Description

This four-bedroom detached house presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable residential area of Braintree. The property spans two floors, offering versatile living spaces ideal for family life, and is being sold with no onward chain, facilitating a straightforward purchase process. The ground floor features an entrance hall with a practical cloakroom, a study suitable for remote work or quiet reading, and a spacious lounge that opens into a conservatory overlooking the large rear garden. The kitchen is well-sized with ample storage and workspace, as well as an integral garage providing convenient access. Upstairs, the master bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom, complemented by three additional bedrooms that provide potential for reconfiguration or enhancement to suit your needs. A modern family bathroom services these rooms. The larger-than-average rear garden is noteworthy, providing substantial outdoor space which could be transformed into an entertaining area or landscaped garden. This property’s structure appears sound; however, updates to internal finishes and certain areas may enhance its overall appeal and value significantly. Nestled in a community-rich environment with close proximity to reputable schools, transport links including Braintree railway station, and local amenities such as shopping centres and parks, this residence holds great investment potential. Suitable for families seeking space or investors looking for refurbishment opportunities in a thriving area.
