Summary - Badger Mount, Braintree, CM7 CM7 2DE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Energy-efficient two-bedroom with communal garden, two parking spaces and town access.
Approximately 744 sq ft ground-floor open-plan reception and kitchen
This well-presented ground-floor apartment offers roomy, practical living across approximately 744 sq ft. The open-plan reception and kitchen stretches to about twenty-five feet, with natural light at both ends, making it ideal for first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance, move-in-ready accommodation. Two double bedrooms and built-in storage cupboards in the entrance hallway add usable space for everyday living.
The building benefits from modern construction and energy-saving features: well insulated walls and floors, high-performance glazing and a modern gas boiler deliver a very good energy-efficiency rating and lower running costs. Outside, a south-facing communal garden provides pleasant outdoor space and two allocated parking spaces are included—convenient for owners with cars. Braintree town centre is within walking or cycling distance, and Oak Meadow Nature Reserve is close by for weekend walks.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (125 years from July 2020, c.121 years remaining) and currently shows a service charge of £162.35 pcm and an annual ground rent of £150. It is presently part-owned by a housing association but is offered for sale on the open market; on completion the full leasehold title transfers to the buyer. Pets are not permitted (except assistance animals).
Location factors to note include a higher local crime rate and an area classified as relatively deprived. Nearby state primary and secondary schools include a mix of Ofsted ratings; several primaries are rated Good but some nearby secondaries are rated as Requires Improvement. There is no flooding risk and local digital connectivity is strong. This flat suits buyers seeking efficient, central living with parking and outdoor communal space, who are comfortable with leasehold costs and the local area profile.
