Freshly redecorated, long lease and private garden — ideal first-time buy or rental opportunity.
One-bedroom ground-floor maisonette with private rear garden
A freshly decorated one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette in central Braintree, offered with no onward chain and newly laid carpets. The property delivers comfortable, low-maintenance living with gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC C (71). The lounge is bright and the kitchen opens directly to a private rear garden with patio and shed — a rare outside space for a ground-floor flat.
Practical for first-time buyers or downsizers, the home includes driveway parking for one car and a long lease (around 122 years). Service charges have risen recently due to roof works (current year showing £2,543.79), and ground rent is £250 pa; ordinarily service costs are nearer £600–£800 pa. The concrete storage shed is shared with the upper neighbour.
Location is a strong selling point: short walks to the town centre, Braintree Shopping Outlet Village and local railway connections to London. Nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good, and broadband and mobile signals are strong. Note the wider area records higher crime levels, so buyers should factor that into their plans.
This is a straightforward, move-in-ready property that suits someone seeking central convenience and a private garden without major renovation. It also has reasonable rental or starter-home potential, but buyers must budget for ongoing leasehold costs and be comfortable with the local area safety profile.
