1-bedroom Penthouse for rent at The Hornbeams, Harlow, CM20

Unique One-Bedroom Fully Furnished Apartment

Rent: £1,200 per calendar month

The advertised rent of £1,200 pcm is the maximum asking rent. We are open to reasonable offers below the advertised rent for the right tenant. Finding someone who is reliable, will look after the property and is a good fit for the flat is more important to us than simply achieving the highest possible rent.

This unique one-bedroom fully furnished apartment offers modern open-plan living with plenty of storage and is ready to move into straight away. You’ll mainly just need your clothes and personal belongings. The only thing you may wish to bring is a TV and stand.

If you were comparing this flat to a car, think of a Mini. A Mini is small and compact by design, but clever use of space makes it feel much bigger and gives you everything you actually need. That is exactly what makes this apartment so unique.

At approximately 28m², the flat was originally designed by the landlord as his own home and specifically designed to make the best possible use of a smaller space. It gives you a bedroom, separate living area, fully operational kitchen, bathroom, excellent storage and your own balcony – all within a very compact apartment.

It is an excellent space for one person and could also suit a couple. The bedroom has a 4ft small double bed, rather than a standard full-size double, so this is worth bearing in mind if two people are considering the property.

The living area has a sofa bed, giving you the flexibility for a friend or family member to occasionally stay overnight. The flat wasn't originally designed with a family or children in mind, simply because of its compact size.

One of the nicest features is the sitting area leading directly onto the balcony, where the sun moves from one side to the other throughout the day, giving you a lovely outside space to sit and relax.

The bathroom has both a shower and a small bath. You can certainly have a bath, but it isn't a full-size bath and may not be suitable for a taller person wanting to stretch out.

I’m looking for someone reliable who will look after the property, communicate openly with the landlord, report any maintenance or management issues promptly and cooperate with reasonable access when repairs, servicing or inspections are required. I’m also happy to carry out some routine inspections by WhatsApp/video where practical.

The property has recently benefited from a brand-new mattress and new carpet.
