Summary - 5 St. Jude Court, Old St. Michaels Drive CM7 2AN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free ground-floor apartment in gated Georgian development, walking distance to station.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with private enclosed garden
A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment set within the gated, award-winning Old St. Michaels development, moments from Braintree town centre and the railway station. The open-plan living/kitchen area opens onto a private, enclosed courtyard garden, bringing light and outdoor space rare for an apartment of this size. One allocated parking space adds convenience for commuters.
The building has notable character as part of a Grade II late-Georgian development, with well-maintained communal grounds. The interior is presented in good order with a modern bathroom, contemporary fitted kitchen and gas central heating; the EPC is rated C. The long lease (160 years) is a clear positive for buyers.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge around £2,954 and ground rent about £300. It carries listed status, which may restrict alterations and could complicate future works or extensions. The development's location reports a very high crime level locally — buyers should check local crime maps and consider security and insurance implications.
Offered chain-free, this small two-bedroom apartment will suit first-time buyers or commuters seeking character, easy access to London, and a low-maintenance garden. Buyers wanting significant remodelling or major works should note the listed status and communal/service costs before proceeding.
