Description
**offers over £200,000** Jukes Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this very well-presented 2-bedroom first-floor flat in Aylets Field in the popular Staple Tye area of Harlow. For sale by way of a Conditional Sale*.
This cracking 2 bedroom first floor flat has been the current owners home for the last few years. As much as they loved it when they bought it and as much as they still love now, the time has come for them to move up the property ladder which means this is a golden opportunity for first time buyers or people looking to downsize to make this their home.
Offered as a chain free property, the flat is in excellent condition and has a fairly new fully fitted kitchen and bathroom which means this is a 'move in do nothing' property which is always a massive bonus.
The property benefits from a large lounge / diner, a large double bedroom with walk in wardrobe space and a good size second bedroom which is either a small double or larger single bedroom. The property also has a lovely entrance hall.
The current owners have put removable frosted film on the windows at the front of the property for extra privacy but this can easily be removed if the new owners wanted.
There is a security entrance system and one allocated parking space. However, there are lots of visitor parking spaces for two car families and for when friends and family visit.
Aylets Field is a quiet part of Harlow and is also geographically located in an ideal spot for all major amenities.
Lister House Medical & Dental centre is just 0.7 miles away.
Ofsted rated good primary schools are less than 0.3 miles away while secondary schools are just 0.4 miles away.
Staple Tye shopping centre is just 0.5 miles away. Aylets Field has great links to the M11, and Harlow Town Centre, Harlow Railway Station & Princess Alexandra Hospital are all easily accessible.
So we have a cracking flat that is close to all major amenities. But what is living in Harlow actually like?
Living in Harlow: A Family-Friendly Town with a Community Feel
Located in the west of Essex, just 30 miles north of London, Harlow offers a unique blend of urban convenience and countryside charm. With excellent transport links, a wealth of green spaces, and a strong sense of community, it's an increasingly popular choice for families looking to settle somewhere that balances modern living with a relaxed pace of life.
A Town Built for Families
Harlow was one of the original post-war New Towns, designed with families in mind. The town's layout includes neighbourhoods centred around community hubs, making it easy to access local amenities without needing to travel far. Housing ranges from post-war terraces and maisonettes to newer developments, offering something to suit most budgets and preferences.
The town is home to a variety of primary and secondary schools, several of which are rated "Good" or "Outstanding" by Ofsted. Harlow College is a well-regarded institution offering further education and vocational training, and the nearby Anglia Ruskin University campus provides higher education opportunities.
Excellent Amenities
Harlow boasts a wide array of amenities that make day-to-day life convenient and enjoyable. The Harvey Centre and Water Gardens are the main shopping areas, featuring a mix of high street names, independent retailers, restaurants, and cafés. There are also several retail parks on the outskirts of town, ideal for weekend errands or larger shopping trips.
For healthcare, residents benefit from the services provided by Princess Alexandra Hospital and numerous gp surgeries and dental practices throughout the town.
Transport links are another strong point. Harlow is served by two railway stations - Harlow Town and Harlow Mill - offering regular services to London Liverpool Street in under 40 minutes. For drivers, the M11 motorway and A414 provide direct routes to London, Cambridge, and the wider Essex area. Stansted Airport is also just a 20-minute drive away, perfect for family holidays.
Weekend Activities and Green Spaces
One of Harlow's standout features is its abundance of green space. The town has over 100 public parks and open areas, with the sprawling Harlow Town Park being the jewel in the crown. Covering 164 acres, the park includes a petting zoo, paddling pool, skate park, adventure playground, and walled gardens, making it a perfect spot for a family day out.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the River Stort and nearby Epping Forest offer lovely walking and cycling routes. The Gibberd Garden, a beautifully landscaped space filled with sculptures, is another gem for a quiet weekend escape.
Harlow Leisurezone is a state-of-the-art sports complex offering a swimming pool, gym, climbing wall, and various fitness classes - great for both kids and adults. The town is also home to numerous sports clubs, from football and rugby to martial arts and gymnastics.
Arts, Culture and Community
Culture lovers can enjoy the Harlow Playhouse, which hosts a variety of performances from theatre and comedy to dance and music. The town also has a proud tradition of public art, with over 100 sculptures dotted around the streets, including works by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
Harlow's community spirit shines through in its regular events and local initiatives. Seasonal fairs, farmers' markets, and family festivals create a vibrant calendar of activities throughout the year. Libraries, community centres, and faith groups add further social cohesion and opportunities to connect.
Final Thoughts
Living in Harlow offers the best of both worlds: Access to the capital and other major cities, along with a safe, welcoming environment where families can thrive. With its wide range of amenities, strong schools, and wealth of weekend activities, Harlow is more than just a commuter town - it's a community where families can build a happy and fulfilling life.
