The Accommodation

Entering the property, you are welcomed by a particularly spacious hallway which immediately hints at the scale of accommodation beyond. The entrance hall provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms, while the staircase rises to the first floor.

The house has clearly been designed around practical family living, with rooms offering the space to accommodate everything from everyday family life and entertaining to working from home and multi-generational living.

Superb 32ft Reception & Dining Room

Without question, one of the great features of this property is its exceptionally spacious reception and dining room, extending to approximately 32'0" x 10'5".

Rather than simply being one long room, its proportions allow the space to naturally divide into comfortable living and dining zones.

The principal lounge area easily accommodates substantial sofas and additional occasional furniture, while attractive flooring, contemporary lighting and feature display shelving add considerable personality to the room.

Continue through and the room opens into a dedicated dining area, large enough for a sizeable family dining table.

This arrangement works particularly well for modern family life. Parents can relax while younger members of the family use another part of the room, yet everyone remains connected within one sociable environment.

At the rear, French doors open directly onto the garden, making the dining area particularly enjoyable during the warmer months and creating an easy transition between the house and outside space.

For birthdays, Christmas, family gatherings and entertaining friends, this is an enormously useful room.

Generous Contemporary Kitchen

The additional photographs really demonstrate just how substantial the kitchen is.

Measuring approximately 16'5" x 13'8", it provides considerably more workspace and storage than might initially be expected.

Contemporary high-gloss white cabinetry is complemented by extensive contrasting work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A substantial range-style cooker with extractor hood above forms an impressive focal point and is ideal for anyone who enjoys cooking for a large household.

There is generous preparation space, an inset sink positioned beneath a wide window, room for substantial refrigeration and further appliance space.

Recessed ceiling lighting keeps the room bright, while the distinctive patterned flooring gives it considerable character.

Most importantly, this is a kitchen capable of dealing with the realities of family life. There is room for food preparation, storage, large appliances and several people to use the space without it feeling restrictive.

Ground-Floor Bedroom Five

Another significant advantage is the fifth bedroom on the ground floor, measuring approximately 17'0" x 8'5".

Currently demonstrating just how much furniture and storage the room can accommodate, this is a genuinely versatile additional room.

For a large family it could provide a substantial fifth bedroom. For a household with older children, it could become a teenager's room away from the other bedrooms.

It could equally work extremely well as a:

Home office, playroom, hobby room, games room, gym, guest room or accommodation for an older relative.

For buyers now working partly or entirely from home, having a proper room that can be dedicated to work rather than sacrificing a bedroom upstairs is a particularly valuable feature.

Its ground-floor position also makes the house an interesting proposition for multi-generational family living.

A convenient ground-floor cloakroom/WC, finished in a clean contemporary style, further enhances the practicality of this level.

Four Bedrooms Upstairs

The first floor continues the generous proportions of the house and provides four further bedrooms, three of which are particularly impressive doubles.

Principal Bedroom & En-Suite

The principal bedroom measures approximately 14'5" x 13'5" and is an excellent size.

Two windows provide plenty of natural light while there is ample room for a substantial bed, bedside furniture, wardrobes and further storage.

A particularly important feature is its private en-suite shower room, incorporating a shower enclosure, wash basin and WC.

For parents in a busy five-bedroom household, having a separate en-suite away from the main family bathroom is an obvious advantage.

Bedroom Two

The second double bedroom measures approximately 12'10" x 12'6".

Its generous dimensions mean there is plenty of room for a double bed alongside wardrobes, drawers and other furniture without making the room feel overcrowded.

Bedroom Three

The third bedroom measures approximately 12'11" x 11'11" and is another excellent double.

Again, the photographs demonstrate that these are proper bedrooms rather than rooms that rely on clever furniture positioning to make them usable.

Bedroom Four

Bedroom four measures approximately 8'10" x 8'3".

It would make an excellent child's bedroom, nursery or study and means that, even after allocating four bedrooms upstairs, the property still retains the additional fifth bedroom on the ground floor.

Family Bathroom

The first floor is completed by the family bathroom.

A striking deep-blue tiled surround provides character, while the suite includes a bath with shower arrangement, wash basin with useful storage beneath and WC.

Together with the principal bedroom's en-suite and the ground-floor WC, the house offers the bathroom facilities that a larger household needs.

A Superb Family Garden

The latest photographs also show that the garden deserves considerably more emphasis than in the original description.

Measuring approximately 51'7" x 31'4", the rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property.

Immediately behind the house is a substantial paved terrace, creating plenty of space for garden furniture, outdoor dining, barbecues and entertaining.

