Summary - Dovehouse Field, Braintree CM77 8GP
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
New-build open-plan flat ideal for first-time buyers seeking manageable costs.
50% shared-ownership price shown, part-buy part-rent arrangement
A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment offered as a 50% shared-ownership purchase, suited to first-time buyers looking to step on the ladder with a smaller upfront cost. The home is part of a new-build development and comes with a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and fitted flooring throughout. The open-plan living area and good storage create a practical, low-maintenance layout for daily life.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus convenient access to the A120/A131 and a nearby rail station for commuting. Local primary schools are rated Good and Outstanding, which is helpful for young families or future planning. The apartment totals approximately 771 sq ft and feels larger than many typical two-bed flats thanks to its open-plan design and medium-sized rooms.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold property sold via Shared Ownership (50% share shown), so there will be an ongoing service charge and a subsidised rent on the unsold share. The wider area records above-average crime statistics, which should be factored into any decision. Buyers should check exact service charge levels, lease length and staircasing terms before committing.
Overall, this apartment offers a modern, low-maintenance base for a purchaser aiming to buy with a smaller deposit and mortgage. It delivers straightforward, contemporary living and clear potential to increase ownership later through staircasing, provided buyers are comfortable with the shared-ownership and leasehold arrangements.
