Tucked away in a cul-de-sac on the ever-popular Abbeyfields development, Harrier Way is a four-bedroom detached home that the current owner has reimagined.
From the moment you step through the front door, the tone is set: Mandarin Stone tiled flooring underfoot, and glimpses of the garden beyond through crittall-style glazed doors. To one side, a versatile reception room currently configured as a home office, equally suited to a playroom, depending on how your family grows.
The Heart of the Home
The kitchen is where this house truly comes alive. Sage-green cabinetry sits beneath sweeping quartz worktops, carried up the walls as a quartz backsplash for a clean, seamless finish that's as practical as it is beautiful. A statement range cooker with an inbuilt air fryer takes centre stage, while the Samsung American-style fridge freezers beverage centre delivers ice-cold infused water on demand. For evenings in, an in-counter wine cooler with precise temperature control, and a quick-freeze function for the moments that call for it, keeps things effortlessly hosted.
Practicalities have been thought through with the same care: an instant hot and filtered water tap does away with the kettle altogether, and an Insinkerator food waste disposal means no more bins to think about. The kitchen flows naturally into a generous dining and family space, where full-width bifold doors fold back completely to dissolve the boundary between inside and out.
Bi-fold windows from the kitchen fold back to create a servery hatch to a garden bar directly onto the patio. Picture it: a bottle of something cold in the ice bucket, friends perched on stools outside, the television glowing softly through the open hatch, the days last light catching the trees beyond the fence.
Living Spaces
The adjoining sitting room is a study in calm, with a soft sage feature wall, slatted panelling, and underfoot engineered ghost oak flooring that runs throughout the living spaces. Surround sound ceiling speakers, WiFi-operated and controlled via a discreet wall panel, mean the right music follows you from room to room without a single visible wire.
A ground-floor WC continues the home's considered finish, with marble herringbone mosaic tiling that elevates what is so often an afterthought room into a genuine design moment.
Upstairs: Rest, Recharge, Retreat
The principal bedroom is designed with deep navy walls offset by warm timber slatting and a private contemporary en-suite wet room. A second double bedroom is a richly textured space with bold panelled wainscoting, while two further bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or another home office. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the first floor.
Throughout the home, black-on-black Georgian bar double glazing, including the bifold windows and doors, brings a crisp, architectural edge to every elevation, while oak doors with black metal ironmongery carry that same considered palette through every room. A new boiler and new double column radiators throughout mean the comfort here isn't just visual.
Outside
The rear garden is a genuine extension of the living space. A broad lawn framed by mature planting and a handsome specimen tree offering natural shade, a paved terrace for outdoor furniture, and that garden bar linking effortlessly back to the kitchen.
To the front, off-road parking and a garage complete the practical picture, all behind the homes' striking mock-Tudor gabled façade.
The Location
Harrier Way sits within the well-established Abbeyfields development, a setting prized for its quiet, residential feel without sacrificing connectivity. Families are well served by a good choice of local schools across all age groups, while Waltham Abbey's historic town centre and market square, with its variety of independent shops and places to eat, is just a mile away.
For commuters, Junction 26 of the M25 provides swift access to the A10, M11 and Stansted Airport, while Waltham Cross station, along with Loughton and Epping on the Central Line, keeps London within easy reach.
