Summary - 22 Flitch End, St. Johns Avenue CM7 1GT
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Compact, commuter-friendly apartment with secure underground parking and station-side location.
Third-floor two-bedroom apartment with lift access
This modern two-bedroom third-floor apartment sits directly behind Braintree train station and a short walk from the town centre, ideal for commuters or first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance living. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space benefits from integrated appliances and a Juliette balcony that brings light into the main living area. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room, making the layout practical for couples or sharers.
Built as part of the Flitch End development, the block features lift access and secure underground parking with an allocated space. The apartments were designed with energy-saving measures in mind and use an air-source heating system; main heating operates via electric room heaters. The current lease has 118 years remaining and there are approximately five years left on the NHBC warranty.
Buyers should note the apartment’s overall size is compact (approximately 463 sq ft) and service charges and ground rent apply (service charge around £1,300 pa; ground rent £150 pa). Heating is electric rather than gas, which can affect running costs depending on tariffs. The local area is a mixed but generally affluent suburb with very low crime and fast broadband — useful for home working — while some nearby secondary schools are rated as ‘requires improvement’.
This property suits a purchaser who values location and convenience — immediate access to train services, local shops and leisure facilities — and is happy with a smaller, modern apartment and the ongoing leasehold costs. Early internal inspection will show how well the layout uses the compact footprint.
