Description

This charming four-bedroom detached home, built in the 1930s, is positioned on a desirable road within easy reach of Braintree High Street. The property presents a unique opportunity for renovation, allowing potential buyers to customize and modernize the living spaces to suit their preferences. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that features an original stained-glass window, setting a characterful tone for the rest of the home. The generous lounge benefits from a large bay window and an open fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to the lounge is a formal dining room that can also serve as a snug or additional living space. The kitchen/breakfast room offers ample space for culinary projects and family meals, while a convenient ground floor toilet and a sizable storage area/utility enhance practicality. The first floor accommodates four well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a family wet-room, providing plenty of space for personal retreat or guest accommodations. The outdoor space complements the interior nicely, featuring a well-maintained rear garden that not only provides an ideal setting for outdoor activities but also has direct access to adjacent playing fields. This connection to green space adds an appealing aspect to the property’s location. Additional amenities include a garage with an adjoining workshop—perfect for those interested in DIY projects or additional storage—and a large driveway offering off-road parking for several vehicles. With no onward chain and significant potential for updates and extensions (subject to planning permission), this property is poised as an excellent investment opportunity in an increasingly popular area.
