Description
This well-maintained apartment, offered with no onward chain, sits in the highly desirable Water Gardens / commercial quarter of Harlow — an area already established as a quality location but now poised to benefit from ongoing £80 million+ town centre regeneration. With a current EICR certificate in place, it’s ready to move into or rent out immediately.
Key features include:
• A peppercorn / zero ground rent under the most expensive of the management company’s lease-extension options
• A long lease remaining (161 years)
• Parking permit availability for two vehicles
• Condition described as good throughout — not pristine, but immediately comfortable and habitable

Location & Local Amenities
Water Gardens & Town Centre
• The apartment block is located in the Water Gardens area, which is the open-air shopping and commercial heart adjacent to the high street.
• The Water Gardens offers a strong retail mix: Next, H&M, TK Maxx, River Island, Pandora, Waterstones, Sports Direct, among others
• Dining, cafés and leisure options are also well represented — for example Costa, Five Guys, Pizza Express and many others.
Town Centre Regeneration
• Harlow is undergoing a significant town centre transformation, including redevelopment of the bus station, Terminus Street, Market Square, and Broad Walk.
• The new transport hub will include a modernised bus interchange, cycle hub, canopy-covered waiting areas, and enhanced pedestrian streetscape aimed at increasing footfall and making the centre more attractive.
• These improvements are likely to lift the appeal, prestige, and commercial vibrancy of the surrounding area over coming years.
Walkable Convenience & Transport
• You are within walking distance of the bus station, which offers routes to Epping (Central Line to London), Stansted, Heathrow, and local destinations.
• The nearby Harlow Town railway station is easily accessible on foot, facilitating commuting or linking into London and other regional destinations.
• The area is also well regarded among hospital staff—as both homeowners and tenants—making it a popular choice for those working at Princess Alexandra Hospital and the medical community in Harlow.
