Set on South Street in the heart of Braintree, this compact Victorian mid-terrace offers clear renovation potential and practical town-centre living. The house has a straightforward, traditional layout with two reception rooms, an extended kitchen area, and an interconnecting room off the principal bedroom that can serve as a third bedroom, dressing room or study.
Highlights include off-street driveway parking for two cars, small front and rear gardens, and a location within easy walking distance of the railway station and local shops. The property is freehold and being sold with no onward chain, making it suitable for buyers wanting a relatively quick purchase and a hands-on project.
The house requires renovation throughout: cosmetic updating, likely insulation improvements to solid brick walls, and general modernisation. The property has double glazing fitted before 2002, a gas boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of D (64). Rooms are generally small, so buyers should expect compact living spaces rather than large family rooms.
Important practical points: the area records very high crime levels, the plot is small, and the house dates from before 1900 so older construction considerations may apply. This is best suited to a buyer seeking a lower-price entry into a central location who is prepared to invest time and money to modernise and improve energy performance.
