This compact one-bedroom seventh-floor flat in The Lawn, Harlow, offers a chain-free purchase with a long, extended lease (approx. 181 years). The open-plan lounge/kitchen leads to a small balcony and benefits from lift access and a garage — practical extras that suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a straightforward entry to the market.
Internally the apartment is tidy and functional: double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, laminate floors and a fitted kitchen with gas hob. The room sizes are modest (approx. 398 sq ft total), so the layout works best for single occupancy or a couple. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local schools and Harlow town centre are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property is small, constructed in the 1950–66 period with system-built walls that likely lack cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. Crime levels in the immediate area are very high — an important consideration for families or buyers sensitive to neighbourhood security. Council tax and ground rent are low, but additional leasehold admin fees may apply.
With some cosmetic updating and insulation improvements, this flat offers immediate rental potential or an affordable home base close to transport links. It’s best suited to buyers comfortable with modest space and who value convenience and long lease security over large living areas.
