I love describing property. Sometimes, there isn't much to say and then, along comes a property like this.
If you have never looked at the images and were blindfolded and dropped off outside and asked: "What do you think this property is"? You would probably say 'it's a 1 or 2 bedroom bungalow with a garage isn't it?'
You would be so wrong!
This property is a mystery house, its a conundrum.
It's a Tardis and it's a beauty.
I have come across owners who do not like me using the word 'Quirky' when describing their home. However, I believe this is 'Quirky'. It is also beautiful and in immaculate condition throughout.
So this 3 bedroom end of terrace property is different.
You enter the property via the front door which is on street level. On this floor we find the three double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The entrance hall is a good size and lends itself to be furnished (which is currently is).
The bedrooms are all genuine doubles with the largest two being very large.
The family bathroom is beautiful and has a large walk in shower, WC & wash basin with integrated furniture. It has beautifully tiled walls and flooring.
The integrated garage is also accessed form the hallway which is extremely handy. It has the added benefit of an electric door.
And so we venture downstairs to where we find the large lounge / diner, the gorgeous kitchen, the sun room / conservatory and the 'Jewel in the Crown', the amazing tiered garden with a hot tub room.
The lounge / diner is over 200 sq ft and therefore is extremely spacious for both the living area and dining area.
The kitchen in this impressive property is beautiful. Fully fitted with all the usual appliances. There are cupboards and drawers aplenty, lovely worktops, beautifully tiles splash backs and flooring, There is also an impressive feature wall with exceptional wallpaper.
The Sun Room / Conservatory is a good size and is heated and therefore you can use this fab room all year long, and you really will want to as it overlooks the fantastic tiered garden that the current owners have created.
Sometimes, when a garden is special, I will write about it early in the description. However, with this one, I have held it back as it is the finale that this property deserves.
This garden is on three levels. All levels are fully decked and therefore this large garden not only looks wonderful, it is low maintenance.
Level One: Accessed via the kitchen or the sun room, this level wraps itself around the conservatory and provides a fabulous patio area that overlooks the two levels below. There is also a lovely pergola with lighting.
Level Two: The current owners have a gorgeous raised koi pond with beautiful fish plus you get the added bonus of the soothing sound of the waterfall. There is a garden shed and the owners have adorned this level with lovely patio tubs full of shrubs and flowers. They also have all there BBQ equipment on this level and there is plenty of room for garden furniture if required.
Level Three: The final level not only houses a greenhouse, it houses the fabulous Hot Tub room (although it is actually accessed via level two. Hot Tubs are great, but when they are actually inside a room they are even better as you can use it 365 days a year regardless of weather. It is worth looking at the images we have provided to get a real feel of how private this garden is and how wonderful it is.
Outside the front of the property, there is enough space for 3/3 cars and street parking is also extremely easy.
Morningtons is one of the most sort after streets in not only CM19 but in all of Harlow and this property is simple superb!
Is it going to float everyone's boat? No of course not but, it is going to float a lot of boats because of its quirkiness and beauty.
