This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunnyside, Braintree, offers straightforward family living with strong transport links and practical outdoor space. The layout provides a living room, separate dining room, kitchen and first-floor bedrooms — a familiar, flexible plan for family life.
Stand-out practical features include off-street parking for up to three vehicles, a decent rear garden with fruit trees, and a brick outbuilding with power, light and plumbing — useful for hobbies, storage or a home workshop. The property is within walking distance of Braintree town centre, the railway station (links to London Liverpool Street) and several primary and secondary schools.
There are clear maintenance and neighbourhood considerations to note. The house dates from c.1930–1949 and has solid brick walls that are likely uninsulated; some internal updating is apparent (hallway/stairs) and the home has only one family bathroom. The wider area scores as deprived with higher crime levels, so buyers should factor neighbourhood context, potential work to improve energy efficiency, and personal security measures into their plans.
For families or buyers seeking a centrally located home with parking, garden and scope to improve, this property presents good practical value. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to everyday convenience. Interested buyers should view early and budget for modest modernisation and potential insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades.
