The Accommodation

The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the standard. Stylish flooring, contemporary internal doors and an attractive staircase combine to create a bright and polished first impression, with the principal ground-floor rooms flowing naturally from the hallway.

For anyone who works from home, the separate office measuring approximately 10'6" x 10'6" is a major advantage. It is a genuine room rather than an improvised corner of another living space and could equally serve as a study, playroom, hobby room or occasional guest space depending upon individual requirements.

There is also a smartly presented ground-floor cloakroom/WC.

The Kitchen/Dining/Family Room - The Heart of the Home

Without question, one of the defining features of this property is the outstanding 24'10" x 20'6" kitchen/dining/family room.

This is exactly the sort of space around which modern family life revolves.

The contemporary kitchen is beautifully finished with sleek gloss cabinetry, extensive work surfaces and a substantial central island incorporating breakfast-bar seating. High-quality integrated appliances include Siemens cooking equipment, while the striking coloured glass splashbacks provide a stylish contrast to the understated cabinetry.

Generous recessed lighting, extensive storage and excellent preparation space make this a highly practical kitchen, but what makes the room particularly successful is the way the cooking, dining and informal living areas come together.

There is ample room for a substantial family dining table as well as an additional seating area, while wide bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden. In warmer weather, the doors can be opened to create an effortless relationship between the house, patio and lawn.

It is easy to imagine this room becoming the centre of everyday family life: Breakfast before school, children doing homework at the island, Sunday lunch around the dining table, friends gathering for dinner and summer entertaining extending directly into the garden.

Separate Reception Room

For evenings when a little separation is wanted, the substantial 15'3" x 13'6" reception room provides an elegant second living space.

Beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light, it offers plenty of room for substantial sofas and occasional furniture. Doors onto the garden give the room an additional sense of openness and provide another connection with the outside space.

Having both this substantial reception room and the enormous kitchen/family area gives the house tremendous flexibility. Adults and children can enjoy different areas at the same time without anyone feeling confined.

First Floor

The quality and sense of space continue upstairs.

Four well-proportioned bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for a growing family, with the largest measuring approximately 14'4" x 14'4" and another extending to approximately 13'6" x 10'10".

The bedroom accommodation is complemented by two contemporary en-suite shower rooms as well as a stylish family bathroom, providing exactly the sort of bathroom provision larger households appreciate during busy mornings.

The bathrooms are finished in a clean contemporary style, with modern sanitaryware, generous tiling, chrome fittings and excellent shower facilities. The family bathroom additionally incorporates a bath and separate shower.

Several bedrooms also benefit from fitted storage, helping to keep the rooms uncluttered.

A further particularly useful feature is the fully boarded loft, giving the household valuable additional storage space.

Underfloor Heating, Security & Specification

Comfort and practicality have clearly been important considerations within this home.

The property benefits from underfloor heating, while a full alarm system provides additional reassurance.

Throughout the house there is a consistency to the specification: Contemporary doors, attractive flooring, extensive recessed lighting, quality fitted storage and beautifully presented bathrooms all contribute to the feeling that this is a home that can simply be moved into and enjoyed.

A Superb Family Garden

The rear garden is another genuine highlight.

Measuring approximately 43' x 36', it is beautifully landscaped and feels wonderfully private. A generous expanse of lawn provides excellent space for children to play, while paved seating areas are ideal for outdoor dining, barbecues and entertaining.

Well-stocked borders contain an attractive mixture of established shrubs, flowering plants and architectural planting, creating colour around the garden without sacrificing usable lawn.

The attractive brick boundaries also add considerably to the character and sense of enclosure.

With the bi-fold doors open from the kitchen/family room, the garden becomes almost an extension of the internal living accommodation.

Parking & Garage

A block-paved driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles, while additional parking is available on the street immediately outside the property.

The property owns one single garage, which benefits from an electric garage door and provides excellent secure parking or additional storage.

For absolute clarity for prospective purchasers, although the detached garage building visible externally contains two garage doors, only one of those garages forms part of this property.

Living at Terlings Park

The house itself is impressive, but its position within Terlings Park adds another dimension entirely.

Terlings Park is a beautifully landscaped residential development set amongst established grounds, mature trees, woodland and extensive green open spaces. Rather than feeling like a conventional modern housing estate, the development has a much more established and leafy character.

The abundance of mature planting is immediately noticeable. Tree-lined paths, open lawns and landscaped communal areas run throughout the development, creating an environment that encourages walking, jogging, cycling and simply spending time outside.

For dog owners, the setting is particularly appealing, with excellent walking opportunities virtually from the front door.

For families, having this amount of green space nearby can transform day-to-day life. Children have somewhere to explore and enjoy the outdoors, while parents can take an evening stroll without needing to get into the car.

The wider Gilston countryside provides even more opportunities for country walks, cycling and exploring the River Stort valley.

Excellent for Commuters

One of the great strengths of this location is the combination of its green surroundings with excellent transport connections.

Harlow Town railway station is approximately half a mile away, making Terlings Park particularly appealing to commuters. Mainline rail services provide direct connections towards London Liverpool Street, Tottenham Hale, Stansted Airport and Cambridge.

Several are within approximately a mile of the property, making the location particularly practical for families with school-age children.

Pets' Corner has been enjoyed by generations of local families, while the Town Park adventure playground provides another popular destination for younger children.

The town also provides cinemas, restaurants, sports clubs, football pitches, golf facilities, dance schools, martial arts clubs and numerous activities for children of different ages.

For families who enjoy the outdoors, Parndon Wood Nature Reserve, the River Stort and surrounding countryside provide plenty of opportunities for walking and wildlife spotting.

Gilston & The Surrounding Villages

Living at Terlings Park also places you on the doorstep of some attractive Hertfordshire and Essex countryside.

Gilston retains a distinctly rural feel, with surrounding farmland, countryside and walking routes creating a welcome contrast to the amenities of nearby Harlow.

The neighbouring villages of Eastwick and High Wych provide further countryside and traditional village surroundings.

Roydon is also nearby, offering its own railway station, marina, village pubs and excellent walking opportunities along the River Stort and surrounding countryside.

Both provide attractive town centres, riverside walks, restaurants and independent shops, making them excellent destinations for family days out.

The surrounding countryside offers country parks, walking trails, golf courses and numerous opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

Stansted Airport

For those who travel regularly, Stansted Airport is particularly convenient.

It can be reached by both road and rail, making holidays, business trips and visiting friends and relatives overseas considerably easier than from many comparable locations.

The Best of Both Worlds

Bowlby Hill succeeds because it does not force its owners to choose between space, lifestyle and convenience.

Inside is approximately 1,750 sq ft of beautifully presented family accommodation, centred around a superb kitchen/dining/family room and complemented by a large reception room, dedicated office, four bedrooms, two en-suites and a family bathroom.

Outside is a wonderful landscaped garden, two-car driveway and electrically operated single garage.

Beyond the boundary are the mature trees, woodland, landscaped open spaces and pathways of Terlings Park, together with the wider Gilston countryside.

And within easy reach are a mainline railway station, highly regarded schools, major road connections, supermarkets, shops, leisure facilities, doctors and hospital services.

For the growing family, London commuter, home worker or anyone seeking modern living in a genuinely attractive green setting, this is an exceptional opportunity.

An internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate not only the scale and quality of the accommodation, but also the very special lifestyle that comes with living at Terlings Park.
