This three-bedroom property in Braintree, Essex, presents a unique opportunity but requires significant consideration. Located relatively close to transport links and several good primary schools, the location is suitable for families or those working in Braintree or surrounding areas.

However, the property’s condition is a major drawback. The provided photographs illustrate considerable internal clutter and disrepair. The property requires a complete internal clean-up and extensive renovation before it is habitable. This means a substantial additional cost should be factored into any purchase decision.

The external area, while including a garden, is also significantly overgrown and requires considerable work.

The list price, while seemingly attractive, must be considered in the light of the considerable refurbishment costs. The additional expense of bringing the property up to a livable standard may significantly impact the overall cost, making it potentially less attractive compared to other properties in Braintree that are in better condition. A detailed survey and costing of repairs should be carried out before any purchase is considered. Prospective buyers should budget heavily for renovations and factor in the time this will take.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
