Summary - 128 THE HORNBEAMS HARLOW CM20 1PH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal commuter flat minutes from station and town centre.
Compact 409 sq ft one-bedroom flat, efficient layout
This compact, chain-free first-floor flat sits in The Hornbeams, a convenient pocket of Harlow close to Harlow Town station, the town centre and Princess Alexandra Hospital. At about 409 sq ft the layout is economical: open-plan lounge/kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom — a straightforward pick for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking immediate rental potential.
The flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining, a modest ground rent and a below-average service charge (£675). Heating is by mains gas boiler to radiators and the property benefits from double glazing. On-street parking and simple, low-maintenance external communal spaces keep running costs and outside upkeep straightforward.
Condition is basic and the accommodation is small, so buyers should expect some updating to personalise or maximise rent. There is no private garden and the property sits in an area with above-average recorded crime, which may influence tenant demand or resale pricing. Council tax is described as very cheap, and broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful practical advantages for commuters and renters.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance entry into the Harlow market: chain free for a quick move or purchase, close to transport links and local amenities, but suited to buyers comfortable with a compact footprint and an 89-year lease. A survey and leasepack checks are recommended before committing.
