four-bedroom family home | approx. 1,232 sq ft | large residents' communal garden | private rear garden | conservatory | ground-floor WC | excellent local schools | superb bus & commuter links

A remarkably spacious four-bedroom family home occupying a convenient position within the established and popular Milwards area of Harlow. Offering approximately 1,232 sq ft of internal accommodation, four genuine bedrooms, a substantial reception room, generous kitchen, conservatory, ground-floor cloakroom, excellent storage and its own private rear garden, the property also enjoys a particularly unusual additional benefit - a large communal garden immediately in front of the terrace for residents to enjoy.

For families looking for space, practicality and access to schools, transport and everyday amenities, this is a home with an enormous amount to offer.

Perhaps most striking is the sense of openness surrounding the property. Rather than simply looking onto another row of houses or a conventional roadway, residents have the benefit of a large shared communal garden area, visible clearly from the accompanying photographs. Established planting, mature shrubs, trees and open areas create a wonderfully green environment and give residents an additional outdoor space beyond their own private gardens.

It is a feature that helps distinguish this particular part of Milwards and could prove especially attractive to families who value being surrounded by greenery.
The accommodation


According to the floorplan, the property provides approximately 114.5 sq m / 1,232 sq ft of internal accommodation, making it considerably larger than many buyers may initially expect from its external appearance.

The front door opens into an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the principal ground-floor rooms.

A particularly useful ground-floor WC sits just inside the entrance - an increasingly important feature for a busy family home and particularly convenient when entertaining guests or when children are coming in from outside.
Generous reception room


The main reception room is an impressive 16'10" x 12'2" (5.13m x 3.71m).

Its excellent dimensions allow plenty of room for substantial sofas and associated furniture without compromising the feeling of space. As the photographs demonstrate, even with a large corner suite, workstation, television and additional furniture in place, the room remains generously proportioned.

For a family, this is exactly what a main living room should be - somewhere everyone can gather comfortably, whether watching television, entertaining friends or simply relaxing at the end of the day.

The scale of the room also means a future owner has plenty of freedom to redecorate and configure the accommodation to suit their own style.
Kitchen / dining space


To the rear is the substantial kitchen, measuring approximately 14'6" x 11'0" (4.42m x 3.35m).

Again, the proportions are particularly useful. There is extensive storage and worktop space together with ample room for a family dining table, allowing the room to operate as a genuine kitchen/breakfast or kitchen/dining space rather than simply somewhere to prepare food.

The kitchen currently offers an excellent amount of functionality while also presenting a future purchaser with the opportunity, if desired, to introduce their own contemporary design and create a superb modern family kitchen.

An opening at the rear provides a visual connection into the conservatory beyond.
Conservatory


The conservatory measures approximately 11'4" x 7'8" (3.45m x 2.34m) and represents a valuable addition to the ground-floor accommodation.

Glazing on several sides brings plenty of natural light into the space, while doors open directly onto the private garden.

Depending upon individual requirements, this could work as a secondary sitting room, children's playroom, hobby area, breakfast room, utility-style space or somewhere to sit and enjoy the garden.

The ground floor also incorporates excellent additional storage areas, another practical advantage that should not be underestimated in a four-bedroom family home.
Four bedrooms


One of this property's strongest selling points becomes apparent on reaching the first floor: There really are four usable bedrooms.

Rather than creating four bedrooms by heavily compromising the principal rooms, the layout retains two particularly impressive doubles together with two additional bedrooms.
Bedroom one


The first of the two principal bedrooms measures approximately 12'2" x 11'1" (3.71m x 3.38m).

This is an excellent double bedroom with generous floor space for wardrobes, drawers and additional furniture.
Bedroom two


Remarkably, the second main bedroom is virtually identical in size, again measuring approximately 12'2" x 11'1" (3.71m x 3.38m).

For families with older children or teenagers, having two bedrooms of almost equal principal-bedroom proportions can be a significant advantage.

Both rooms could comfortably accommodate double beds and provide plenty of space for desks - especially useful for homework, gaming or home working.
Bedroom three


The third bedroom measures approximately 8'5" x 8'1" (2.57m x 2.46m) and is a perfectly practical child's bedroom, nursery or home office.
Bedroom four


Bedroom four measures approximately 8'3" x 8'1" (2.51m x 2.46m) and again offers genuinely useful accommodation.

