savoy wood, harlow
well-presented two-bedroom family home | approx. 663 sq ft | large lounge/diner | modern fitted kitchen | two generous bedrooms | attractive rear garden | cul-de-sac setting | open countryside close by

A beautifully presented and extremely well-proportioned two-bedroom family home occupying a tucked-away position in the popular Savoy Wood area on the south-western outskirts of Harlow. Offering approximately 663 sq ft of accommodation, a superb 16'8" lounge/diner, contemporary fitted kitchen, two generous bedrooms, modern family bathroom and an attractive enclosed rear garden, this is a home that should appeal equally to first-time buyers, young families, couples and those looking to downsize without sacrificing useful living space.

One of the great advantages of Savoy Wood is its location. Although firmly connected to everything Harlow has to offer, it sits right towards the edge of the town, close to Jacks Hatch and the open countryside around Epping Green and Epping Upland. Existing property information for Savoy Wood specifically describes the location as being on the outskirts of Harlow with open fields close by, giving purchasers an increasingly sought-after combination of town convenience and countryside access.

The property itself has clearly been cared for and improved, with a particularly impressive modern kitchen and bathroom complemented by a spacious main reception room and family-friendly rear garden.
The accommodation


According to the supplied floorplan, the house provides approximately 663 sq ft / 61.6 sq m over two floors.

The property is approached through a useful entrance porch, providing a practical place for coats, shoes, pushchairs or the everyday clutter of family life before entering the main accommodation.

From here, the scale of the ground floor becomes immediately apparent.
Impressive lounge/diner


The lounge/diner extends to approximately 16'8" x 12'9" (5.08m x 3.89m) and is an excellent size for a two-bedroom house.

As the photographs demonstrate, there is ample space for two substantial sofas without compromising the room, while the opposite end comfortably accommodates a dining table and chairs.

That makes this a genuine multi-purpose family living area rather than simply a lounge with a table squeezed into one corner.

A broad front-facing window allows plenty of natural light into the room, while the predominantly neutral decorative scheme makes the accommodation feel particularly bright. Recessed ceiling lighting adds a smart contemporary finish.

There is plenty of scope to configure the space in different ways: A purchaser could retain separate sitting and dining zones, introduce a children's play corner or incorporate a home-working area while still retaining a comfortable main reception room.

It is undoubtedly one of the property's strongest features.
Modern fitted kitchen


The kitchen measures approximately 12'9" x 8'3" (3.89m x 2.52m) and has been finished in an attractive modern style.

White high-gloss cabinetry provides an excellent range of wall and base-level storage, complemented by contrasting work surfaces and attractive pale aqua-toned tiled splashbacks.

The photographs show a gas hob with stainless-steel extractor above together with fitted cooking appliances, while there is generous preparation space and additional provision for everyday appliances.

Recessed ceiling lighting gives the kitchen a clean contemporary appearance, while the large window and glazed door overlooking the garden introduce plenty of natural light.

For parents in particular, the direct connection with the garden is useful - meals can be prepared while still maintaining a visual connection with children playing outside.

The room feels modern, practical and ready to use from day one.
First floor


The staircase rises from the lounge/diner to a central landing serving both bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Principal bedroom


Bedroom one is a particularly generous room measuring approximately 12'9" x 11'1" (3.89m x 3.39m).

There is ample room for a substantial double bed and associated furniture, while the extensive fitted wardrobe arrangement shown in the photographs provides an impressive amount of clothes and storage space.

A wide window allows excellent natural light into the room and the overall proportions make this a comfortable principal bedroom rather than simply somewhere to accommodate a bed.
Bedroom two


Bedroom two measures approximately 12'9" x 6'11" (3.89m x 2.12m).

The photographs demonstrate the versatility of this room particularly well, currently showing it capable of accommodating two single beds together with substantial storage furniture.

For a family with two younger children this could therefore be extremely useful, while alternatively the room would make an excellent second bedroom, nursery, guest room or spacious home office.

For buyers increasingly working partly from home, having a bedroom long enough to combine sleeping accommodation with a desk and study area could be particularly attractive.
Contemporary family bathroom


The bathroom measures approximately 6'10" x 5'7" (2.09m x 1.70m) and has been modernised in a fresh, attractive style.

The white suite includes a shaped bath with shower facilities and glazed screen, WC and pedestal wash basin, with white metro-style tiling, contrasting wall colour and patterned flooring creating a smart contemporary appearance.

