Description

This historic three to four-bedroom semi-detached house, dating back to the early 1900s, presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with both charm and potential. Set on a spacious plot, this home combines period features with modern elements, making it suitable for family living while also offering various avenues for enhancement or expansion. Upon entry, you are greeted by a characterful hallway that leads to a versatile layout. The front reception area serves as a cozy snug featuring a wood burner, which can easily function as a fourth bedroom if desired, providing flexibility for various living arrangements. Opposite lies the expansive lounge adorned with a striking feature fireplace. This light-filled room flows into an additional space that can serve as an office or playroom and opens onto the garden, enhancing indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen/diner is particularly appealing, showcasing high-quality finishes and crafted wooden worktops alongside integrated appliances and a range cooker. This area facilitates both casual dining and entertaining experiences. Adjacent is a utility room equipped with additional storage and laundry facilities, along with access to the ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs reveals three generous double bedrooms complemented by a modern shower room. Notably, one bedroom provides access to an extensive loft space via skylights—alluding to considerable scope for conversion or alternative uses pending planning approval. The exterior boasts off-road parking on a gravel driveway for multiple vehicles and offers side access leading to an expansive rear garden. The generous width of the plot allows for future developments or extensions (subject to necessary permissions), making it ideal for investors looking to maximize their return. The picturesque garden is designed for relaxation and social gatherings, featuring both gravel and paved areas along with lush greenery lining the well-maintained lawn—a testament to the current owner's care. Located conveniently in Braintree, this residence allows easy access to amenities and railway stations that facilitate direct travel into London.
