Summary - 162 BARN MEAD HARLOW CM18 6SR
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Low-maintenance studio with fast broadband and buy-to-let potential near local amenities.
Approx. 315 sq ft studio — efficient, single-occupant layout
Compact first-floor studio in Barn Mead offering low-maintenance living or straightforward buy-to-let potential. The 315 sq ft layout includes an open-plan bed/sitting room, a small separate kitchen and a functional bathroom — efficient space for a single occupant or couple.
Key practical benefits include gas central heating with radiators, double glazing fitted after 2002, fast broadband and affordable council tax. The building sits in a mature suburban setting with a small communal lawn and on-street/communal parking nearby. Local shops, parks, bus links and primary/secondary schools are within easy reach.
Important factual points: the flat is leasehold with approximately 89 years remaining, a service charge of £831 (period 01/04/2025–31/03/2026) and an annual ground rent of £10. The total accommodation is very small and would benefit from modest cosmetic updating to maximise rental income or resale value. The wider area is classed as multi-ethnic with signs of economic hardship; this may affect long-term demand and yield expectations.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-cost entry property for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact home or a simple rental unit. Buyers should factor in the limited living space, lease length and communal charges when assessing suitability.
