This smartly presented two-bedroom coach house sits on the first (top) floor of a modern, detached building and offers a practical, low-maintenance home. At about 850 sqft the open-plan kitchen/reception is light and dual-aspect, with double doors opening onto a balcony — a useful extra for fresh air and morning sun. Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles and the bathroom is sleek and contemporary. High-performance glazing, full insulation and gas central heating contribute to a very good energy-efficiency rating and lower running costs.
Practical advantages include an allocated car-port with under-stairs storage/utility space and a private ground-floor entrance with stairs up to the apartment. The property is close enough to Braintree town centre and the railway station for bus or a short cycle, with Oak Meadow Nature Reserve nearby for outdoor walks. Service charge and ground rent are modest for this type of development, and the lease has about 114 years remaining (125 from 01/07/2020).
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold and has been part-owned by a housing association but is being sold as a 100% open-market title on completion. The neighbourhood scores as higher-crime and relatively deprived, and several nearby state schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes. These local factors may affect suitability for some buyers and impact resale or rental demand.
Overall this is a sensible choice for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a modern, energy-efficient two-bedroom in reach of town amenities. It offers straightforward living, low upkeep and parking, but purchasers should factor the leasehold status, community profile and local school performance into their decision and carry out their own checks.
