Summary - VICTORIA COURT FLAT 56 RAILWAY STREET BRAINTREE CM7 3JZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance, centrally located retirement flat with communal facilities and 24-hour support.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with lift access
This purpose-built retirement apartment on the second floor offers a newly renovated one-bedroom layout designed for low-maintenance living. The block includes a lift, communal gardens, residents’ lounge, laundry and communal parking, while a 24-hour Appello emergency call system provides continuous assistance.
The flat is presented in good condition throughout and measures about 442 sq ft, with a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room. Double glazing and cavity insulation are in place; heating is by electric storage heaters, which are simple to use but can be costly compared with gas.
Practical strengths include excellent mobile reception, fast broadband potential, and close walking distance to Braintree town centre and local transport links. Important considerations: the property is leasehold, the local crime level is recorded as very high, and communal parking is shared rather than allocated. Buyers should note communal service charges and check lease length and ground rent before purchase.
This apartment will suit a downsizer or someone seeking a low-upkeep retirement base close to amenities, with communal support and social facilities on site. It also has potential for investors targeting retirement lettings, subject to lease terms and council regulations.
