Summary - 49 DADS WOOD HARLOW CM20 1JG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-entry, long-lease apartment near shops and transport — ideal first purchase.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment, approximately 410 sq ft
A compact, chain-free one-bedroom apartment in Dads Wood, positioned for convenient town-centre living. At about 410 sq ft, the flat is best suited to a single buyer or couple seeking a low-entry purchase or a buy-to-let close to transport links and local shops. The long lease (161 years) and low ground rent exposure reduce future cost uncertainty.
The apartment is practical and immediately habitable though not recently modernised — the living room and kitchen show a dated 1980s style and will benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property runs on mains electricity; this can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Location is the apartment’s main strength: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, off-street parking and immediate access to Harlow town centre amenities and bus/rail links. The area is undergoing substantial town-centre regeneration, which may support future resale or rental demand. Nearby schools include an Outstanding-rated primary, and multiple secondary options.
Be candid about local context: the neighbourhood is classified as constrained and the area records higher crime levels and higher deprivation than average. Buyers and investors should weigh the strong transport and retail convenience against these local social indicators and the need for some internal modernisation.
