A Wonderful Opportunity to Create Your Perfect Family Home

Jukes Estate Agents are delighted to present this spacious three-bedroom family home, occupying a pleasant position within the established and popular Five Acres residential area of Harlow.

Properties that offer this combination of space, practicality, location and potential are always worthy of serious consideration, particularly for buyers who want the opportunity to put their own stamp on their next home.

This is not a property that has been extensively modernised purely to appeal to a passing trend. Instead, it offers an exciting blank canvas for someone with imagination, enthusiasm and a desire to create a home that reflects their own personality.

The accommodation is already generously proportioned, with a substantial open-plan living area stretching across much of the ground floor, two very good-sized double bedrooms, a third bedroom, a downstairs cloakroom and an attractive modern shower room upstairs.

Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden offers a manageable outdoor space, complete with a brick-built outbuilding that could be adapted for a variety of practical purposes.

The position within Five Acres is another major attraction. Local primary schools, secondary schools, everyday shopping facilities, bus connections and green spaces are all within easy reach.

For families, first-time buyers, couples looking for additional space or those wishing to move into a well-established Harlow neighbourhood, this property offers a wealth of possibilities.

Ground-Floor Accommodation

Entrance Hallway

The property is approached via a paved front area, leading to the entrance door and into a welcoming hallway.

The hallway provides access to the main living accommodation and the downstairs cloakroom, while the staircase rises to the first floor.

A radiator provides warmth, and the space offers potential for updating with contemporary flooring, modern lighting and fresh decoration.

There is also an area beneath the staircase that could be utilised for useful household storage.

Ground-Floor Cloakroom

An extremely convenient feature of this home is the downstairs WC.

Fitted with a low-level toilet and wash hand basin, it provides useful additional facilities for visiting friends and family.

For households with children, a second toilet can be particularly valuable, especially during busy mornings.

The cloakroom also benefits from a small window.

Open-Plan Kitchen, Reception and Dining Room

Maximum overall dimensions: 25'11" x 17'8" (7.90m x 5.38m)

This substantial open-plan space is undoubtedly one of the property's most appealing features.

Occupying an impressive proportion of the ground floor, the accommodation offers the flexibility to create a truly wonderful family living environment.

The layout provides areas for cooking, dining and relaxing, with the kitchen positioned towards the rear of the property.

Large windows allow natural light to enter the room, while the generous proportions offer plenty of scope for buyers wishing to create a more contemporary layout.

The reception area is comfortably large enough to accommodate family seating, television furniture and additional storage.

Imagine settling down together to watch a film, enjoying a relaxed Sunday afternoon or gathering with friends for an evening of conversation and entertainment.

The dining area provides an excellent opportunity to create a central family gathering point.

Whether it is breakfast before the school run, helping children with homework, celebrating birthdays or enjoying Sunday lunch, this flexible space could become the heart of the home.

The existing kitchen features a range of traditional wood-effect cupboards, work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink, with space for appliances.

Although functional in its current layout, the kitchen provides tremendous potential for improvement.

A purchaser may wish to introduce sleek contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances, new worktops and modern lighting to create a stylish kitchen that works perfectly for their family.

The open-plan arrangement also offers the possibility of incorporating a breakfast bar or informal dining counter, subject to the final design and available space.

For buyers who love the idea of transforming a property, the scope offered by this room is particularly exciting.

The opportunity to create an attractive, cohesive kitchen, dining and living environment could make a substantial difference to how the home looks and feels.

Access to the rear courtyard garden is available from this area, creating a useful connection between the inside and outside spaces.

First-Floor Accommodation

First-Floor Landing

The staircase leads to a central landing providing access to all three bedrooms and the family shower room.

The landing includes useful storage facilities and provides access to the loft hatch.

With a fresh decorative scheme and updated floor coverings, this space could easily be brought into line with a contemporary interior design.

Principal Bedroom - 11'5" x 11'5" (3.48m x 3.48m)

The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned double room with a large window providing excellent natural light.

Its dimensions offer plenty of scope for a double bed, bedside tables, wardrobes and additional furniture.

