Offered chain-free, this two-bedroom Edwardian semi provides a straightforward first purchase or rental investment close to Braintree town and station. The house retains period features such as a front bay window and a feature fireplace, while living space is arranged over two reception rooms plus a compact fitted kitchen. A good-size rear garden, patio and useful outbuildings add outside practicality on a modest plot.
The accommodation is practical rather than show-home perfect: the property has solid-brick walls (likely uninsulated), an EPC rating of D and some cosmetic updating may be required to modernise finishes. The bathroom is a four-piece suite and the layout is functional for sharers or small families, yet buyers should note the accommodation totals about 631 sq ft.
Location is a clear strength — approximately 0.3 miles to Braintree town centre and 0.5 miles to Braintree train station with services to London, plus easy road links to the A120 and M11. Tenure is freehold and council tax is modest (Band B), which will appeal to first-time buyers and investors mindful of running costs.
Important practical points: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels compared with national averages, and the plot is small. These factors, together with the solid-wall construction and mid-century heating system, make this a property with sensible short-term maintenance needs and clear potential for value uplift after targeted improvement works.
