Chain-free three-bedroom cottage near Old Harlow High Street and station.
Chain free three-bedroom period semi-detached cottage
A period three-bedroom semi-detached cottage in the heart of Old Harlow, this chain-free home sits within easy walking distance of the High Street and Harlow Mill station. The house retains traditional character with a gabled brick façade, chimney and a white picket front; a side and rear garden provide private outdoor space and scope for planting or play.
The property is compact (approximately 739 sq ft) with a lounge, kitchen, ground-floor WC, first-floor bathroom and three bedrooms. It offers clear potential to extend and create off-street parking, subject to planning permission (STPP), making it appealing for growing families or buyers seeking added value. EPC rating D and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) should be noted.
Occupying a decent plot in an affluent, low-crime area, the house would suit buyers wanting a period home near local schools, shops and transport links. Practical drawbacks: limited living space, a single bathroom, and likely retrofit work (insulation/upgrades) — expect modernization and possible planning work if extending or adding parking. Potential rental income is estimated at around £1,600pcm for investors considering buy-to-let.
This property will best suit purchasers prepared to carry out improvement works to unlock wider living space and parking, or first-time buyers and families seeking a character home in a convenient Old Harlow location.
