A Wonderful Opportunity to Step Onto the Property Ladder

Looking for your first home without compromising on space, style or outdoor space? This beautifully presented two bedroom second floor apartment at Gilden Park could be the perfect place to take your next step.

Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, creating a sociable and versatile space for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying everyday life. The contemporary kitchen features stylish fitted units and integrated appliances, combining practicality with a modern finish.

The property benefits from two well proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for a growing household, home office, guest room or simply additional space for your lifestyle. The modern bathroom is finished with sleek fittings and provides a practical yet stylish space.

One of the standout features is the private balcony, accessed from the living area. Whether you are enjoying your morning coffee, unwinding after a busy day or simply stepping outside for some fresh air, it provides a lovely extension of the living space.

There is also allocated parking, with visitor bays available nearby, adding further convenience for both residents and guests.

Location is another major attraction. Harlow Mill train station is approximately one mile away, providing direct connections towards London, Stansted Airport and Cambridge, making this an excellent choice for commuters and those who value easy access to wider destinations. The property is also conveniently positioned for the M11, local public transport and Harlow town centre, where you’ll find a range of shops, restaurants, amenities and everyday conveniences.

With two bedrooms, a private balcony, allocated parking and modern open-plan living, this is a home that offers both comfort and flexibility, making it particularly appealing to first-time buyers, couples, small families or those looking to downsize without compromising on space.

You can then have the opportunity to purchase additional shares in the future — known as “staircasing” — with the rent reducing as further shares are purchased.

Properties within Gilden Park are consistently in demand, particularly those available through Shared Ownership.
