This three-bedroom mid-terrace in The Downs offers roomy accommodation across two reception rooms and a conservatory, ideal for growing families or those needing separate living and dining spaces. The property benefits from a practical layout and reasonable overall size, with a compact rear garden for outdoor space and potential to enhance kerb appeal.
Location is a strong selling point: the house is within walking distance of Harlow town centre and the train station, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for commuters and home-workers. There is potential to create off-street parking subject to planning permission (STPP), which would add convenient parking and value in this area where on-street parking is the norm.
The home is presented in a mid-20th-century style and will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Finishes are dated in places and there is clear scope for refurbishment throughout — a blank canvas for new kitchens, bathrooms and cosmetic updating. Buyers should factor renovation time and costs into any offer.
Practical considerations: the area rates as deprived with above-average local crime statistics, and the plot is small with limited outdoor space. Positively, council tax is affordable and local schools and amenities are within easy reach, giving this property strong rental and family appeal for those willing to invest in improvement.
