Description

Nestled in a tranquil and respected residential area, this expansive four-bedroom detached home is situated on one of the largest plots available within the development. The property presents ample internal space with significant potential for expansion, pending appropriate permissions. Accessed via a spacious private driveway that leads to a double garage, the scale of the property is immediately apparent. Inside, a welcoming hallway opens to a study and formal dining room flanking the entrance—ideal for remote working or hosting guests. At the rear, a generous lounge offers lovely views of the garden, while the well-sized kitchen/breakfast room serves as an inviting hub for family meals and daily activities. A convenient ground floor WC rounds out this level's functionality. The first floor houses four sizeable double bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en-suite shower room. The other three bedrooms are serviced by a contemporary family bathroom, making it highly suitable for families or those requiring extra living space for guests. Outside, the large rear garden provides privacy and ample space for outdoor entertaining or potential landscaping projects—highlighting further opportunities for extension given the expansive plot size. Located close to local amenities such as shops and schools, with Braintree town centre offering additional retail and dining options, this property is well-connected by bus services and Braintree railway station for London commuters. Additionally, easy access to major roads connects users to Stansted Airport and beyond. This home represents an excellent investment opportunity in a desirable part of Braintree.
