The Apartment
Entering the property, a long and welcoming hallway immediately gives the apartment a clean, contemporary feel. The crisp white décor and wood-effect flooring continue through much of the accommodation, creating a bright and cohesive interior.
Despite its manageable size, the layout has been intelligently designed to maximise usable space.
At approximately 43.1 sq m / 463 sq ft, the apartment provides an excellent balance between an impressive living area, comfortable bedroom and stylish bathroom.
Open-Plan Kitchen, Living & Dining Room
The standout room is undoubtedly the superb open-plan kitchen and living area, measuring approximately 20'5" x 11'5" (6.22m x 3.48m).
This generous room provides plenty of space to create clearly defined kitchen, dining and relaxation areas without feeling cramped.
At the living end, the substantial contemporary window makes a particularly striking feature. It floods the room with natural daylight while providing an attractive outlook across mature greenery, something that is relatively unusual for such a conveniently positioned apartment.
There is ample room for sofas, occasional furniture and a television area, while the dining section comfortably accommodates a table and chairs.
For anyone who enjoys entertaining, the open-plan arrangement works particularly well, allowing the kitchen, dining and sitting spaces to flow naturally together.
Contemporary Kitchen
The kitchen is finished in a stylish modern design with an extensive range of high-gloss white wall and base units complemented by attractive wood-effect work surfaces.
Integrated appliances include an oven and electric hob, while the kitchen also incorporates a sink, generous worktop space and plentiful storage.
Under-unit and plinth lighting adds another sophisticated touch, particularly in the evening.
The overall appearance is bright, streamlined and contemporary, perfectly complementing the wider apartment.
Double Bedroom
The bedroom measures approximately 10'1" x 9'7" (3.07m x 2.92m) and provides comfortable accommodation for a double bed together with additional bedroom furniture.
The photographs show excellent fitted mirrored wardrobes providing valuable clothes storage without unnecessarily reducing the usable floor area.
Neutral white décor, modern flooring and carefully positioned lighting create a calm and relaxing bedroom.
Stylish Bathroom
The bathroom continues the contemporary theme and is beautifully finished with modern neutral tiling.
The suite comprises a panelled bath with shower and glazed screen, wall-mounted wash hand basin and concealed-cistern WC.
A large illuminated mirror provides an attractive finishing touch, while the overall specification gives the room a smart, almost hotel-style appearance.
Edinburgh House & Edinburgh Gate
Edinburgh House forms part of the modern Edinburgh Gate development, occupying an exceptionally convenient position on Edinburgh Way.
The communal areas are considerably more impressive than those found in many apartment developments.
A magnificent central atrium provides a dramatic entrance, with high ceilings, extensive glazing, attractive planting, contemporary architectural detailing and seating areas.
Residents also have access to attractive communal terrace areas providing an opportunity to sit outdoors and enjoy views across the surrounding greenery.
The combination of modern architecture, spacious communal areas and proximity to transport gives Edinburgh House a distinctive feel.
Parking
A major advantage of this apartment is that it comes with parking. This is secure & underground and therefore protects your vehicle from the elements as well as making it virtually impossible to steal etc.
For commuters, professionals and buyers who still require a car despite having the railway station so close, this provides the best of both worlds.
You can leave the car at home for journeys into London while retaining the convenience of private transport for evenings, weekends and trips around Essex and Hertfordshire.
Harlow Town Station - Virtually on Your Doorstep
For commuters, the location is difficult to beat.
Harlow Town railway station is immediately beside the Edinburgh Gate development, approximately a minute or two away on foot depending upon the apartment entrance used.
Regular trains provide direct connections towards London Liverpool Street and Tottenham Hale, making the development particularly attractive to London commuters.
Northbound services also connect towards Sawbridgeworth, Bishop's Stortford, Stansted Airport and Cambridge.
For those travelling internationally, the direct rail connection towards Stansted Airport is another considerable advantage.
Harlow Mill railway station is approximately two miles away, providing an additional station on the same mainline.
Bus Connections
Bus services operate immediately around Harlow Town railway station and along Edinburgh Way, placing public transport within approximately 0.1 mile of the development.
Services provide connections to Harlow Town Centre and residential areas throughout Harlow, together with routes towards surrounding towns and villages.
The combination of rail and bus links means living here without relying heavily on a car is entirely realistic.
Harlow Town Park
Another major lifestyle advantage is the proximity of Harlow Town Park, which is only around 0.2-0.3 mile away.
This enormous green space offers something completely different from the urban convenience of Edinburgh Gate.
Residents can enjoy extensive walking and cycling routes, landscaped gardens, open spaces and recreational areas.
The park is also home to the hugely popular Pets' Corner, making it a great destination when family and younger visitors come to stay.
Being able to leave the apartment and be walking through parkland within minutes is one of the location's strongest attractions.
Harlow Town Centre
Harlow Town Centre is approximately 0.8-1 mile away, putting an extensive selection of shops, restaurants and services within easy reach.

Travelling west, the A414 links towards Hertford and onward connections with the A10.
Travelling east provides access towards the M11, with Junctions 7 and 7A both serving Harlow.
