The property itself will tick lots of boxes for everyone viewing it, of that there is no doubt!
I am 'bucking the trend' when describing this beautiful family home because I am starting with the outside of the property.
Why?
Because sometimes the front and rear external features get lost in property descriptions as everyone (understandably) wants to read about the kitchen, the lounge etc. I will get to them later, but for now, the outside!
Firstly, this property has bundles of 'kerb appeal'.
Secondly, it has off street parking for several cars.
Thirdly, it has a large garage at the end of the drive.
The garage is extra long & therefore has a shed / workshop space at the rear.
Next, the garage is also accessible by a side door.
Finally it has a large 120ft beautiful rear garden.
The garden which is reasonably low maintenance, is laid mainly to lawn with some established trees, shrubs & flower beds. It also benefits from a summerhouse at the bottom of the garden. For keen horticulturists, this larger green space could be considered a blank canvas and could be landscaped into something really special!
Inside this impressive property we will start with the kitchen / breakfast room.
It is an impressive size and whilst a new owner may want to replace it with a new one, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the existing one. It is fully functional and of a high standard. There is a multitude of cupboard and drawer space as well as lots of worktop space. There is a lovely tiled floor and excellent down lighting. There is a side door that opens onto the drive & large double doors that open onto the impressive garden.
The current owners have a modest 4 seater table & chairs in the breakfast area. It is an excellent space!
The lounge / diner is also a good space and the current owners have put in a large bay window which has become a feature point of this lovely room. There is a nice wooden floor and once again, as with the kitchen, there is down lighting.
There is a nice size entrance hall with access to all downstairs rooms as well as the staircase.
Upstairs we have 3 bedrooms. 2 are good size doubles and the third a good size single.
The largest bedroom has lovely fitted bedroom furniture. the second bedroom benefits from a large fitted wardrobe and the single bedroom has a complete integrated bedroom suite which has been cleverly designed to maximise storage space that is so often not possible in a single bedroom (very clever)!
The family bathroom consists of a 'P' shaped bathtub, shower, wash basin, heated towel rail & WC. It is fully tiled and has dual aspect privacy windows.
So there we have it. It's a cracking property in a superb location. We do not see this property hanging around for too long. However..
What is it like living in Waterhouse Moor & indeed, Harlow?
