Summary - ALBERT COURT FLAT 3 RAILWAY STREET BRAINTREE CM7 3JU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, low-maintenance flat near town and station for relaxed living.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment for over-60s, chain-free purchase
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment designed for over-60s, offering a low-maintenance lifestyle close to Braintree town centre and the train station. The flat is chain-free so a buyer can move quickly; communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry room, lift access and communal gardens for socialising.
Practical features include residents’ parking, a 24-hour emergency Appello care line and built-in bedroom wardrobes. The lease has about 104 years remaining, which is healthy for a leasehold purchase, and the building is modern with double glazing fitted after 2002.
Notable costs and considerations are the relatively high annual service charge (around £3,200) and ground rent (£390), plus electric storage heaters which can increase running costs. The apartment is small (circa 431 sq ft) and has no private garden; prospective buyers should be comfortable with compact living.
The property sits within easy walking distance of local shops, bus links and Braintree station for direct trains to London. Be aware the local recorded crime level is very high, so check personal safety and security arrangements before committing.
