Summary - 199 SHAWBRIDGE HARLOW CM19 4NT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable one-bedroom flat — good links and low service charges, ideal first-time buy or rental.
One-bedroom first-floor flat, approx. 460 sq ft
A compact first-floor, one-bedroom flat (approx. 460 sq ft) positioned within walking distance of Staple Tye shopping centre, medical centre and local bus routes. The flat has gas central heating and an open-plan feel that will suit a single buyer or couple seeking an affordable entry into the market or a simple buy-to-let.
Practical positives include low service charges (£480 pa), a longish lease (88 years remaining) and easy access to the M11/A414. There is a small rear garden plus communal outdoor space and on-street parking; local amenities and multiple schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the property is leasehold, constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, and the listing data shows single glazing. The area scores as deprived with average local crime levels; this may affect resale or rental yields. The flat is described as average-sized and will likely need cosmetic updating and insulation improvement to reduce running costs.
This is a pragmatic purchase for a first-time buyer wanting a low-cost starter home or an investor seeking a lettable one-bed with immediate rental potential. Factor in basic refurbishment costs and checks on leasepack fees, service charge details and any required servicing of heating and electrics before agreeing an offer.
