This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers an accessible first-home option within easy walking distance of Braintree town centre. Set in a small gated development of just seven homes, the flat benefits from an allocated parking space, visitor bays and sunny French doors that open onto well-kept communal gardens.
The layout is practical: a generous L-shaped living/dining room, fitted kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms, a wet room and a separate en-suite cloakroom. Useful built-in storage includes cupboards for the boiler, water softener and laundry appliances. Secondary glazing is fitted to several windows and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators.
Practical considerations are important here. The property is leasehold (long lease remaining), with an annual service charge around £1,490 and a small ground rent. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area shows higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators; prospective buyers should factor location-related risks into their decision. Services and appliances have not been tested and a survey is advised.
For a first-time buyer seeking easy access to local shops, schools and transport, this apartment provides low-maintenance living, secure gated access and outside space without stair-climbing. It suits those prioritising convenience and a ready-to-move-in flat, while buyers wanting strong rental yields or quieter neighbourhood metrics should investigate local market data and safety records further.
