About this home
*A Rare And Interesting Investment Opportunity*
An exciting opportunity to acquire a unique and versatile investment property, ideally situated on the popular Iron View development in Braintree, offering an impressive 8.88% gross yield alongside excellent flexibility for investors and owner occupiers alike.
Originally designed as a duplex apartment, the property has been thoughtfully reconfigured into two individual self-contained apartments, creating a distinctive arrangement with strong rental appeal. The flexibility of the accommodation also offers the opportunity for the property to be converted back to its original duplex layout, should a purchaser wish to do so.
The ground floor apartment features a spacious open-plan living area, offering ample room for both lounge and dining furniture, alongside a generous double bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom. Notably, the current bathroom occupies the space where the original staircase was originally positioned, meaning there is potential to reinstate internal access and restore the duplex configuration.
To the upper floor, the second apartment provides well-proportioned accommodation comprising a comfortable living room, separate kitchen, double bedroom, and bathroom, creating an entirely independent living space.
This unusual setup presents a range of opportunities, whether for investors seeking immediate rental income, buyers looking for a multi-generational living arrangement, or those interested in reconfiguring the property back into a substantial duplex apartment.
Ideally positioned within close proximity to Braintree town centre, the property benefits from easy access to a wide range of local amenities, shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. For commuters, both Braintree railway station and Braintree Freeport railway station are conveniently nearby, providing direct rail links towards London Liverpool Street via Witham railway station, while excellent road connections via the A120 and M11 motorway make travelling further afield equally accessible.
Combining income potential, flexibility, and an excellent location, this is a truly rare opportunity that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
