A compact, chain-free period home a short walk from Braintree town centre and railway station, suited to first-time buyers or commuters. The property offers a practical lounge/diner, two upstairs bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom — a sensible layout for everyday living. Double glazing and gas central heating make it ready to occupy, while its small rear garden provides easy outdoor space without heavy upkeep.
The house is modest in size (approximately 483 sq ft) and built before 1900, so it carries period character alongside some limitations. The cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), and buyers should budget for potential improvements to heating efficiency. Services and appliances have not been tested, so an independent survey is recommended to confirm condition and running costs.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax, and no onward chain for a quicker purchase. Be aware neighbours have right of access to the rear, and the plot and rooms are compact — this is a small home offering manageable maintenance rather than expansive living space. For anyone seeking an affordable entry into Braintree with good transport links, this property presents straightforward potential.
