Chain-free first-floor flat in Hornbeams, Harlow, offered with immediate possession and a practical layout across roughly 689 sq ft. The apartment sits close to the town centre, train station and Princess Alexandra Hospital — convenient for commuters, healthcare staff and shoppers. The living room is bright with large windows and laminate flooring; two bedrooms provide flexible space for a small family or sharers.
The property requires renovation internally, so it will suit a buyer prepared to modernise rather than someone seeking a turnkey home. Service charge and ground rent are low (c. £74 pcm and £10 pa respectively), and permit/off-street parking is available. Tenure is leasehold with long remaining term reported (sources vary: c. 89–108 years remaining) — check precise lease details before offer.
Practical negatives to note: the block dates from the mid‑20th century and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy upgrades may be needed. Crime levels in the area are above average. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local schools include several rated Good, making the location sensible for first-time buyers or investors seeking a rental in a well-connected town.
Overall, this is a value-led purchase: a spacious, well-located flat offering clear scope for uplift through refurbishment. Early viewing is recommended for buyers who want a renovation project near Harlow’s amenities and transport links.
