This top-floor one-bedroom apartment on Cressing Road offers a bright, low-maintenance home or straightforward buy-to-let in a modern development. The open-plan living area benefits from skylight windows and French doors to a private balcony, creating a light, airy feel. Allocated parking and attractive communal gardens add practical convenience.
The flat is well suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, easy-care property close to Braintree town centre and transport links. The kitchen includes integrated appliances and reasonable storage for the size; a loft cupboard and built-in storage help maximise space. EPC rating C and Council Tax Band B help keep ongoing costs moderate.
Buyers should note important leasehold costs: 105 years remain on the lease, with an annual service charge of £1,150 and ground rent of £150. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can increase running costs in colder months. The wider area records above-average crime levels, so prospective buyers should view and assess local streets and amenities personally.
Overall, this is a tidy, modern apartment offering a practical first home or rental opportunity with private outdoor space and parking. Lease and service-charge details should be verified by your solicitor before purchase.
