Summary - 21, THAMES CLOSE, BRAINTREE CM7 3XL
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-level, low-maintenance home with garden and parking for downsizers.
Two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and garden access
A practical two-bedroom retirement bungalow on Thames Close, offered with no onward chain and immediate move-in potential. The single-storey layout and wet room suit downsizers who want all principal rooms on one level, while double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
The property has an easy-care west-facing rear garden, off-street parking and an 816 sq ft footprint that feels average in size for bungalow living. The fitted kitchen and lounge/dining room give straightforward living space; bedroom two has fitted wardrobes and French doors to the garden.
Important tenure details: this is a leasehold retirement property (lease 99 years from 2015, c.89 years remaining). Buyers should factor in leasehold arrangements and obtain professional checks on lease terms and any service charges. Note the area records higher-than-average local crime; purchasers may wish to review local security and safety provisions.
This home works well for over-55s seeking low-maintenance, single-level living close to local amenities and good primary schools. It offers a solid, practical base with scope to personalise rather than a fully refurbished show-home.
