Summary - 4 The Depot, Fairfield Road CM7 3AG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal commuter flat with low running costs and rental potential.
Heart of Braintree town centre, walk to mainline station
An immaculately presented first-floor studio in the heart of Braintree town centre, ideal for a first-time buyer or commuter. The apartment offers a bright lounge/sleeping area with a Juliet balcony, a separate modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a well-finished bathroom. At about 446 sq ft, the layout is compact but efficiently arranged for single-person living.
Practical running costs are favourable: EPC C, Council Tax Band A (very cheap), service charge £800 pa and ground rent £150 pa. The property is leasehold with around 107 years remaining; lease terms should be checked by your solicitor prior to exchange. The building was constructed in the early 2000s and the apartment has been newly renovated.
Location is a clear strength — the development sits in the town centre and is within walking distance of Braintree mainline station and local shops, cafes and services. Rent potential is advertised around £600 pcm, making the flat feasible for buy-to-let investors seeking central, low-maintenance stock.
Be aware of notable drawbacks: the studio is compact (single principal room plus separate kitchen) and the wider area records very high crime levels. These facts should be weighed against the convenience and low running costs when considering this property as a home or investment.
