Sheering Drive, Harlow, CM17

Durden & Hunt presents an exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinguished heritage estate of outstanding character and prestige. Set within the historic surroundings of Old Harlow and occupying over 2.5 acres of beautifully established grounds, the estate comprises three separate dwellings, each exquisitely rich in original period features and timeless architectural detail. Together, they offer a remarkable blend of grandeur, versatility, and historic charm, presenting a unique lifestyle opportunity of considerable luxury and significance.

Main Residence:
The main residence is a beautiful Grade II listed detached home, dating back to the 16th–17th century, approached via a private driveway. The entrance hall leads to a selection of elegant reception rooms, including a dual-aspect dining room, with period features showcased throughout. Further accommodation includes a guest WC, a traditional kitchen complete with pantry, and an adjoining utility room, all blending everyday practicality with historic character.

The property also benefits from an integrated annexe, offering excellent potential for multigenerational living or guest accommodation, comprising a bedroom, kitchenette area, and wet room, providing comfort and independence.

Upstairs there are six bedrooms. Two benefit from dual-access en suites, while a third enjoys its own private en suite. One of the bedrooms is currently configured as a dedicated dressing room, adding a further touch of refinement. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Additional Dwellings:
The Grade II listed estate is further enhanced by two additional dwellings, each enjoying their own private gardens. The first is a charming residence, featuring a spacious open-plan living and dining area, complemented by a galleried landing that creates an impressive and versatile entertaining space.

The second dwelling is currently utilised as an exceptional office space, though it was previously a fully liveable four bedroom residence and could readily be converted back, subject to necessary planning permission. Both properties are ideally suited to multi-generational living or guest accommodation, while also offering strong potential for rental income.

Grounds:
The estate is set within spectacular landscaped grounds, offering a peaceful and private haven extending to over 2.5 acres. The gardens are beautifully arranged with formal lawns and mature planting, complemented by a full size tennis court and a luxurious swimming pool, creating an exceptional lifestyle setting. A selection of garaging, including both double and single garages, provides ample space for multiple vehicles. To the front, a grand driveway provides ample parking and a distinguished approach to this remarkable residence, perfectly complementing its elegance and scale.

Situated in the historic and sought-after Old Harlow, this distinguished residence enjoys village charm with modern convenience. Local amenities include boutique shops, cafés, and excellent schools, while Harlow Mill and Harlow Town stations provide swift rail access to London Liverpool Street, and the nearby M11 ensures easy road connections. The area is renowned for its expansive parks and open green spaces, offering a peaceful, scenic backdrop.

Please note that all three dwellings are separately assessed for Council Tax and hold individual EPC ratings. Further details are available upon request.