This is a particularly attractive room for buyers wishing to create a comfortable and relaxing principal bedroom.

Currently decorated in a traditional style, the room provides a wonderful opportunity for a fresh new colour scheme, modern flooring and contemporary furnishings.

Imagine transforming it into a calm, welcoming retreat with soft neutral tones, attractive lighting and stylish fitted or freestanding wardrobes.

The existing built-in storage is another practical advantage.

Bedroom Two - 11'4" x 11'0" (3.45m x 3.35m)

The second bedroom is another excellent double room, offering similarly generous proportions.

A large window allows plenty of daylight into the accommodation, while the room provides flexibility for different family requirements.

It would make a wonderful bedroom for an older child or teenager, with space for a bed, wardrobes, desk and additional furniture.

Alternatively, it could serve as comfortable guest accommodation for visiting friends and relatives.

For buyers who work from home, the dimensions also make it suitable for combining a bedroom with a dedicated working area.

Like the principal bedroom, it offers an exciting opportunity for redecoration and personalisation.

Bedroom Three - 8'8" x 6'11" (2.64m x 2.11m)

The third bedroom adds valuable flexibility to the property.

It could provide a lovely nursery, a child's first bedroom, guest room, dressing room or home office.

For families with younger children, having a separate bedroom for each child can be a considerable advantage.

For professionals, the room could become a peaceful workspace away from the main living accommodation.

Its versatility means it can adapt as the family's requirements change over time.

Modern Family Shower Room

One of the most attractive improvements already made to this property is the contemporary first-floor shower room.

Finished with stylish neutral-toned wall tiling, the room has a fresh, modern appearance.

The generous walk-in shower enclosure features a large overhead rainfall-style shower head together with an additional adjustable handset.

A clear glass shower screen helps maintain the room's sense of openness, while the fitted shower controls give the space a contemporary finish.

The room also includes a modern wash basin with vanity storage, WC and chrome heated towel rail.

A window provides natural light and ventilation.

For buyers looking to modernise the rest of the property gradually, having a smart, contemporary shower room already in place is a definite benefit.

Outside the Property

Front Garden and Approach

To the front, the property benefits from a paved area providing an attractive opportunity for outdoor seating, decorative planters or further landscaping.

A mature hedge offers a degree of screening, while the position at the end of the terrace gives the home an appealing sense of individuality.

For someone who enjoys gardening, even a small amount of thoughtful planting could transform the first impression.

The paved area also offers opportunities to enhance the property's kerb appeal with modern planters, attractive lighting and carefully chosen landscaping.

Enclosed Rear Courtyard Garden - 18'5" x 16'10" (5.61m x 5.13m)

The property benefits from a private enclosed rear courtyard garden.

This is an excellent space for buyers who appreciate having their own outside area without the considerable maintenance associated with a large lawn.

The garden is predominantly paved, making it particularly suitable for outdoor furniture and entertaining.

Imagine creating a comfortable outdoor seating area where you can enjoy a morning coffee, a summer barbecue or a relaxing evening with friends.

For families with younger children, the enclosed layout provides a useful outdoor space for play and activities, with appropriate supervision.

The existing raised planting area offers scope for colourful seasonal flowers, shrubs or decorative planting.

There is also room to introduce pots, planters and other features to create an attractive outdoor retreat.

A side gate provides external access, adding everyday practicality.

With a little imagination, the courtyard could become a charming extension of the main living accommodation during the warmer months.

Brick-Built Outbuilding - 10'3" x 4'9" (3.12m x 1.45m)

Another useful feature is the brick-built outbuilding situated within the rear garden.

Providing approximately 48 sq ft of additional space, it offers practical storage for garden equipment, tools, bicycles and household items.

Depending on a purchaser's requirements, its condition and any necessary permissions, it could also potentially be adapted for hobbies or workshop-style storage.

The additional space is particularly welcome for families who need somewhere to keep items that they would rather not store inside the house.

Parking

Communal parking areas are situated close to the property, as shown in the aerial photographs.

The development includes a mixture of parking bays and roadside parking opportunities.
