Set on a generous plot in a comfortable Braintree neighbourhood, this three-bedroom detached house offers practical family living with clear scope to personalise. The ground floor flows from an entrance hall to a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and dining room, with a handy utility and downstairs WC for day-to-day convenience. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom.
Outside, the property benefits from substantial off-street parking and a low-maintenance private garden with patio and lawn — ideal for children’s play and summer entertaining. Constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s, the house has double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, making it comfortable now while offering sensible potential for modernisation where desired.
Notable positives include freehold tenure, a large plot, and quick access to local schools, shops and transport links into central London. Be upfront that the house has one family bathroom and an EPC rating of D; buyers wanting more bathrooms or greener running costs may wish to plan upgrades. Also note local crime levels are reported above average, which may influence security and insurance considerations.
This home will suit families seeking space, outdoor area and scope to add value — either by modest modernisation or by reconfiguring accommodation — while appreciating proximity to amenities and good local schools.
