Description

This semi-detached house presents a significant opportunity for renovation and modernization, making it a potentially lucrative investment. While the property currently requires substantial refurbishment, its central location near Braintree Centre offers exceptional convenience. With a bay-fronted design, the house features three bedrooms and ample living space spread over two floors. An extensive rear garden measuring approximately 39m (128 ft) adds to the appeal, providing room for possible extensions or alterations subject to planning permission (stpp). The layout includes a through reception/dining room and a kitchen with an adjoining utility area. The property's proximity to transport links, including Braintree train station with direct access to London Liverpool Street, enhances its attractiveness for commuters.
