The accommodation

The home is approached through its own front entrance, opening into a useful entrance area and hallway.
The hallway gives access to the principal ground-floor rooms while the staircase rises centrally to the first floor. The layout is practical and straightforward, with the main living space positioned to one side and the kitchen and utility facilities to the other.
Impressive reception / dining room

One of the defining features of the property is undoubtedly the enormous reception/dining room measuring approximately 20'10" x 12'7" (6.35m x 3.84m).
At more than 20ft in length, this is a genuinely substantial family room and provides enough space to create clearly defined sitting and dining areas without either feeling compromised.
The photographs demonstrate its excellent proportions, with room for substantial sofas and armchairs at one end while still accommodating a full dining suite towards the rear.
This flexibility makes it particularly well suited to family life. There is space to watch television and relax, somewhere for everyone to sit down together for meals and enough room to entertain friends and extended family without feeling crowded.
A feature fireplace provides a focal point to the sitting area, while large windows bring natural light into the room.
At the rear, glazed doors open directly onto the patio and garden, creating an excellent connection between the living accommodation and outside space.
During the summer months, opening the doors effectively extends the entertaining area into the garden - ideal for family gatherings, children's parties or simply enjoying dinner outside.
For purchasers wanting to put their own stamp on a property, the sheer scale of this room also provides enormous possibilities for future interior design.
Kitchen

The separate kitchen measures approximately 11'0" x 7'11" (3.33m x 2.41m) and offers an excellent amount of cupboard and preparation space.
An extensive range of fitted wall and base units provides plenty of storage, accompanied by work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, sink and appliance space.
The kitchen's proportions are another advantage. It is a proper working kitchen rather than a small galley, with storage and work surfaces running along both sides.
A rear door also provides direct access towards the garden.
The existing kitchen is perfectly functional while also presenting future owners with the opportunity, if desired, to update or redesign the room to their own taste over time.
Separate utility room

A particularly useful feature - and one that is surprisingly uncommon in many three-bedroom homes - is the separate utility room measuring approximately 9'9" x 5'0" (2.97m x 1.52m).
This provides extremely valuable additional household space.
There is room for laundry appliances, fridge/freezer and storage, allowing much of the day-to-day machinery of family life to be kept away from the main kitchen.
Anyone with children will appreciate just how useful a dedicated utility area can be, particularly when dealing with washing, school uniforms, sports kits, coats, shoes and general household storage.
A further external door provides another useful connection with outside.
First floor

The first floor is equally impressive in terms of space.
Rather than the common arrangement of two reasonable bedrooms and one tiny box room, this property provides three genuinely useful bedrooms, giving families considerably greater flexibility.
Principal bedroom

The principal bedroom measures approximately 14'6" x 9'8" (4.42m x 2.95m).
This is a remarkably generous room, comfortably accommodating a double bed together with wardrobes, drawers and additional bedroom furniture.
The dimensions provide plenty of potential for purchasers wishing to create a stylish principal bedroom with substantial storage.
Bedroom two

Bedroom two measures approximately 12'2" x 11'2" (3.71m x 3.40m).
Again, this is an excellent-size double bedroom with enough floor space for wardrobes and other furniture.
For families with older children or teenagers, having a second bedroom of these proportions can make a considerable difference.
It would also work extremely well as a large guest room.
Bedroom three

The third bedroom measures approximately 12'8" x 6'5" (3.86m x 1.96m).
At more than 12ft long, this is another highly usable room.
It makes an excellent child's bedroom and could equally become a nursery, guest room or dedicated home office for somebody working remotely.
Built-in storage within the first-floor layout provides further practicality.
Shower room & separate WC

Another sensible feature of the property is the arrangement of the washing facilities.
Rather than everything being squeezed into one room, there is a separate shower room containing a generous enclosed shower and wash basin, together with a separate WC.
For families getting ready for work and school at the same time each morning, separating these facilities can prove surprisingly convenient.
Both rooms also benefit from natural light.
The rear garden

