Summary - 54 MEADOW PARK BRAINTREE CM7 1TD
2 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Low-maintenance two-bed retirement home with south-facing courtyard and private parking.
Gated retirement community — purchasers must be 55+
A well-proportioned two-bedroom chalet bungalow set within a gated retirement community on Meadow Park Village, offered with vacant possession for purchasers aged 55+. The home combines easy low-maintenance living with practical features: a ground-floor bedroom and shower room, an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area opening onto a south-facing courtyard, and a principal bedroom suite on the first floor.
The development provides communal facilities that add convenience and social options — residents’ lounge, library, guest suite and a shuttle service into Braintree town centre (circa 0.9 miles). Practical benefits include a private off-street parking space, further residents’ parking, good broadband and strong mobile signal, and low local crime.
Important tenure and costs are straightforward but material: the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,888 (£324 pcm) and ground rent of £500 per year. These running costs are typical for managed retirement developments but will affect overall affordability.
Accessibility is generally good but note the first floor is reached by stairs; a fitted stair lift is currently installed and can remain if required. The courtyard garden is south-facing and low-maintenance, suited to easy outdoor use rather than extensive gardening or large gatherings.
This property will suit buyers seeking a manageable, secure retirement home near Braintree town centre, who are comfortable with leasehold costs and prefer a community with on-site amenities and support.
