This ground-floor one/two-bedroom flat in Moorfield, Harlow offers an affordable, chain-free entry into the local market. The open-plan lounge/diner with an adjoining kitchen creates a practical living space, and an additional reception room could serve as a second bedroom or home office. The building includes private parking, and local shops, schools and bus links at Staple Tye are within easy reach.
The flat is compact (c.506 sq ft) and sits in a mid‑20th‑century brick block with double glazing and gas central heating. Service charge is reasonable at about £1,200 per year and council tax is low, helping keep running costs down. Broadband and mobile signals are reported as strong, which will suit commuters and those working from home.
There are important drawbacks to note: the lease has only 83 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage options and will need renewing sooner rather than later. The building’s construction dates and assumed lack of cavity wall insulation suggest potential energy efficiency improvements may be required. Some parts of the interior and kitchen show wear and would benefit from updating.
This property will suit a cash buyer, a buyer prepared to manage a lease extension, or an investor seeking a low‑entry flat in Harlow. It’s a straightforward, practical home with clear potential for modest refurbishment to raise comfort and value, but buyers should factor in the lease length and likely upgrade costs before proceeding.
