This first-floor, one-bedroom maisonette is a compact, chain-free purchase with a very long lease (957 years). At about 334 sq ft, it suits a single buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into Braintree, with communal gardens and off-street parking included. Council tax is low, and mobile signal is excellent.
The accommodation is straightforward: open-plan living with a separate bed area, a small kitchen, and a bathroom with shower over bath. The building dates from the 1980s and has double glazing (install date not recorded). Heating is by electric room heaters; there is no communal gas supply.
Practical considerations: the property needs light updating — worn carpets and general modernisation are evident. Energy performance is D and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect working-from-home needs. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, so buyers should review local safety information.
Strengths include the long lease, chain-free sale, communal outdoor space, and proximity to schools, shops and Braintree town/rail links. For a buyer willing to improve interior finishes and accept electric heating, this is a low-cost entry or letting opportunity in an affluent neighbourhood classification.
