal barrier.

For buyers increasingly needing flexible working space, having a second bedroom of this size is a major advantage.

Contemporary Family Bathroom

In addition to the en suite there is a separate family bathroom, beautifully finished with contemporary grey stone-effect tiling.

It features a full-sized bath with shower over and glazed shower screen, WC and wash basin, together with a large illuminated mirror.

Having both a bathroom and a dedicated en suite makes the apartment particularly practical for couples, families or visiting guests.
Parking
The property also benefits from an allocated parking space, an increasingly valuable feature for apartment living.
A particularly useful detail is that the allocated space is visible directly from the lounge window, making it easy to keep an eye on the vehicle from within the apartment.

Harlow Town Park - Almost Outside Your Front Door

One of the apartment's outstanding advantages is its relationship with Harlow Town Park, which is effectively on the doorstep.

For anyone who enjoys walking, running, cycling or simply having access to significant green space, it is difficult to imagine a more convenient position.

The park provides extensive lawns, landscaped gardens, walking and cycling routes, children's play areas and numerous places to picnic and relax.

Pets' Corner is a perennial favourite with younger families, offering another attraction within easy reach of home.

For parents, having such an enormous outdoor recreational space within walking distance can transform day-to-day family life. Rather than needing to drive somewhere every time children want to play outside, some of Harlow's finest open space is immediately available.
