Harlow England

My husband (British) and I (New Zealand) live just south of Old Harlow and North of Epping (the end of the Central Line / 10 mins drive to the M11/M25) in a 12-month-old 3 story, 4-bedroom, 4 bathroom detached house which sits directly opposite a small lake and forest/woodland area. We also have an office with 2 sets of double screens and great internet if anyone works from home! Our neighbors are amazing and always on hand if needed and we are within walking distance of local amenities, including 2 good cafés for your morning coffee! There are a couple of large Tesco superstores approximately 5 minutes drive away and a range of other retail park shops – there are also a couple of lovely pubs walking distance. We have just rescued a puppy from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and while he is a large breed dog (at 7 months old Atlas was about 45kgs/7 stone), we are integrating him well into the local neighborhood and raising him like a big soppy Labrador. Atlas isn’t allowed upstairs (there is a gate at the bottom of the stairs) and there is an additional lounge on the 2nd floor for some time away from Atlas if needed! By the time Christmas 2024 arrives, Atlas will be 16 months old. While the house is newly furnished, we haven’t even started on the garden so there is no upkeep needed at all. You'd be more than welcome to stay a few days on either side of the travel dates to get used to the house, the area, and of course, Atlas if needed :-)
