87, Parkfields, Harlow, CM19 5JA

Four bedrooms, properly extended and not a thing left to do.

Set on a quiet residential road, this one's had the full treatment, a double rear extension, underfloor heating right through the ground floor and finishes that don't cut corners.

Move in, unpack and get on with life. A spacious hallway leads you into a bright front lounge with a bay window and a fireplace that actually gets used.

There's a separate dining room with built in storage and out back what was once a conservatory is now a proper garden room, complete with solid roof, skylight and underfloor heating, so it works in January as well as July.

The kitchen is the one that'll sell it. Bespoke units, a Rangemaster range, a wine fridge, a breakfast island, storage for everything.

A utility area sits just off it, along with a downstairs W/C the practical stuff, sorted. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a retreat with a walk in wardrobe and modern en-suite.

Three further bedrooms (two doubles, one good sized single) and a stylish family bathroom with a shower over the bath and heated towel rail.

Outside: A block-paved driveway with room for multiple cars.

The garden's easy to live with, two tiers of decking, one under a pergola with LED lighting for evenings that run late, a lawn with raised beds and an outbuilding with power that could be an office, a gym or a workshop, depending what you need it for.

Roydon itself has real community feel, with Epping just a short drive away for the wider shops, high street and tube link into London.

It was named the Telegraph's best commuter town, the transport links, the green space, the quality of life all add up.

The station's on the Stansted Express line, so it's around 30 minutes to Liverpool Street and you've got easy access to the M11, M25 and A10 too.

Local shops, a post office, pharmacy, cricket and tennis clubs, riverside walks and Roydon Marina Village for a proper Sunday and with a new M&S flagship store on the way nearby, there's even more coming to the doorstep.

A family home with the space to grow and a village that's only getting better around it.
