Chain-free two-bedroom semi with driveway, near town centre and station.
Two double bedrooms and dual-aspect lounge/diner
This chain-free, two-bedroom semi-detached home on Lancaster Way is a straightforward entry point to the Braintree market. The property offers two double bedrooms, a dual-aspect lounge/diner and off-street driveway parking — practical features for first-time buyers or downsizers. An outbuilding and a small rear garden add useful storage and outdoor space.
Internally the house is presented in neutral, modern tones with gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. The layout feels larger than its footprint suggests thanks to the dual-aspect reception room. There is potential to extend (subject to planning permission), so buyers wanting to add value or increase living space should investigate feasibility.
Be mindful of the wider location: the area has higher-than-average deprivation and reported crime levels, which may affect long-term resale and living preferences. The property is relatively small (approx. 517 sq ft) and built in the late 1960s–1970s with cavity walls that may lack added insulation, so expect potential energy-efficiency improvements. Overall, this is a pragmatic, low-entry purchase with clear scope for improvement and extension for those prepared to invest.