It is another part of the house where the present owners' improvements mean there should be no immediate requirement for major expenditure.
The rear garden


Outside, the property benefits from an attractive and fully enclosed private rear garden which works particularly well for children and pets.

Immediately adjoining the house is a paved seating and entertaining area - ideal for a garden table, chairs and barbecue - beyond which steps lead onto an area principally laid to lawn.

Fenced boundaries provide privacy and security, while a garden shed at the far end provides useful storage for bicycles, garden equipment and children's outdoor toys.

The relatively straightforward design should also appeal to anyone who wants outside space without the burden of maintaining an enormous garden.

For summer entertaining, children's play or simply relaxing outdoors, it complements the internal accommodation extremely well.
Savoy wood - country living without leaving harlow behind



The setting deserves particular attention.

Savoy Wood is a quiet residential cul-de-sac positioned on the south-western fringe of Harlow, close to Jacks Hatch and the boundary with Epping Forest district. Local property information specifically highlights the area's proximity to open fields, while Epping Green and Epping Upland lie immediately beyond this side of Harlow.

This gives residents a very different feel from more centrally positioned parts of the town. Within a matter of minutes it is possible to be heading through country lanes and rural Essex while still having schools, doctors, buses and shops close to home.

Another major local asset is Parndon Wood Nature Reserve, approximately a mile away depending on route. This remarkable ancient woodland has been recorded as woodland for more than 900 years and includes oak and coppiced hornbeam, wildlife trails and observation hides. It is designated for its important flora and provides a superb nearby destination for woodland walks and nature watching.

For buyers who enjoy walking, running, wildlife or simply being able to escape into green surroundings after work, Savoy Wood is particularly well placed.
Excellent local schools


Families have a strong selection of schools close to the property.

Milwards Primary School and Nursery is approximately 0.4 miles away and accepts children from age three. Its latest published Ofsted inspection outcome is Good, with Good judgements across quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and early-years provision.

Water Lane Primary Academy is approximately 0.5 miles away and is also currently rated Good by Ofsted, while Kingsmoor Academy, approximately 0.5-0.6 miles away, also carries a Good Ofsted rating following an inspection in 2025.

For secondary-age children, St Mark's West Essex Catholic School is approximately 1.8 miles away and has a current overall Ofsted judgement of Good. Passmores Academy, approximately 2.2 miles away, is another Good-rated secondary option.

As always, prospective purchasers should confirm individual school catchment areas and admissions criteria directly with the relevant school or local authority.
Buses - excellent for getting into town



Public transport is particularly convenient.

The closest recorded bus stop, at Sumners Farm on Parsloe Road, is only around 136 metres from the CM19 5SQ postcode, with further stops around 380-500 metres away.

Current services include the number 5 between Sumners Farm and Harlow Town Centre, with a regular weekday timetable, while the number 31 also serves the Sumners Farm area.

This is particularly useful for teenagers, commuters and households wishing to reduce their reliance on the car.
Rail connections


Rail commuters have two useful stations within easy reach.

Harlow Town railway station is approximately 2.7 miles away, while Roydon station is approximately 2.9 miles away.

Harlow Town offers an excellent commuter service into London Liverpool Street, with Greater Anglia currently operating up to four trains per hour on weekdays. Services also connect towards Stratford, Tottenham Hale, Bishop's Stortford, Stansted Airport and Cambridge.

Roydon provides a valuable alternative and currently has up to three weekday trains per hour to London Liverpool Street, with the fastest published journey around 31 minutes.

For buyers travelling regularly into London, having two stations within roughly three miles is a considerable advantage.
Road connections


Road connections are another strength of the location.

Savoy Wood sits very close to Epping Road, providing convenient access south towards Epping and north back into Harlow. The A414, Harlow's principal east-west arterial route, provides connections towards Hertford in one direction and Chelmsford in the other, while also linking directly with the M11 at Junction 7.

From Savoy Wood, M11 Junction 7 is approximately 3-4 miles by road depending upon route, putting London, the M25, Bishop's Stortford, Stansted Airport and Cambridge within straightforward reach. Junction 7 connects directly with the A414.

For those needing the London Underground, Epping station is also readily accessible to the south and sits at the eastern end of the Central line, providing another commuting option into London.

