Step inside and the living room immediately gives you that feeling of home, with a feature fireplace and bay-fronted window adding plenty of character and natural light. The separate dining room provides a lovely space for evenings with friends or relaxed dinners.

And then there’s the garden... South facing and extending to over 90ft, this is a fantastic amount of outdoor space for a two bedroom home. The garden begins with a generous patio, perfect for summer evenings, morning coffee or entertaining friends, before opening onto a large lawn bordered by mature planting. Towards the rear, mature shrubbery creates a natural divide, with the space offering plenty of possibilities for a vegetable garden, summer house or simply a quiet corner to escape to. There is also a newly replaced outside w/c and storage room, both with full electrics and plumbing and currently used as a useful utility space. A side gate provides direct access between the front and rear, while the driveway offers off street parking. The location is another real highlight. You can walk into Braintree town centre for your everyday essentials, shops, cafés and restaurants, while Braintree railway station is also within easy reach, providing a branch line service towards London Liverpool Street. Braintree Shopping Village is close by too, and the A120 is conveniently accessible for commuting further afield.

For a first-time buyer, it offers a rare combination of character, contemporary refurbishment, off street parking and a south facing garden over 90ft, all in a location where you can leave the car at home and walk to so much of what Braintree has to offer.
