Summary - Cressing Road, Braintree, CM7 CM7 3PQ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Large plot and period charm — needs renovation, strong extension potential.
Large plot approaching half an acre with mature, private garden
A substantial 1930s detached family house on an unusually large plot approaching half an acre. The property retains original period features and offers a flexible traditional layout with three bedrooms, an additional small room ideal for a study or dressing room, and two reception rooms. It sits well back from the road with a long driveway and garage.
The house is a clear project: it needs full renovation and modernisation throughout (single bathroom, dated kitchen, likely no wall insulation despite cavity construction). There is scope for side and rear extensions, subject to usual consents, so buyers seeking to increase living space or add value will find genuine potential.
Practical positives include mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The plot’s privacy, mature planting and room for landscaping make it appealing for family life and outdoor entertaining. Local amenities, several 'Good' primary schools and a choice of secondary schools are nearby, and Braintree Village train station is about a 15-minute walk.
Note the wider area indicators: low crime and good transport links contrast with higher local deprivation statistics. The property is offered freehold and presents a rare opportunity for buyers prepared to renovate to create a spacious, characterful home.
