This bright first-floor one-bedroom flat offers a compact, contemporary home close to Braintree town centre and the train station. At 330 sq ft it suits a single professional or couple wanting low-maintenance living and quick access to shops, transport and local amenities.
The apartment has an open-plan living/dining area with wood flooring, a fitted kitchen and a generous bathroom with separate shower. Electric storage heating and double glazing are already installed; the EPC is a strong B (82). Allocated off-street parking and communal bike rails add everyday convenience.
Practical facts are straightforward: the property is leasehold with c.175 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £75. It is sold with no onward chain for a faster sale. Note the flat is small in overall size and uses electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas heating.
Nearby schools are mostly rated Good, with some secondary options requiring improvement. The area has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but recorded crime is above average — worth checking if safety is a priority. This is a sensible, low-upkeep purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a centrally located, chain-free flat with clear refurbishment potential.
