Property Description

** GUIDE PRICE £225,000 - £250,000** For sale by way of a conditional sale *
Jukes Estates are delighted to offer for sale this two-bedroom terraced property in Longbanks, in the popular Staple Tye area of Harlow.
This "doer upper" is a good start 'starter home' or 'downsizer' that needs some TLC and refurbishment throughout. This of course reflects in the price it is being offered for.
For the benefit of people looking at this online, we have included a few images using AI to show what it could look like when refurbished. The current owners have also supplied us with a couple of garden shots to show what it used to look like.
There is an open plan living room / dining area which totals over 23 m2 (over 250 sq ft). The kitchen, whilst usable really needs replacing. One bedroom is downstairs and one is upstairs. Both are decent size doubles. The family bathroom has a separate WC although it would be reasonably easy to knockdown the adjoining wall to make one bigger space. There is lots of cupboard / storage space. There is a conservatory which could remain as such or be converted into a home office. The garden is a nice size and needs some TLC to bring it back to it's former glory.
This property could be easily refurbished and turned into a cracking 2 bedroom house! It is also ideally geographically located from many local amenities:
Medical Centre 0.39 miles.
Staple Tye Shopping centre 0.3 miles.
Primary School (Ofsted rated good) 0.7 miles.
Secondary School (Ofsted rated good) 0.3 miles.
Harlow train station 2.5 miles.
Harlow town centre 1.41 miles.
Princess Alexander Hospital 1.55 miles.
