4 bedroom House - Detached (Available)
Overview
A stylish detached family home, substantially larger than many in the area, with superb views over adjacent wheat fields and woodland, yet close to excellent local schools and transport links. (Property Ref: BLACKCAP)
Overall Description
This stylish, modern family home sits in arguably the most enviable location within the Newhall development and enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, most notably from the large balcony from the master bedroom. Having no properties directly in front, just woodland and fields, does give this house a wonderfully rural feel, despite the fact that it is very conveniently positioned for local schools and other amenities. Not only that, but it is the largest style of house in Newhall, with a massive 2,228 square feet of internal space including the garage, more than 500 square feet larger than similar looking detached houses in the area. The high-vaulted entrance hall certainly has the "wow" factor and the rest of this impressive detached family home doesn't disappoint. Upstairs there is a large master bedroom suite with dressing room, en-suite shower room and superb balcony, a great place to enjoy the beautiful views. There are three more double bedrooms, a second en-suite and a good-sized family bathroom. Downstairs there is a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with French doors out to the garden, a large sitting room, play room/home office and downstairs cloakroom. The owners have had the back garden tastefully landscaped and it is now the perfect place to entertain or just enjoy outdoor living with the family. There is a detached double-garage, part of which is currently used as a gym, as well as a driveway with space for two cars.

Location
The property is situated in arguably the best position within this award winning development in Newhall, in the south east corner, so with no houses opposite, just lovely views over the neighbouring wheat fields and woodland. It is the perfect location for active families, as you have direct access to footpaths across open farmland as well as the many cycle-tracks that were installed as part of this cutting-edge housing project. However, it is also easily accessible to local road and rail links, giving busy professional families that need to commute, the best of both worlds. The M11 is just a short drive away, providing quick access to the M25 (London to the south and Cambridge to the north). Harlow railway station provides regular fast trains to London Liverpool Street (from 30 mins). There is a local supermarket (The Foodstore Newhall) as well as the New Ground Cafe, both around a five minutes walk away, with many more shops, supermarkets and other amenities in Harlow town centre. There are good schools in the area and both Newhall Primary Academy and Smiles Montessori Newhall are both within walking distance. The wider Harlow area has a wide range of sporting and outdoor activities so is an ideal place for active families that love outdoor living.
