Set within a converted historic building, this two-double-bedroom apartment combines period character with contemporary living. The open-plan kitchen/living room benefits from high ceilings, four large windows and French doors that open onto a private courtyard — a rare outside space for a city-centre apartment. Allocated off-street parking and gas radiator central heating add everyday convenience.
The property has clear strengths for a first-time buyer: long lease (approximately 159 years remaining), EPC rating C and no onward chain, so a straightforward purchase is possible. The shower room is a distinctive, vaulted, tiled space with exposed brick that reflects the building’s past and provides a high-spec finish. At about 625 sq ft, the layout is compact but practical, with flexible room two usable as a bedroom, study or dining room.
Buyers should note material ongoing costs and local factors: current service charge is around £2,574 per year and ground rent is £300 per year. The wider area records very high local crime levels, which will be an important consideration for many purchasers. The apartment sits in a gated development close to Braintree town centre and transport links, but internal viewing is recommended to assess space and condition for yourself.
This home suits someone seeking characterful, low-maintenance city living with outside space and parking—ideal for first-time buyers who value a ready-to-move-in property with period features, yet should budget for service charges and factor local safety statistics into their decision.
