4 bedroom detached for sale

**GUIDE PRICE 825,000 - 875,000** Jukes Estate Agents are extremely proud to bring to market this 'simply outstanding' 4 bedroom 3 bathroom extremely large detached family home in the hidden jewel that is Hilly Field Harlow. For sale by way of a conditional sale.* If you are looking for a light, luxurious and intelligent home you and your family can thrive within, I suggest you make a cup of tea or coffee and settle down and imbibe this property. Hilly Field is one of Harlow's best kept secrets. A hidden gem! A lovely cul-de-sac with 27 lovely detached properties and attentive neighbours. The area is quiet and of course, being a cul-de-sac means that there's no through traffic which lends to its appeal and ensures privacy and safety to all. This newly rebuilt (in 2019) property stands out amongst the large properties that make up Hilly Field. It is the largest and most modern. Coming in at 2,625 sq ft (243 sq m), it is over three times the size of an average Harlow property. Whilst there is absolutely nothing wrong with Harlow, you would never believe you were in Harlow when you are inside (or indeed outside) this impressive family home. So, this is my job to guide you through the property to the best of my ability so that the attached images and video link make perfect sense when you view them in amazement. The block paved drive of this property is large enough for 4/5 cars; and there is ample additional street parking. The entrance hall is spacious (a word you will hear a lot of) and is an integral part of the open plan ground floor of this amazing property. At this early stage, it is worth mentioning that the flooring in the entrance hall, the downstairs cloakroom, the dining area, the kitchen and the lounge area is all high grade wood effect porcelain flooring that is simply divine. It is also worth noting that the entire ground floor has underfloor heating that is zoned and computer controlled. Back to the entrance hall, and it makes me smile, but smile with admiration when someone actually bothers with space saving when you have a 2,600 sq ft house. Under the stairwell in the entrance hall, the owner has cleverly crafted a sofa/bench style seating with shoe drawers and extra storage space. The attendant book cases can be adorned with art, sculpture, or books to suit. This is such a refreshing change from the usual "cupboard" that ends up full of clutter! There is another 'cubby hole' just before you enter the main family living & eating area and this contains a 'dry bar' area with a large wine cooler (staying) with bespoke cupboards. Again, a clever use of space. On the left you have a large utility area/wet room. We actually sell property with smaller kitchens than this! There is a fully fitted stainless steel sink along with washing machine & tumble dryer. There is also a door that leads to the outside. This area can also be accessed from the front of the property by way of the first of two sets of double garage doors. The furthest set of doors to the left as you look at the property leads to a carport area which is wide enough for a car and runs the entire depth of the property. From the utility area there is another door that leads to the garage. The owner has made this into a workshop and storage for his vintage motorbikes and scooter. It has a beautifully tiled floor and ample electric points. It's a real 'man cave' and its great! Ok, I have kept you waiting long enough!
The downstairs cloakroom is a room that I would normally just say: "Has a WC & hand basin with tiled flooring." However, I want to tell you a little more about the smallest room in the house...
This is the most delightful downstairs cloakroom I have ever seen! The decor is simply stunning. Half tiled walls with fabulous brick shaped mirror tiles that not only look good but they work so well with the wall mounted 'flush' mechanism of the WC. The wall paper is unbelievably beautiful and compliments the tiled walls superbly. The WC is wall mounted and sits off the floor and the hand basin is ultra modern & they are both made of porcelain. There is the 'funkiest' of heated towel rails, and of course the light is gorgeous! Once again, as downstairs cloakrooms go, this one is up there with the very best.
We now go back to the main event. This property has an open plan eating / cooking / living area to die for, and just as a tease, I think there is better to come but for now let's get back to this 94.51 sq m (1,017 sq ft) family hub. Yes! You read those sizes correctly. The dining area currently houses a large 6 seater dining table although you could easily fit a larger one in. Above the dining table is a large gorgeous lantern that allows in oodles of natural light. There are east-facing bi-fold doors that integrate the rear garden masterfully. The triangulated living area (dining room, kitchen, and living room) all integrate to become an enormous open expanse. The front-facing living area is massive and has a large window that overlooks the front of the property which is sensibly protected by mature manicured Laurels. Wannabe (or already qualified) interior designers could have a field day with this space; and yet the minimalistic look the current owner has gone for works exceptionally well. The kitchen area is magnificent. There are more cupboards and drawers than you can throw a stick at, and the double thick work surfaces will satisfy a chef of any standard. There is a full size rangemaster gas oven that has 4 compartments and a 6-ring hob. It's absolutely gorgeous. There is a dishwasher within arm's reach of the 1.5 sink and immediate views through a large window into the expansive rear garden. There are twin Neff ovens plus a bread warmer. There is a full length fridge and a full length freezer. There is a large island (containing electrics) with built in breakfast bar and seating (for two) along with even more cupboard and drawer space opposite. Above the island are three gorgeous lights, which along with the dimmable inset downlighting makes this kitchen amongst the best I have ever seen. Add in the fact that it is a part of this open plan eating / cooking / living area and you have well over 1,000 square feet of absolute gorgeousness! Again, I have written up descriptions on many high end properties in my time and this 'family hub area' is definitely up there with the very best. Just awesome! The rear garden is approx. 307 sq m (3,305 sq ft). There is a 'cracking' patio area (the entire width of the property) that is simply yet lovely. Family BBQ's and alfresco dining areas are always a great addition to a property, and this one is wonderfully functional. With those bi-fold doors (extending half the width of the property) open on warmer days, wonderful gatherings can be enjoyed to the full! The rest of the garden is laid mainly to lawn and has mature 10 foot Laurels at the back which lends to the privacy. Cherry trees and Magnolias lend decadence and charm to the rear of the garden, while younger shrubs and ample garden runs fill out the margins. There are side gates on both sides of the house and exterior electricity intelligently located. The owner even plumbed a gas outlet for a smoker / BBQ.
