This mentions the two cottages spoken of previously which seem to be part of the existing structure...
The gate-house, standing at the north-west of the west front, indicates the position of the north-west angle of the old west forecourt. It now faces into the High Street, and is a rectangular building of brick with an archway running through it near the north end. The porter's small room is to the north of this archway, but to the south of the entrance the gatehouse has been converted into two cottages, which have undergone much repair.
more about a fifth of the way down...details of it's location and surrounding area...

I think that is going to be the gatehouse to hatfield house, which is part of the main estate still.
Hatfield Hyde was part of the old estate, but was more of a hamlet nearby. The place they put the halt (if we're right as to where it was!) was a bit remote.
Steve...had another thought, I can think of a gatehouse nearby, but it might be Cole Green - its on the old A414 opposite the turn off to Letty Green, its set back from the road...it wouldnt be on the GNR line though.
Ash Street. The Ware Rd runs from the town centre roundabout up to just past the flyover. The houses on the left (heading to Ware) are at least Victorian, so it must have been on the other side. What year are you looking at?
The Police station was built for the New Towns Act, so probably early 50's - originally Harlow was going to be policed by Hertfordshire, with the divisional headquarters at Hertford, hence Harlow nick was actually very small for the size of town (only remedied in the last few years), whereas Herford was a tad large ! Great place to work, quieter than WGC, although Stortford was always a good run on an assistance shout.
Cheers
Pete.

The census would show roughly when the house was built, although i expect it does not pre-date the railway.
Is there a date on the house itself?
Did you try the museum at Mill Green at all.
How about popping a note though the door, maybe the folks in there have an idea of the history?
Cheers
Pete
