Set in the village-style area of Braintree, this one-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers period character and a private rear garden. The living room, fitted kitchen and upstairs bedroom create a compact, manageable home suited to a first-time buyer or small household. Bus links to Braintree and local amenities are within easy reach.
The property displays character features alongside practical systems: gas-fired central heating, double glazing installed after 2002 and an EPC rating of D. Interior rooms are small with generally low ceilings; decor is dated in places and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise potential. Timber-frame elements are noted and insulation is assumed to be lacking — further inspection is advised.
There is some ambiguity over age: the home is described as circa 1840 but records also note construction between 1930–1949. Tenure is listed as unknown here; a previous description claimed freehold but buyers should verify ownership status and any legal details before purchase. Council Tax Band B and relatively low running costs are positives for purchasers.
Overall this is a compact, characterful cottage with obvious scope for refurbishment or modernisation. It will suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable, village-setting home, or investors seeking a small rental in a well-connected area, provided they accept the property's size and update needs.