Beyond this is a generous lawn providing an ideal area for children to play.

The garden becomes increasingly leafy towards its boundaries, with mature trees, established planting and palm-style trees creating interest and a surprisingly green backdrop for a home in such a convenient residential location.

There is enough outside space to accommodate children's play equipment, a paddling pool, football goals or trampoline while still retaining areas where adults can sit and relax.

For keen gardeners there is also considerable scope to develop the existing landscaping further.

It is precisely the sort of garden that can evolve with a family - a safe play area while children are young, entertaining space as they grow and, ultimately, an attractive place in which to relax.

Garage & Parking

The property benefits from a particularly substantial garage measuring approximately 23'4" x 9'9".

Its size provides considerably more flexibility than a typical modern garage.

In addition to vehicle accommodation, it provides excellent storage for bicycles, children's equipment, tools, garden furniture and general household possessions.

For anyone interested in hobbies, motorcycles, cycling or diy, the extra space could be invaluable.

There is also off-road parking to the front of the property.

Living in Finchmoor

Finchmoor forms part of an established residential area on the southern side of Harlow and is especially convenient for families who want everyday amenities within easy reach.

A particularly important advantage is the proximity of Staple Tye Shopping Centre, approximately 0.1-0.2 miles away.

That means a wide selection of everyday facilities can be reached on foot rather than requiring the car.

Staple Tye provides a Lidl supermarket together with convenience shopping, food outlets and other local services.

Playing fields, children's recreational spaces and sports facilities are also available within the surrounding area.

Schools

Families have a particularly good selection of educational facilities nearby.

Abbotsweld Primary Academy is approximately 0.2 miles away, making the school run exceptionally convenient, while St Luke's Catholic Academy is approximately 0.3 miles away and Longwood Primary Academy approximately 0.4 miles away. These have recorded Good Ofsted inspection outcomes.

For secondary education, St Mark's West Essex Catholic School is approximately 0.8 miles away, while Passmores Academy is approximately 1.3 miles away, both also having achieved Good Ofsted outcomes.

There are numerous additional primary and secondary schools throughout Harlow, giving families a broad choice as children progress through their education.

As always, purchasers should confirm current Ofsted ratings, admissions criteria and school catchment arrangements directly with the relevant authorities.

Doctors, Dentists & Hospital

Everyday healthcare is extremely convenient.

Lister House Health Centre is approximately 0.3 miles away, placing gp and associated healthcare facilities within comfortable walking distance for many residents.

There are also pharmacies, dentists and additional medical practices throughout Harlow.

Princess Alexandra Hospital is approximately 2 miles away, providing Harlow's principal hospital and accident and emergency services.

This combination of nearby healthcare facilities can be particularly reassuring for households with young children or older family members.

Bus Services

Finchmoor is well served by Harlow's bus network.

Bus stops can be found within just a few minutes' walk of the property, particularly around Abercrombie Way and Staple Tye, with services providing connections towards Harlow Town Centre, the railway station and other residential areas.

For teenagers travelling independently to school, college, shops or leisure facilities, this is another important advantage of the location.

Railway Connections

Harlow Town railway station is approximately 1.8 miles away and is the principal station serving the town.

Regular train services provide convenient connections towards London Liverpool Street and Tottenham Hale, making Harlow a popular location for commuters working in London.

Northbound services provide access towards Bishop's Stortford, Stansted Airport and Cambridge.

Tottenham Hale also offers interchange with the Victoria line for journeys across London.

Harlow Mill railway station is approximately 3 miles away, giving residents an additional rail option.

Excellent Road Connections

Harlow is very well placed for motorists.

The A414 is readily accessible and provides routes towards Hertford in one direction and Chelmsford in the other.

The M11 can be reached within a short drive, providing fast links south towards London and north towards Stansted Airport and Cambridge.

The A10 can also be reached via the western side of Harlow and Hoddesdon, opening up routes towards Hertfordshire and North London.

This strategic position is one reason Harlow continues to appeal to households where family members commute in different directions.

Harlow Town Centre

Harlow Town Centre is approximately 1.5 miles away and provides an extensive range of shopping, entertainment and leisure facilities.

The Water Gardens includes major national retailers, restaurants and an Asda superstore, while the Harvey Centre offers further shops, cafés and services.

Additional retail facilities can be found at Queensgate Centre and The Oaks Retail Park, while neighbourhood shopping centres across Harlow provide convenient everyday shopping closer to home.

Family Life in Harlow

Harlow has considerably more to offer families than simply good transport links.

One of the town's greatest assets is the amount of green space woven through its residential neighbourhoods, something inherited from its original New Town design.

