Harlow: A Fusion of History and Modernity
Nestled in the heart of Essex, England, the town of Harlow stands as a captivating testament to the harmonious coexistence of history and modernity. With its rich heritage, diverse community, and thriving urban landscape, Harlow offers an enchanting experience that takes visitors on a journey through time, showcasing the remarkable fusion of the old and the new.
A Glimpse into the Past: Historical Significance
Harlow's roots trace back to the Middle Ages, but it wasn't until the aftermath of World War II that the town experienced significant growth and development. Following the war's devastation, Harlow emerged as a pioneer of post-war town planning, designed to alleviate overcrowding in London and provide a new way of life for its residents. The New Town movement aimed to create self-contained communities, and Harlow embodied this concept flawlessly.
Visitors to Harlow can catch glimpses of its historical significance in structures like the Harlow Water Gardens-a picturesque area that showcases the integration of water and sculpture, giving a nod to both tradition and innovation. The St. Mary Magdalene Church, with its centuries-old architecture, provides a peaceful contrast to the town's modern developments, reminding us of the enduring link between the past and the present.
Harlow Sculpture Town: A Unique Artistic Expression
One of Harlow's most distinctive features is its designation as a Sculpture Town. This artistic initiative was inspired by the town's original design, which incorporated sculptures into its urban planning, giving residents and visitors the opportunity to engage with art on a daily basis. The Gibberd Garden, named after Sir Frederick Gibberd, the town's architect and planner, offers a serene setting where nature and art harmonize, showcasing an array of sculptures and architectural features.
Education and Innovation: A Contemporary Hub
Harlow's commitment to progress extends beyond its historical foundations. The town boasts a thriving education and innovation sector, making it a center for learning and technological advancement. The Harlow Science Park is a testament to this, fostering collaboration between academia and industry to drive innovation forward. As a result, the town attracts a diverse population of students, researchers, and entrepreneurs who contribute to its dynamic and forward-thinking atmosphere.
Community Diversity and Cultural Enrichment
Harlow's charm doesn't just lie in its architecture and innovation-it's also a melting pot of cultures that enrich the town's social fabric. A stroll through Harlow's streets reveals a vibrant array of cuisines, festivals, and celebrations that reflect its diverse community. From the Harlow Carnival to cultural fairs celebrating Diwali, Chinese New Year, and more, the town showcases a harmonious blend of traditions from around the world.
Green Spaces and Nature Retreats
Despite its urban development, Harlow doesn't forsake its connection to nature. The town's green spaces, parks, and nature reserves provide residents and visitors with places of respite and relaxation. The Harlow Town Park, a sprawling expanse of greenery, serves as an oasis within the urban landscape, offering walking paths, lakes, and recreational facilities for all ages.
Embracing the Future While Honoring the Past
Harlow stands as a captivating example of how a town can evolve and flourish while paying homage to its history and heritage. By integrating historical architecture, innovative urban planning, artistic expression, education, and cultural diversity, Harlow offers a unique and immersive experience that encapsulates the essence of human progress and resilience. It's a town that invites visitors to walk the fine line between the past and the present, while embracing the future with open arms.
Road & Rail Links
Harlow boasts two exits from the close by M11 which means easy access regardless of travelling South to pick up the M25 or further down to the North Circular, or North to Stansted Airport, or further up to Cambridge and beyond.
Harlow also has two railway stations, Harlow Town & Harlow Mill with direct links to London Liverpool St in one direction and Stansted Airport & Cambridge.
The property itself is an extended 3 bedroom end of terrace property which is in superb condition throughout and is going to become a superb family home for a lucky family.
Situated in the lovely cul-de-sac, Pinewood Close properties do not come onto the market very often, and it is clear to see why.
Before we even go inside, we have to mention the front of the property.
Not only does this lovely home have a nice front garden that has been landscaped superbly well by the current owners, it has a small plot as well that is just the other side of the communal path that runs along the front of the three houses.
Decent in size and currently decked in raised decking that is home to various garden pots and tubs. This area STPP could easily house a home office of 'man cave' if required.
You enter this property via a good size porch that has oodles of natural light. It has a lovely tiled floor and even has a hand basin. As porches go, it is lovely!
As you enter the property, the first thing that struck me was that the Hallway and Lounge has beautiful marble tiles that 'smacks' of top grade flooring. The lounge is spacious and has a fabulous fireplace and lovely downlighting. There are bespoke bi fold blinds that closed completely hides the high grade conservatory and when open, reveals the size of the ground floor space.
The conservatory actually looks and feels like an extension as it has a high grade enclosed roof that stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The current owners use this area as a dining area and it houses a 6 seater dining table and chairs and there is still room for more occasional furniture.
Of course it is this special roof that allows for the conservatory to be used 12 months of the year as invariably conservatories are simply too hot or cold for a large chunk of the year.
There are large double patio doors that lead onto a decked veranda.
The rear garden (south facing), has been cleverly designed with raised flower beds and decked seating and is laid to paving. There is a BBQ area and a side gate with access to the property from the side.
The whole veranda and garden area has concealed lighting and I am told. looks fabulous after dark!
The kitchen is wonderful and is a bespoke 'Howdens Kitchen'. Those of you who know their kitchens, know that Howdens Kitchens are 'top draw' and the cabinets carry a 25 year guarantee! Fully integrated, it has a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, and a plethora of draw and cupboard space. The kitchen also has a lovely tiled floor and a large window overlooking the front of the property.
Off the hallway is the downstairs cloakroom with WC & Handbasin.
Upstairs we have the 3 bedrooms and family bathroom.
Bedroom 1 is a large double with fitted wardrobes, fitted carpet and a large window overlooking the rear garden.
Bedroom 2 is a smaller double with fitted carpet and a large window overlooking the front of the property.
Bedroom 3 is a single bedroom with fitted carpet and a window overlooking the rear garden.
The family bathroom has beautiful tiling on the walls and lovely flooring that complements the walls beautifully. There is a large walk in shower, WC & Washbasin with integrated furniture.
The Landing has the same beautiful marble flooring as the hallway and lounge. Off the landing is the airing cupboard and combi boiler.
The radiators in every room are modern and quite 'funky'.
There is a garage en bloc to the rear of the property and there is an allocated parking space towards to front of the property as well.
So what do we have?
we have a 3 bedroom family home in a quiet cul-de-sac that needs nothing doing to it whatsoever!
It has been the loving home for the current owners for some years now, but the time is right for them to move onto pastures new, and this cracking property awaits its new owners!
Please note there is a £3,500 +vat reservation fee payable to secure this property and to take it off the market. This is payable in addition to the purchase price, as our vendors have opted for our sell-for-free option and this should be considered when making an offer.
