A well-presented first-floor two-bedroom apartment in a modern brick development, offered chain-free and ready for a prompt sale. The flat provides a dual-aspect open-plan living/dining room, a separate kitchen, principal bedroom with en suite shower, and an additional family bathroom — a practical layout for first-time buyers or landlord portfolios.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, low-maintenance communal grounds and easy access to the A120/M11 corridor. Braintree Town Centre and the train station are within comfortable walking distance, and connectivity is strong with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds.
Buyers should note the lease has approximately 76 years remaining; some mortgage lenders may decline applications on shorter leases. Annual service charge and ground rent are significant: about £2,290 per year service charge and £150 annual ground rent. The property is heated by electric storage heaters, which can be costlier than gas options.
The location sits in a deprived area with a higher local crime rate than average, which will be an important consideration for families and some investors. Energy performance is reasonable (EPC C shown on brochure) and the flat was built between 2007–2011, so it offers modern construction and double glazing throughout.
