The property itself is many things! It's really lovely, very unusual, a little quirky even, and definitely a cracking property.
Firstly, I have to admit to being a bit of a 'bungalow fan'. Now, I want to put to bed this ridiculous myth that bungalows are for older people! They really are not! If you cannot get past this thing of bungalows and older people, try thinking of them as a flat with a garden that has nobody living below or above you! They make excellent dwellings. This bungalow however, is an absolute cracker of a property. Its a 4/5 bed extended family property with a huge lounge, a good size kitchen, 3 double bedrooms and 2 bedrooms that are good size single bedrooms (although you can fit double beds in them). It also has a large garden which is an added bonus. We are told that it had an HMO licence, which although expired, should be fairly easily renewable. The current owners have added a good size porch plus an unusual but very attractive conservatory style room.
Let's however take you through the property room by room and area by area.
You enter the property through a good size porch where there is bundles of room for shoes and coats etc. There are a couple of bench type seating areas to 'de-boot' so no excuses for ant muddy footprints inside the property. You then find yourself in a lobby area.
This area can be isolated from the rest of the property if required. This allows for bedroom 5 to have access to the second of two bathrooms and also there is a door in bedroom 5 that leads into the kitchen. Of course, if you do not want a 5th bedroom, this room would make a superb home office.
As you exit the lobby area you can either go right to where the 4 remaining bedrooms are or left into the lounge.
The Lounge is large (over 22 sq m or 237 sq ft) It has fitted carpet and large sliding doors that lead into the large beautiful garden. This is a fabulous family living space. A door leads into the extended area which is currently used as the dining room.
The Dining Room has a large skylight which allows lots of natural light. With its nice tiled floor and double patio doors leading into the garden, it definitely has a conservatory feel about it. It is spacious and the six seater dining table and chairs is testimony to this. This room is open plan on one end with the kitchen / utility room.
The Kitchen Utility Room is 'T' shaped, open plan and large, and has been cleverly designed. The kitchen part is large and fully fitted and there is even enough space for a small table and chairs. The focal point is a smashing (brand new) full size range oven.
With 4 cavities to choose from, including 2 ovens, a grill and a storage compartment, you'll always have plenty of options at mealtimes. The main fan oven is ideal if you enjoy batch baking, as air is circulated inside to cook food evenly on every shelf. This model also has a second electric fan oven, giving you the freedom to cook more at once. You'll have lots of room to boil, steam and fry too, thanks to the 5 zone ceramic hob, which looks great as well as being simple to clean.
There are cupboards and draws a plenty and nice work tops. The floor is tastefully tiled throughout the kitchen and utility areas.
The Utility area is also large with a stainless steel sink and drainer, work tops, more cupboards and a washing machine. It also houses a large fridge freezer. There is a large window that overlooks the front of the property and of course as previously mentioned, a door that leads into bedroom 5 / Home Office.
In the kitchen area there are two doors. One leads to the outside of the front of the property and the other into the garage. The Garage is large and has an electronic remote door, so with the connecting door to the kitchen, it is so handy for unloading shopping or simply not getting wet or cold etc.
Tasking you back to the lobby area, we can now access the 4 bedrooms. The first bedroom you come to is bedroom 4, followed by 3, 2, and then at the end of the long hall/ corridor you find bedroom 1. A fantastic unique feature of this property is that these 4 bedrooms all overlook the fabulous garden. They all have a super large window, so extremely well lit. All the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and fitted carpets. Finally, in the hallway is the family bathroom. This consists of a bathtub with overhead electric shower, WC and wash basin.
The rear garden is large. The current owners have worked tirelessly in making this space into a beautiful garden.
There is a beautiful patio area and a large paved area that are both laid with wonderful porcelain slabs. They are 'flanked' by flower beds that in the Spring & Summer burst into a plethora of colours and scents. At the bottom of the garden is the good size vegetable garden. It has to be mentioned (and we have seen photographic evidence), that the soil is of a high standard and the size of the vegetables is simply amazing. There is also room for a large trampoline. As open spaces go, this is a fantastic one!
The front of the property is on two levels. There is a large area laid to gravel large enough for 2 cars, and then there are steps down to the path that gives access to both front doors.
In conclusion, what do we have?
We have a 4/5 bedroom family bungalow in a quiet cul de sac, and yet is just 0.5 miles from the Town Centre and Princess Alexander Hospital. It is 0.25 miles from and Oftsed rated 'Outstanding' school, and is just 1.25 miles from Harlow Town Station. In fact, we cannot think of anywhere quieter than this location that is so closed to Town, Hospital & Station. Its large lounge and large garden and off road parking just add to it's appeal. Yes its lay out is unique and a tad quirky BUT it all adds to its charm and appeal!
