Summary - Oak Cottage, Foster Street CM17 9HX
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming two-bed cottage with large gardens and parking on Harlow outskirts.
Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms
Set on the outskirts of Harlow, this semi-detached Victorian cottage offers a compact, easy-to-manage home with genuine outside space. The property provides two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a fitted kitchen across 628 sq ft, with large front and rear gardens and off-street parking — a rare combination for this price band.
Practical features include oil-fired central heating, UPVC double glazing (installed before 2002) and a traditional layout that will suit first-time buyers or those looking to downsize. The long rear garden (approx. 20m) and sizeable front lawn offer scope for landscaping, a home office pod, or extension subject to checks and permissions.
Buyers should note key conservation and running-cost points: the house is timber-framed with assumed minimal cavity insulation, the EPC is rated E and heating runs from an oil boiler. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the local crime level is recorded as high — factors to consider if remote working or security are priorities. The property is currently let; viewings are strictly by appointment.
Offered freehold with straightforward access to junctions 7 and 7a of the M11, this cottage suits a buyer prepared to make energy-efficiency improvements and personalise a characterful, period home in a semi-rural setting.