For larger families, those needing dedicated working space, or purchasers wanting a combination of bedrooms, dressing room and office, the four-bedroom configuration provides considerable flexibility.
Family bathroom


The family bathroom serves the first floor and is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin.

As elsewhere, purchasers wishing to introduce their own decorative style have an excellent opportunity to modernise the room over time.
Outside
private rear garden


The property retains its own enclosed private rear garden measuring approximately 18'2" x 11'6" (5.54m x 3.51m).

Currently largely paved, this creates a relatively manageable outdoor space with room for seating, pots and planting, children's outdoor toys or summer entertaining.

Doors lead directly back into the conservatory, creating a good relationship between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

A very special additional feature - the residents' communal garden

What makes this home particularly interesting is that the private rear garden is not the only outside space available.

Immediately in front of the property is the large communal garden area provided for residents.

The photographs show an established green environment with mature planting, flowers, shrubs and communal open space extending across the centre of the development.

It gives the immediate surroundings an almost garden-square feel and provides a much greener outlook than many conventional residential terraces.

For families, keen gardeners or simply buyers who enjoy having open space around them, this is a major attraction and one that photographs alone may not fully convey - it really should be appreciated in person.
Milwards - an excellent family location



Milwards sits on the south-western side of Harlow, close to Sumners, Kingsmoor, Great Parndon and Staple Tye.

One of the area's great strengths is the sheer quantity of useful everyday amenities within a relatively small radius.

Local shopping is available at Staple Tye Shopping Centre, approximately 0.6 miles from the CM19 4SW postcode area, while larger-scale shopping, restaurants and services are available in Harlow Town Centre at Water Gardens Harlow and The Harvey Centre, approximately 11⁄2 miles away as the crow flies.

Supermarket shopping is equally convenient, with Lidl at Staple Tye approximately a mile away and the larger Asda within the Water Gardens around two miles away depending upon route.
Excellent local schooling


Families are particularly well served for primary education.

Milwards Primary School and Nursery is exceptionally close - approximately 0.1-0.3 miles away depending upon the part of Milwards - and its November 2023 Ofsted inspection rated the school Good, including Good judgements for education, behaviour, personal development, leadership and early years provision.

There are several further Ofsted-rated Good primary schools close by. Water Lane Primary Academy is approximately 0.3 miles away, Kingsmoor Academy approximately 0.4 miles, and Jerounds Primary Academy approximately 0.5 miles. All currently carry Good Ofsted outcomes.

For secondary education, Passmores Academy, approximately 2 miles from the postcode area, is currently rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent inspection cycle. Burnt Mill Academy, elsewhere in Harlow, is another Good-rated secondary option. School admissions and catchment areas should naturally be confirmed directly with the relevant authority or school.
Exceptionally convenient bus services


For buyers who do not want to rely exclusively on the car, Milwards is particularly well positioned.

The nearest recorded bus stop is approximately 94 metres from the CM19 4SW postcode, with several other stops within around 250-300 metres.

Stops around Milwards and Southern Way are served by routes including the 1,15,15A and 32, providing connections towards Harlow Town Centre as well as destinations such as Waltham Cross and Broxbourne. Other nearby services around Kingsmoor provide additional local connections.

That makes the location particularly practical for school-age children, commuters and households with only one car.
Rail connections & commuting


Harlow Town railway station is approximately 2.3 miles away, while Roydon railway station is approximately 2.5-2.6 miles away. Harlow Mill is around 3.7 miles away.

Harlow Town provides excellent Greater Anglia connections towards London Liverpool Street, with up to four trains per hour on weekdays, together with services towards Stratford, Tottenham Hale, Bishop's Stortford, Cambridge and Stansted Airport. Stansted Airport itself can be reached directly from Harlow Town by rail, with the fastest published journey approximately 17 minutes.

Roydon is another valuable alternative for commuters, with direct trains towards London Liverpool Street and Stratford. Greater Anglia currently operates up to three weekday trains per hour from Roydon to Liverpool Street.

For purchasers who occasionally need the Underground rather than National Rail, Epping Underground Station, at the eastern end of the Central line, is approximately 4.2 miles away.
Road connections


The property's position on the western side of Harlow also provides good access to the regional road network.

