Great Leylands, Harlow, CM18

EXCELLENT PROJECT: A semi-detached house with great potential, in a large plot opposite a quiet green, yet close to local schools and transport links.

Overall Description

This semi-detached 1960's property sits in a lovely corner location opposite a pleasant green. The property has been extended in the past and is in need of internal modernisation, but has great potential for extending further (subject to consent) and modernising to create a large modern family home in an excellent family-friendly setting. There are currently three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs with a large loft that has potential for conversion into more bedrooms. Downstairs there are three receptions, including the garden room extension, entrance hall, kitchen, rear hall and utility. It has double-glazed windows and gas central-heating. The house sits in a large corner plot so is perfect for keen gardeners, and also has a shared driveway and detached garage. The property is being sold with no chain. We have an Open House booked from 10am to 11am on Saturday 3rd May so please call to book an appointment.

Location

The house sits opposite a quiet green in the sought-after Brays Grove area of Harlow, so has little passing traffic, making it child and pet friendly. There are good schools within the local vicinity including the Purford Green Primary School, a short walk away, and Passmores Academy. Harlow has excellent transport links being in close proximity to the M11 motorway and A414 leading to the A10 and A1, as well as Harlow Town and Harlow Mill Stations with regular trains to London Liverpool Street. Harlow has a very good range of shops and other amenities including the Princess Alexandra Hospital and the Tesco Supermarket, just up the road. The Old Town has pubs and good local restaurants. Harlow is surrounded by open countryside making the property perfect for families keen on outdoor activities, walking or cycling.
