Summary - 1 FRIARS LANE CM7 9BL
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact, chain-free cottage with period charm and easy rail links — ideal for first-time buyers..
Two-bedroom period cottage with open fireplace
A compact two-bedroom period cottage on a quiet no-through lane, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupancy. The living room retains an open fireplace and some period character, while a modern bathroom and double-glazed windows provide practical updates. Gas central heating keeps running costs modest and the property is Freehold.
Externally the property has a small courtyard garden — useful for plants and outdoor seating but not large enough for extensive landscaping or parking. The layout and overall footprint are small (approximately 549 sq ft), so the home will suit first-time buyers, couples or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance central location rather than a large family house.
Practical points to note: the building is of traditional timber-frame construction with no confirmed insulation in the walls (assumed), EPC currently D with potential improvement, and on-street parking is restricted. The location is handy — roughly 0.8 miles from Braintree Town rail station with good road links to the A120 and Stansted — making commuting feasible. An internal viewing will quickly show whether the compact layout and character match your needs.