Doctors, pharmacy & hospital

Local healthcare is particularly convenient.

The gp facilities at Doctor's Surgery - Barbara Castle Health Centre on Broadley Road are roughly half a mile from Savoy Wood, based on the respective postcode locations, while pharmacy facilities are also available around Sumners Hatch.

Harlow's principal acute hospital, Princess Alexandra Hospital, is approximately 2-21⁄2 miles away from the Savoy Wood area depending upon route. The hospital is located on Hamstel Road close to Harlow Town Centre.
Shopping & harlow town centre


Everyday shopping is well catered for locally, with the nearest supermarket options around 0.9 miles away and further shops in the Sumners and Staple Tye areas.

For a much wider selection, Harlow Town Centre is approximately 2-21⁄2 miles away.

Water Gardens Harlow provides major national retailers, restaurants and supermarket shopping, while nearby The Harvey Centre adds further shops, cafés, leisure and entertainment.

Together these make Harlow unusually self-contained for everyday family life: Major shopping, dining, healthcare, entertainment, transport and education can all be found within the town.
Things for families to do in harlow


Harlow is exceptionally well supplied with family attractions and green space.

Harlow Town Park extends to more than 160 acres and includes Pets' Corner, five gardens, an adventure playground, inclusive play area, outdoor gym, paddling pool, skate park, meadows and regular family events. Harlow Council also maintains 43 playgrounds across the town.

Pets' Corner remains a particular favourite and is free to enter, with farm animals alongside reindeer, llamas, alpacas, rare breeds, reptiles, fish and amphibians.

For indoor recreation, Harlow Leisurezone offers a 25-metre eight-lane swimming pool and learner pool together with family swimming, Kidzz Kingdom soft play, trampolining, go-karts and numerous children's activities.

Culture is equally well represented. Harlow Playhouse hosts theatre, music, comedy, dance and family productions, while Harlow Museum and Walled Gardens provides a free museum and family activities. Harlow's status as the world's first Sculpture Town also means families can explore more than 100 public sculptures around the town, including works associated with Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Auguste Rodin.

For a two-bedroom home, therefore, Savoy Wood offers access to a remarkably broad range of family activities.

Surrounding towns, villages & countryside

The property's position on Harlow's south-western edge also means some of west Essex and east Hertfordshire's most attractive villages and towns are exceptionally accessible.

Roydon and Nazeing lie close by to the west, with Roydon providing its own railway station and direct services into London. The surrounding River Stort and Lee Valley countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking and cycling.

Epping is approximately four miles to the south and offers an attractive traditional High Street together with the substantial commuting advantage of the Central line. Beyond the town lies magnificent Epping Forest, covering around 8,000 acres and offering more than 284 km of paths and trails.

To the west, Hoddesdon is approximately four miles away and provides further shopping and leisure amenities, while the wider Lee Valley Regional Park opens up a huge range of family activities including walking, cycling, nature reserves, horse riding, watersports, golf and children's attractions across its 26-mile park.

Sawbridgeworth, Bishop's Stortford and Stansted are readily accessible to the north and north-east, while Stansted Airport is approximately 12 miles from the postcode area.

It is this combination that makes the location so appealing: London commuting in one direction, Harlow's extensive amenities on the doorstep and genuine Essex countryside only moments from home.
In summary


This is a property that gets a great deal right.

At approximately 663 sq ft, the accommodation is well proportioned, with a particularly impressive 16'8" lounge/diner, attractive modern kitchen, two generous bedrooms and a stylish bathroom.

The enclosed rear garden provides excellent outdoor space for children, pets and entertaining, while Savoy Wood's cul-de-sac setting towards the edge of Harlow offers something increasingly difficult to find - the ability to walk towards open fields and countryside while remaining close to schools, shops, doctors, buses and excellent commuter connections.

Milwards Primary, Water Lane Primary and Kingsmoor Academy are all Good-rated schools within approximately half a mile; the nearest bus stop is barely more than 100 metres away; Harlow Town and Roydon stations are approximately three miles away; the M11 is easily accessible; and Harlow's town centre, hospital and extensive leisure amenities are all within a short drive.

For first-time purchasers, a young family, professional couple or downsizer wanting a well-presented home without giving up a garden, good-sized rooms or access to countryside, Savoy Wood represents an extremely attractive proposition. Early viewing is highly recommended.
