Summary - 39 Park Drive CM7 1AP
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Chain-free renovation project with generous parking and commuter links.
Detached single-storey bungalow on a large plot with long rear garden
Set on a generous plot in a quiet Park Drive location, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers a rare single-storey layout with off-street parking for 3–4 cars and a long rear garden. The house is chain-free, double-glazed (installed post-2002) and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, giving a practical base for immediate occupation or rental while you plan improvements.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: the kitchen needs replacing, general decorative updating is needed, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. The EPC rating is E and the property shows mid-20th century fittings and finishes, so buyers should budget for upgrades and possible insulation work to improve energy efficiency.
Location is a key strength for family buyers: well-placed for local shops, playgrounds and schools rated Good nearby, with Braintree town centre and the branch line station within a short drive for commuting to London Liverpool Street. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity.
This bungalow will suit buyers looking for renovation potential and outside space in an affluent area. It may also appeal to investors seeking a straightforward refurbishment project with good parking and garden, but note the above-average local crime rate and the need to factor in energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic renovation costs.
