Description

This period semi-detached home is ideally situated close to Braintree's town centre and railway station, making it an attractive option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a renovation project. The property retains much of its historical charm, featuring well-sized rooms and traditional characteristics that provide a canvas for modern updates. The ground floor offers two spacious reception areas, adaptable for varied uses such as a dining space, office, or living room, alongside a kitchen at the back consistent with properties of its era. A notable advantage is the basement, which adds extra potential for storage or additional living space with appropriate permissions. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms filled with natural light and generous dimensions complemented by a sizable bathroom. While the home is currently serviceable, there are ample opportunities for enhancement and personalisation to suit contemporary tastes. Externally, you'll find off-street parking—a rare benefit in this central area—and a manageable courtyard garden that is perfect for relaxation or light gardening. Positioned conveniently near essential amenities and transport links—including direct train services to London—this property presents an exciting opportunity to create your ideal home in a vibrant location.
