This compact two-bedroom semi-detached house sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, a short walk from Braintree town centre and the railway station. The property offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with off-street parking for two cars, a courtyard garden, and gas central heating — practical features that suit a first-time buyer or small household seeking commuter convenience.
The internal layout is efficient but modest: a living room, kitchen, lean-to and two first-floor bedrooms with loft access. Both bedrooms have skylights and restricted head height, so the upstairs feels cozier than standard rooms. The home is double glazed and was built in the 1990s, so major structural updates are unlikely, but buyers should budget for cosmetic upgrading to personalise the space.
Location is a clear strength: fast road links (A120/A131), direct rail services into London, and local amenities including schools and Braintree Village outlet are all nearby. Note the wider area is classified as having higher deprivation and an audience of endeavouring social renters, which may affect longer-term market dynamics and rental demand.
This freehold property is offered with a modest guide price and low council tax, making it an accessible purchase for those entering the market. Viewings will suit buyers who prioritise commute times and manageable running costs, and who are comfortable with a compact, slightly constrained upstairs layout.
