- Detached 1930s period home with original character features
- Four good-sized bedrooms and two large reception rooms
- Large, private rear garden backing onto playing fields
- Garage plus workshop and wide driveway for multiple cars
- No onward chain; freehold tenure
- Cavity walls likely uninsulated; expect insulation improvements
- First-floor wet-room instead of a conventional family bathroom
- Requires modernisation and has scope to extend (STPP)
A handsome four-bedroom 1930s detached home in a sought-after Braintree position, offered with no onward chain. The house retains many original features — stained-glass in the entrance, bay window and open fireplace — and provides immediately comfortable living with two large reception rooms and a practical kitchen/breakfast space.
Externally the property delivers significant everyday value: a large, private rear garden backing onto playing fields, a garage plus workshop, and a wide driveway with off-street parking for multiple cars. The plot is generous for the area and the rear is unoverlooked, making it an attractive family garden and entertaining space.
There is clear scope to update and extend (STPP) to increase living space and modernise services. The house was built circa 1930 and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated; buyers should budget for improvement works and potential maintenance associated with period properties. The first-floor wet-room rather than a modern family bathroom may suit some but will likely require alteration for others.
Convenience is a strength: a short walk to Braintree High Street, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, nearby schools rated Good, and local amenities including shops, recreation grounds and frequent buses. Freehold tenure and no chain simplify purchase for buyers ready to renovate and personalise.
