Description

Nestled in a convenient location just a short walk from Braintree town centre and the railway station, this two-bedroom semi-detached period home presents an enticing opportunity for those seeking a renovation project. With its characterful features and spacious layout, the property is well-suited for first-time buyers and investors looking to enhance its value through modernization. The ground floor comprises two distinct reception areas that offer flexibility in how you might choose to utilize the space—perfect for a dining room, study, or cozy lounge. The rear kitchen retains the classic layout typical of homes from this era, providing foundation for updates that could tailor it to modern tastes. A notable aspect of this property is the basement, which provides additional space that can be utilized for storage or potentially transformed for varied uses (subject to necessary permissions). Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms that benefit from good natural light and ample furniture space, alongside a sizable bathroom—all of which are functional yet ripe for personalization and contemporary upgrades. Externally, the property boasts off-street parking at the front—a rarity in such a central location—and a low-maintenance courtyard garden at the rear, ideal for outdoor entertaining or relaxing in privacy. This home not only offers character and charm but also exceptional potential for those looking to make their mark while enjoying the amenities of Braintree close at hand, including local shops, cafes, and direct transport links to London Liverpool Street.
