Summary - 316 BROAD ROAD, BRAINTREE CM7 5NW
2 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Spacious plot and single-storey living with extension potential (STPP)..
Chain free detached bungalow on circa a fifth of an acre plot
A single-storey detached bungalow set on an unusually large, wrap-around plot of about a fifth of an acre — ideal for buyers seeking easy, ground-floor living with private outdoor space. The home currently provides two double bedrooms, a dual-aspect living/dining room, conservatory and a kitchen/diner, all arranged for straightforward, single-level use. The detached garage (with power) and gated in-and-out driveway offer convenient parking and storage.
The property is offered chain-free and sits close to Braintree town centre and mainline rail links, with local shops, bus routes and countryside walks nearby. There is clear potential to extend (STPP) if you want to increase living space or reconfigure the layout; planning has not yet been submitted or granted. Practical benefits include double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating and a very low council tax band.
Buyer note: the bungalow dates from the mid-20th century and has cavity walls assumed to be uninsulated, so some energy-efficiency and refurbishment work may be desirable. The single shower room and circa 625 sq ft total mean the accommodation is compact — good for downsizers or those seeking a manageable home, but limited for larger households without extension. No flood risk is recorded for the area.
For someone wanting a low-step, private home with large gardens and clear scope to add value, this detached bungalow offers a straightforward canvas in a well-connected town location.
