Matthews Villas, Harlow

Jukes Estates are happy to bring to market this well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached property in the sought-after village of Roydon.

Spacious 3 bedroom semi detached properties do not come to market very often in this quiet cul de sac in Roydon.
You enter the property via a good size porch with storage for boots, shoes & coats. The super large Lounge / Diner (almost 23 square metres) is the feature of this lovely family home. There s a gorgeous brick feature fireplace with a lovely log burner, but the property also has gas central heating. It benefits from wooden flooring. It has a gloriously large bay window that overlooks the front of the property & there is an extra large storage cupboard. The Dining area currently houses a good size dining table & chairs and there is enough room for additional furniture. The kitchen is a galley style kitchen and is fully fitted. There is plenty of work surfaces and lots of cupboards & drawers. There is a back door that leads into the extra large rear garden. The kitchen has an open plan feel because what was probably once, a small serving hatch has been completely opened up & when entertaining or gathering for family meals, whoever is doing the prep and cook will be a part of the conversations etc.
Off the Dining area is a large conservatory. There are double doors that open in tot the extra large rear garden and the roof is polycarbonate to stop the room overheating.
We stay downstairs to describe the extra large garden. Laid mainly to lawn and extremely low maintenance, this 240 square metrre (2,500 sq ft) chunk of a green open space is perfect for families and keen gardeners alike. There are two sheds, a log store and BBQ area. For keen hortuculturists, this is a completely blank canvas.
Up stairs you will find the three bedrooms and family bathroom.
The master bedroom is a good size double with a gorgeous large bay window the overlooks the front of the property.
Bedroom 2, another double, has a large window that overlooks the rear of the property and has a storage cupboard.
Bedroom 3 in todays mad property world could be described as a small double. Currently used as a home office by the owners, we believe this is a single room.
The family bathroom is very modern and consists of a bathtub, WC & wash basin.
The outside front of this property is totally laid to concrete and offers off street parking for 2/3 cars & possibly more!
The geographic location of this rural property is superb & whilst glorious countryside & riverbank walks surround this family property, it is none too far away from important local amenities...