Families can enjoy miles of footpaths and cycle routes, parks, playgrounds, playing fields and wooded areas.

Harlow Town Park

One of the biggest attractions is Harlow Town Park, covering more than 160 acres.

Families can spend an entire day here enjoying open parkland, landscaped gardens, children's play areas and woodland walks.

A perennial favourite with younger children is Pets' Corner, where families can see a variety of farm and more unusual animals.

The Town Park also offers an adventure playground, skate facilities, outdoor exercise areas and plenty of space for picnics, ball games and family walks.

It is an excellent free or low-cost option for weekends and school holidays.

Harlow Leisurezone

For swimming and sport, Harlow Leisurezone is one of the largest leisure facilities in the surrounding area.

Facilities include swimming pools, gym, sports halls and a broad programme of children's and family activities.

The complex also offers activities such as climbing and indoor recreation, making it especially useful during the winter months or school holidays.

Parndon Wood Nature Reserve

Families who enjoy wildlife and countryside walks can visit Parndon Wood Nature Reserve.

Its woodland paths and wildlife habitats give children an opportunity to explore nature without travelling far from home.

Harlow Playhouse

Harlow Playhouse provides a varied programme throughout the year including theatre, comedy, music, children's productions and seasonal shows.

For families, it means an evening at the theatre does not necessarily involve travelling into London.

Harlow Museum & Walled Gardens

Harlow Museum and Walled Gardens provides another family-friendly attraction and an opportunity to discover the town's fascinating history.

Harlow's Sculpture Collection

One of Harlow's less obvious attractions is its extraordinary collection of public sculpture.

Works by internationally recognised artists can be found throughout the town, meaning walks and cycle rides can effectively become sculpture trails.

Cycling, Walking & Outdoor Life

Harlow was designed with an extensive network of cycleways and pedestrian routes, allowing many neighbourhoods, schools, parks and shopping areas to be reached without constantly travelling along busy main roads.

For families with children beginning to gain their independence, this network can be particularly useful.

There are also numerous playing fields, sports clubs and recreation grounds throughout the town catering for activities including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, athletics and other sports.

Days Out Around Harlow

Finchmoor is also extremely well positioned for exploring the wider Essex and Hertfordshire countryside.

Within a relatively short drive are some excellent family destinations.

Epping Forest provides thousands of acres of woodland for walking, cycling, horse riding and picnics.

The Lee Valley offers an enormous choice of outdoor activities, country parks, waterways and cycle routes.

At Lee Valley White Water Centre, older children and adults can try more adventurous activities.

Hertfordshire Zoo, near Broxbourne, provides a popular family day out and is easily reached by car.

Historic Waltham Abbey and the surrounding Lee Valley provide further opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring.

Nearby Towns & Villages

One of the advantages of Harlow is how quickly residents can move from the facilities of a sizeable town into genuine countryside.

Nearby Roydon offers a traditional village environment, railway station, marina, countryside walks and access to the River Stort and Lee Valley.

Sawbridgeworth provides independent shops, cafés, restaurants and riverside walks, while Bishop's Stortford offers a larger selection of shopping, restaurants, entertainment and leisure facilities.

The surrounding villages of Gilston, High Wych, Sheering, Matching, Nazeing and Hastingwood provide country walks, village pubs and attractive rural surroundings.

Travel a little further and families can enjoy Epping, Ongar, Hertford, Broxbourne and Waltham Abbey, significantly broadening the choice of places to visit at weekends.

A Home Designed Around Family Life

The overriding impression of this Finchmoor property is space.

It isn't simply the fact that there are five bedrooms.

It is the combination of:

A 32ft reception/dining room, a large kitchen, four bedrooms upstairs, a fifth bedroom downstairs, an en-suite, family bathroom, additional WC, substantial garage and a garden measuring more than 50ft long.

That combination creates genuine flexibility.

Young children can have bedrooms and play space. Teenagers can have greater independence. Parents can work from home. Grandparents or guests can potentially have ground-floor accommodation. Bikes, toys and family equipment can disappear into the garage rather than cluttering the house.

And when everyone comes together, the huge reception/dining room and sizeable garden provide the spaces in which family life can actually happen.

Add schools, shops, doctors and buses within easy reach, Harlow Town station approximately two miles away, excellent road connections and some of the best family leisure facilities in the area, and this becomes a very compelling long-term home.

For purchasers seeking substantially more space than the typical Harlow family property provides, this impressive five-bedroom Finchmoor home deserves serious consideration. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate just how much accommodation is on offer.
