A compact two-bedroom first-floor apartment in the gated St Michael’s Mews development, positioned for easy access to Braintree town centre, shops and transport links. The open-plan lounge/dining room and double-glazed windows bring natural light to the living space, while the fitted kitchen and bathroom are serviceable and practical for everyday use.
This property suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a town-centre location with rental potential (estimated £1,200pcm). It includes a garage and secure courtyard setting, offering convenience and added security in a busy area.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 101 years remaining, an annual service charge around £2,000 and ground rent £200. The apartment is small (approximately 540 sq ft) and would benefit from cosmetic updating in places; prospective buyers should verify lease and service charge details with their solicitor.
Despite a C EPC rating and reasonably low council tax (Band B), the location records a very high local crime rate, which may concern some buyers. For those prioritising proximity to transport, amenities and straightforward rental income, this is a workable, affordable option with scope to add value through modest refurbishment.
