Summary - 42 NOTLEY ROAD BRAINTREE CM7 1HQ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three bedrooms with period character and sash-style windows
A characterful three-bedroom family home on Notley Road, offering period features and practical modern upgrades. Sash-style windows, exposed brick and fireplaces give the house its charm while double glazing and mains gas central heating provide day-to-day comfort. The property is freehold and sits within easy walking distance of Braintree train station, local schools and town centre amenities — convenient for commuters and family life.
The layout includes a versatile fully heated basement (useful as a home office, gym or playroom), a medium-sized lounge and a separate dining area. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and a pantry, and there is off-street parking for two to three cars at the rear. Outside, the low-maintenance rear garden with decking, shingle and artificial lawn suits busy households wanting minimal upkeep.
Buyers should note some important practical points: the building is a period property (constructed before 1900) with timber-frame walls reported as having no insulation (assumed). The area records a very high crime level locally, and the house has a single bathroom and a relatively small third bedroom. Services and appliances have not been tested and a professional survey is recommended to confirm condition and any retrofit insulation or improvement costs.
Overall this mid-Victorian semi offers a strong mix of period character and everyday practicality for families or commuters seeking a well-located, low-maintenance home with parking and flexible living space. Its size is average for the type, and the property will suit buyers prepared to commission standard checks before purchase.
