This modern two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a small 2018 development suits a first-time buyer or professional couple seeking low-maintenance, well-connected living. The open-plan kitchen/living room is bright and efficiently arranged, and the development includes an allocated parking space and a communal garden with bike storage and patio.
Practical running costs are clear: a 118-year lease remains, ground rent is £200 per year and the service charge is approximately £1,000 per year. At roughly 474 sq ft the accommodation is compact—rooms are efficiently planned but will feel tight for buyers needing larger living or storage space.
Location is a key strength: a short walk to Braintree town centre and the mainline station with links to London. Broadband speeds are fast and the area is generally affluent, although local crime is above average; buyers should review lettings or security considerations if relevant.
Overall this is a convenient, contemporary starter home with low upkeep and good transport links. It offers straightforward potential for a buy-to-let investor or a first-time purchaser wanting move-in-ready accommodation, provided the compact size and service costs fit their needs.
