Step into this well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home in a sought-after Mill Park Drive development, ideal for first-time buyers seeking convenience and low-maintenance living. The ground floor offers a living room with understairs storage and an open-plan kitchen/diner with integrated appliances and French doors to the enclosed rear garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the principal with fitted wardrobes and an en suite, plus a family bathroom and boarded loft for extra storage.
Practical benefits include off-street block-paved parking for two to three vehicles, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing, and freehold tenure. The location is a key asset: about 0.3 miles from Braintree Freeport train station (direct links to London) and within walking distance of Braintree Shopping Village and local schools rated Good.
Considerations: the property sits on a small plot and is an average-sized 776 sq ft home, so families needing extensive outdoor space or multiple reception rooms may find it restrictive. One nearby secondary school has an Ofsted rating of Requires Improvement. The build and glazing date (1996–2002, glazing installed before 2002) suggest standard maintenance rather than recent refurbishment.
Overall this is a tidy, modern starter home in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It suits buyers prioritising transport links, local amenities and low-maintenance living, with potential to personalise the interior over time.
