Blackbush Spring, Harlow

**OFFERS OVER £350,000** Jukes Estate Agents are delighted to bring to market this superb extended 3 bedroom end of terrace property in Blackbush Spring Harlow. For sale by way of a conditional sale*.
Located in a 'pedestrian only' spur of Blackbush Spring, it provides extra safety from traffic (especially if you have children or pets),and yet street parking is reasonably easy.
The property was extended some years ago and as you will see from the floorplan and images, the ground floor open plan living, dining & cooking area is large and extremely well designed. It is in superb condition, as is the entire property and has been decorated to a high standard.
I say this, not only because it is true, but because the 'lady of the house' is a brilliant artist and her eye for for detail shines through in every room in this impressive property.
The lounge area is extremely spacious and there is a large window overlooking the front of the property. The current owners have designated the dining area to be adjacent to the kitchen area which makes perfect sense. They currently have a large dining room table & chairs in situ and there is still plenty of space. The kitchen area is fully fitted with all the usual white goods. There is a range cooker with double oven & 5 ring gas hob. It is fully vented. It also has a beautiful tiled wall. The extension forms the final part of this cracking living area. The current owners have it as an extra seating area and a multi gym. However, the uses are endless and new owners could simply reconfigure to suit them.
Double doors lead to the beautiful medium size garden.
I have always looked at the garden first when I visit a property. It's normally a clear indicator as to how well the owners have looked after the property in general.
Needless to say that this garden is gorgeous, as is the rest of the property.
Laid mainly to a quality lawn, the current owner has created a fabulous garden that has a paved area that is currently occupied by a funky sun chair. There is a raised decked area that the current owners have lovely garden furniture on. The other side of the garden has a gorgeous flower bed full of beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers. There is a decked area directly outside the property and there is a large garden shed. It really is a beautiful rear garden.
Upstairs we find 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom. 2 of the bedrooms are large doubles and the third is a small double or a decent size single.
As with the downstairs, all bedrooms are decorated to an extremely high standard and look gorgeous.
The family bathroom is also decorated to a high standard and finishes off the upstairs of this property superbly well.
This property has served the current owners well and whilst it's now time for them to move onto pastures new, it gives a fantastic opportunity for a new family to move in and start making the same happy memories the current occupants have!
Not only is it a superb 3 bedroom property, its location is excellent and it is close to all major amenities.
It is actually right next to one of Harlow's many cycle / walkways and this again is a big positive for family walking or cycling.
When it comes to other important amenities, we find that:
Primary School (Ofsted rated good) 0.15 miles.
Secondary School (Ofsted rated good) 0.5 miles.
GP Surgery 0.3 miles
Stow Shopping Centre 0.2 miles.

Living in Harlow: A Family-Friendly Town with Modern Amenities and Countryside Charm

Nestled in the west of Essex, Harlow is a town that offers a balanced lifestyle, combining urban convenience with green space tranquillity. Originally developed as a post-war New Town, Harlow has grown into a vibrant community that particularly appeals to families seeking affordable homes, good schools, and a range of activities for all ages.

A Town Built for Families
One of Harlow's greatest strengths is its suitability for family life. The town was designed with neighbourhoods in mind, and that legacy lives on today through its abundance of parks, cycle paths, and family-friendly facilities. Many of the residential areas are quiet, leafy, and offer a strong sense of community, making them ideal for raising children.

Harlow's green credentials are impressive. It boasts over 30 public parks and open spaces, with Harlow Town Park being a particular standout. One of the largest urban parks in the country, it features a petting zoo, adventure playgrounds, splash park, skate park, paddling pool, café and even a sensory garden. The park is a hub of local activity, especially during the warmer months when families flock there for picnics and outdoor fun.

Schools and Education
For families with children, Harlow offers a variety of educational options. There are numerous primary and secondary schools across the town, with some rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. Notable schools include Burnt Mill Academy, St Mark's West Essex Catholic School, and Passmores Academy - the latter having gained national attention through the TV documentary "Educating Essex."

For further education, Harlow College provides an extensive range of courses and vocational training. The recently opened Sir Charles Kao UTC, focusing on science and engineering, also reflects the town's investment in youth and innovation.

Amenities and Services
Harlow is well-equipped with a wide range of amenities to suit modern family needs. The Harvey Centre and Queensgate Centre offer high-street shopping, dining, and cinema entertainment. The town has several large supermarkets, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Asda, as well as independent shops and eateries.

Healthcare is covered by the Princess Alexandra Hospital, several GP surgeries, dental practices, and clinics. The town also benefits from well-maintained libraries, leisure centres (such as Harlow Leisurezone with its pool, gym, sports courts and climbing wall), and a wide selection of clubs and societies for children and adults alike.

Things to Do for Families
Beyond Harlow Town Park, there are numerous places to keep children and parents entertained. Families can enjoy the Pets' Corner animal sanctuary, explore the Parndon Wood Nature Reserve, or take a boat trip down the River Stort.

Cultural attractions include Harlow Playhouse, which regularly hosts family-friendly theatre, music, and comedy. The Gibberd Garden, created by the town's architect Sir Frederick Gibberd, offers a whimsical garden trail perfect for little explorers.

For rainy days, indoor play centres like Partyman World of Play or Jump Giants trampoline park are firm favourites. Sports clubs in Harlow cater to a wide range of interests - from football and rugby to martial arts and dance.

Day Trips and Nearby Attractions
Harlow's location makes it ideal for families wanting the best of both worlds - town convenience and countryside escape. The Epping Forest area is just a short drive away, offering woodland walks and horse riding.

Nearby towns such as Bishop's Stortford, Ware, and Hertford provide charming high streets, riverside walks and additional family attractions. For bigger adventures, Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne or Lee Valley Park Farms in Waltham Abbey are easily accessible by car.

Thanks to the proximity of the M11 and frequent train services from Harlow Town and Harlow Mill stations, London is within easy reach - perfect for family days out to the capital's museums, theatres, and landmarks.

A Community That Grows With You
What sets Harlow apart is its sense of community and ongoing regeneration. With major developments such as the Harlow Science Park, upgrades to transport infrastructure, and plans for a new hospital, the town is evolving with an eye on the future.

In summary, Harlow offers a compelling package for families: ample green space, solid educational choices, accessible transport links, and plenty of things to do. Whether you're walking through its sculpture-studded parks, taking the kids to drama classes, or enjoying a quiet weekend in the countryside, Harlow delivers a lifestyle that is both practical and enriching.
