Chain-free three-bed with driveway, garden and easy rail links to London.
Three-bedroom semi-detached family home, freehold and chain-free
A three-bedroom semi-detached family home in CM7, offered freehold and chain-free, with driveway parking for two to three vehicles and a decent rear garden. The ground floor provides a welcoming living room, separate dining area and an open-plan kitchen that leads to an inner lobby with two brick storage units — these have scope for conversion to useful utility or cloakroom space. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a single family bathroom, suitable for young families or first-time buyers seeking straightforward, comfortable accommodation.
Positioned within walking distance of Braintree town centre, the train station (direct links to London Liverpool Street) and several primary and secondary schools, the location is a key strength for daily commutes and school runs. The property has mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators and double glazing fitted after 2002, which helps with energy efficiency and comfort.
Buyers should note practical negatives: the area records above-average crime and higher local deprivation indicators, and the property is in a multi-ethnic hardship classification — factors to consider for resale and insurance. The house has one bathroom only and the inner lobby’s brick storage units are currently basic and would need conversion works to become fully functional living or utility space. An offer has been accepted subject to contract but viewings remain possible.