The M11 at Junction 7 is approximately 3.4 miles away by the quickest road route, opening up straightforward connections south towards the M25 and London and north towards Bishop's Stortford, Stansted Airport and Cambridge.

The M25 at Junction 27 is approximately 8.1 miles away, while the A414 provides the principal east-west route through and around Harlow towards Hertford, Chelmsford and the wider road network.

London Stansted Airport is approximately 121⁄2 miles away from the postcode area.

Doctors, pharmacy & hospital

Healthcare facilities are unusually convenient.

Doctor's Surgery - Barbara Castle Health Centre on Broadley Road is approximately 0.2 miles away, while Lister Medical Centre is approximately 0.6 miles away. A pharmacy at Sumners Hatch is around a quarter of a mile away.

Princess Alexandra Hospital is also within easy reach, approximately 11⁄2-21⁄2 miles away depending upon the route and measuring point within Milwards, providing Harlow's principal acute hospital facilities.
Harlow - A great place for family life



One of the major advantages of living in Harlow is the amount of family recreation available within the town.

Harlow Town Park is one of the town's great assets, combining extensive green space, landscaped gardens and recreation areas. The Town Park's adventure playground includes a zip line and giant climbing net, while an inclusive play area near Pets' Corner offers accessible play equipment. Harlow Council maintains 43 playgrounds across the town, meaning outdoor recreation is never far away.

Pets' Corner remains one of Harlow's best-loved family attractions. Situated within the Town Park and free to enter, it is home to traditional farm animals alongside reindeer, llamas, alpacas, rare breeds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.

For indoor sport and recreation, Harlow Leisurezone offers an eight-lane 25-metre swimming pool, learner pool and family changing facilities alongside children's activities including soft play, trampolining, go-karts, toddler activities and family swimming.

Families can also enjoy Harlow Playhouse, Harlow Museum and Walled Gardens, Parndon Wood Nature Reserve, the town's celebrated sculpture collection and an extensive network of cycleways and green spaces.

Surrounding towns, villages & countryside

Milwards is also extremely well placed for enjoying the wider Essex and Hertfordshire area.

Roydon lies just a few miles to the west, offering a traditional village setting, its own railway station and access towards the River Stort and Lee Valley countryside.

Epping is approximately four miles to the south-east of the postcode area and combines a traditional High Street with the considerable commuting advantage of the Central line. Beyond the town lies Epping Forest, providing miles of woodland, walking, cycling, horse riding and outdoor recreation.

Hoddesdon lies approximately four miles west and provides an established town centre with additional shopping and amenities, while nearby Broxbourne offers another railway station and access to the extensive Lee Valley.

The wider Lee Valley Regional Park opens up a tremendous range of family activities, wildlife areas, waterside walks and cycling, while a little further south are attractions including Lee Valley White Water Centre and Lee Valley Park Farms.

To the north-east, Sawbridgeworth provides another attractive small-town option with its own railway station, shops, cafés and access towards Bishop's Stortford and Stansted.

This ability to combine Harlow's infrastructure with nearby villages, countryside and excellent connections into London is one of the area's enduring attractions.
In summary


This is a property that delivers considerably more space than its external appearance might initially suggest.

At approximately 1,232 sq ft, the accommodation is particularly well suited to a growing family. Two excellent double bedrooms are complemented by two genuine additional bedrooms, while downstairs there is a substantial living room, generous kitchen/dining space, conservatory, WC and excellent storage.

Outside, purchasers have the benefit of their own private rear garden, but the real point of difference is the large residents' communal garden immediately in front of the property - an unusual and extremely appealing feature that gives the setting an abundance of greenery and additional outdoor space.

Combine all of this with Ofsted-rated Good primary schools within approximately half a mile, doctors and pharmacy facilities close at hand, excellent local bus services, Harlow Town station around 2.3 miles away, straightforward M11 access and the wealth of family activities Harlow and the surrounding countryside have to offer, and the result is a home with an exceptionally practical proposition for family life.

Four bedrooms. Approximately 1,232 sq ft. Two generous double bedrooms. Conservatory. Downstairs WC. Excellent storage. Private garden. Large communal residents' garden. Schools, buses and healthcare within easy reach.

For buyers looking for space, flexibility and an established family location, this Milwards home should be firmly on the viewing list.
