We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Location - This property sits in arguably the best location in central Harlow, one of a row of Victorian cottages in the middle of Harlow Town Park, over which it enjoys lovely views to the front, so very well-positioned for everything that the town has to offer, but with green open-spaces to enjoy right on your doorstep.
Harlow Town Park is a 160 acre award-winning Grade II Listed public space, renowned for its wide ranging attractions including water garden, adventure playground, pet's corner farm, paddling pool, skate park and scenic gardens.

Harlow town centre is also easily reached on foot and has a very good range of shops, supermarkets and other amenities including the Princess Alexandra Hospital, while the Old Town and surrounding villages have a selection of good pubs and local restaurants.
Harlow is surrounded by open countryside making the property perfect for keen walkers or cyclists, yet is also easily accessible by road with the M11 heading south to London and the M25 and the A414 providing easy access to the A10 and beyond.