Outside is another of the property's major attractions.
The rear garden measures approximately 40'3" x 22'8" (12.27m x 6.91m) and offers exactly the sort of outside space many families look for.
Immediately behind the house is a substantial paved terrace.
This provides an excellent setting for an outdoor dining table, garden furniture, barbecue or entertaining area and is ideally positioned immediately outside the reception/dining room.
Steps lead down to a generous lawn, providing ample room for children and pets to play.
Mature trees and greenery beyond the boundaries create an attractive leafy backdrop and provide a feeling of separation from the surrounding urban environment.
There are established planting areas around the garden, while a garden shed provides useful storage for tools, bicycles and outdoor equipment.
The garden strikes an excellent balance: Large enough to be properly useful for a family, but not so extensive that maintaining it becomes a full-time job.
Abbotsweld - A convenient family location

Abbotsweld forms part of an established residential area of Harlow and enjoys an exceptionally convenient position for schools, shops, healthcare, transport and recreation.

The A10 is also accessible to the west via the A414, providing further links towards Hertfordshire and north London.
Family life in harlow

Where Harlow really comes into its own is the sheer amount there is to do without travelling very far.
For families in particular, the town provides a combination of green space, organised sport, children's activities, theatre, culture and countryside that is difficult to replicate in many commuter towns.
Harlow town park & pets' corner
Harlow Town Park extends across more than 160 acres and is one of the town's great assets.
It includes landscaped gardens, huge areas of open grassland, an adventure playground, inclusive play facilities, an outdoor gym, skate park, paddling facilities and walking routes.
At the heart of the park is the enormously popular Pets' Corner, where families can see traditional farm animals together with more unusual residents.
It remains one of Harlow's best-loved family attractions and provides an inexpensive day out that children can enjoy again and again.
Playgrounds & open space

Harlow has an extraordinary network of green wedges, parks and playgrounds spread throughout its neighbourhoods.
There are dozens of children's playgrounds across the town, together with multi-use games areas and extensive walking and cycling routes.
This is one of the benefits of Harlow's original New Town design - residential neighbourhoods are interwoven with substantial areas of green space.
Harlow leisurezone

For sport and indoor activities, Harlow Leisurezone provides an enormous range of facilities.
There is a 25-metre swimming pool, learner pool, extensive gym, sports arena, badminton, basketball, football, netball and squash facilities.
For children there are swimming lessons, soft play, trampolining, holiday activities, sports coaching and numerous organised clubs.
Whatever the weather, there is usually something for children to do.
Harlow playhouse

For entertainment, Harlow Playhouse provides a year-round programme of theatre, comedy, music, dance, children's shows and family productions.
The town also has community theatre and arts organisations catering for a wide range of interests.
Parndon wood nature reserve

Those who prefer the outdoors can explore Parndon Wood Nature Reserve, an ancient woodland that has existed for more than 900 years.
Woodland trails, wildlife habitats and observation hides provide the opportunity to see birds, deer and other wildlife, making it another excellent family destination.
Harlow museum & walled gardens

Harlow Museum and Walled Gardens provides the opportunity to explore the area's history while enjoying attractive gardens and family activities.
For something different, Harlow is also famous internationally for its collection of public sculpture.
The town contains works by some of Britain's most celebrated sculptors and has become known as the world's first Sculpture Town, with sculptures positioned throughout parks, shopping areas and residential neighbourhoods.
The surrounding area

Living in Harlow also means having an exceptional choice of towns, villages and countryside within easy reach.
To the south, Epping and Epping Forest provide miles of ancient woodland, walking and cycling routes, cafés, restaurants and independent shops.
The forest is superb for family walks, cycling, horse riding and simply escaping into the countryside.
North Weald offers further rural attractions and events, while the heritage Epping Ongar Railway provides steam and heritage railway experiences that are particularly popular with families.
Towards Waltham Abbey, residents can enjoy the historic abbey town together with the vast Lee Valley Regional Park.
The Lee Valley offers walking, cycling, wildlife and waterside recreation, while the Lee Valley White Water Centre provides everything from white-water rafting to other adventure activities.

There is a separate kitchen, an extremely useful utility room, three genuinely good-sized bedrooms, separate shower and WC facilities and a superb rear garden measuring more than 40ft in length.
Yet it is the combination of the house and its location that really makes the proposition work.
Primary schooling is only a few minutes' walk away. Shops are close at hand. Doctors are approximately 0.3 miles away. Harlow town centre is around a mile away. Harlow Town station is approximately 1.9 miles away. Major road connections are readily accessible.