Upstairs we go. Here we find the 4 bedrooms and family bathroom.
The master bedroom in this exquisite property is as you might expect, 'Spectacular'! Why? Well here goes...
First, it is extremely large.
Secondly, it has been designed superbly.
Finally, it is absolutely amazingly beautiful!
The sleeping area is almost 27 sq m (289 sq ft). There is extra large sliding doors with a glass Juliet balcony that lets in bundles of natural light as well as allowing for an immense amount of fresh air (especially on those hot balmy nights), and allows lovely views over the rear garden. Once again here the owner has gone for quite a minimalistic look which once again works superbly well. However, the large space means that so many other interior plans could easily be implemented here. The themes are endless.
Next we have the 'walk in' his/hers wardrobes / dressing area. This super addition comes in at almost 18 sq m (almost 200 sq ft).
When being designed, the detail the owner has gone to is amazing. He has even built in a jewellery display.
Now, if the extra large sleeping area & extra large walk in wardrobe / dressing area wasn't enough, then would would perhaps expect an en suite? Well you would wouldn't you!
What you perhaps wouldn't expect is an en suite of some 14 sq m (150 sq ft). Also, you perhaps wouldn't expect to find an en suite as beautiful as this.
Where to begin?
The focal point is no doubt the wonderful free standing oval porcelain bathtub. Indeed, the current owner points out that the master bedroom suite is linearly staged with a focus on the articulated bathtub that is naturally lit by diffused light windows. This gorgeous bathtub has a floor mounted fabulous mixer tap with shower wand.
There is a walk in shower that looks large enough to hold a party in! It has a ceiling mounted large shower head as well as a wall mounted adjustable one. The shower controls have been chased into to wall and therefore the controls look superb. There are Jack & Jill washbasins with integrated furniture. Above each washbasin station are gorgeous ceiling suspended lights that add that extra touch of luxury and beauty.
The WC is again wall mounted and off the floor. This WC also incorporates a bidet. Earlier I described the heated towel rail in the downstairs cloakroom room as the 'funkiest' of heated towel rails. I now take that back and will say it is 'one of' the funkiest heated towel rails as the one in the master en suite tops it! Stunning!
The floor and wall tiles here are porcelain & splendid and along with the subtle downlights finish off what is simply an amazing en suite.
So there we have it. A master bedroom suite some 58.5 sq m (630 sq ft) (we have just put a one bedroom flat on the market that is 38 sq m in total) that is not a 10/10 space. It is a 12/10 masterpiece!
Bedroom 2 is a large double bedroom with two windows overlooking the front of the property. This bedroom also benefits from a lovely en suite which consists of a walk in shower, WC & wash basin. It has downlighting and a beautiful tiled floor. The bedroom has a high grade fitted carpet.
Bedroom 3 has an extra large window that overlooks the rear of the property. This bedroom also has a high grade fitted carpet.
Bedroom 4 is the smallest of the bedrooms and has a fitted carpet, a large window overlooking the rear of the property. Currently used as a home office, this smallest of the 4 bedrooms is delightful.
The family bathroom is as you would by now expect, superb!
There is a bathtub with overhead shower, Jack & Jill wash basins with integrated furniture. The WC is once again wall mounted and therefore set off of the floor. The flooring is beautiful porcelain tiles with underfloor heating. The feature of this family bathroom is the gorgeous blue tiled wall with cleverly designed recess for toiletries etc. As family bathrooms go, this is an absolute winner!
I hope you have enjoyed my description of the amazing property.
I have tried to be as accurate as I possibly can. For the current owner it is time to move to pastures new. He has transformed this property over the last 7 years from what was a lovely 4 bedroom detached property into the gem that it is today. This property is going to make an absolutely fabulous large family home for the new owners. However, as lovely as the property is, it is equally important to find out about Hilly Field, Harlow and the surrounding areas. Geographically Hilly Field is ideally placed and is within easy reach of all main and important local amenities. Therefore:
Primary school (Ofsted rated good) 0.08 miles away.
Secondary school (Ofsted rated good) 0.78 miles away.
Stansted airport 6.59 miles away.
M11 Junction 7 2.3 miles away.
Harlow Town Railway Station 2.38 miles away.
Epping Tube Station (Central line) 3.77 miles away.
Harlow Town Centre 1.9 miles away.
Princess Alexandra Hospital 1.98 miles away.
GP Surgery 0.53 miles away.
Dentist 0.61 miles away.
The property has a carbon footprint of 1457 gCO2/kWh which is moderate.
The property receives ultra fast broadband and a very good signal for all major mobile networks.
The air quality is 2 where 1 is the best and 10 the worse.
