This two-bedroom property in Braintree, Essex, is located on Railway Street, offering a convenient position close to Braintree train station and the town centre. The proximity to shops, supermarkets, and good transport links to London is a significant advantage. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are also within a reasonable distance.

The property itself appears to be a flat or maisonette, with a total of 692.12 sqft. The internal photos reveal a functional but somewhat dated interior requiring some updating. The kitchen and bathroom appear particularly in need of some modernization. The living areas, while adequately sized, lack a high-end finish. The property does not appear to offer any significant private garden space. The external photos show a shared parking area and what looks like a communal outdoor space.

Given the proximity to Braintree train station, its central location and access to amenities, and the comparative prices of similar properties, the listed price of £190,000 appears relatively reasonable in the current market. Buyers should, however, factor in potential refurbishment costs to enhance the property’s overall appeal and condition. Overall, it represents a potentially suitable purchase for those seeking a convenient location and willing to undertake some modernisation works. The lack of external space will likely be a drawback for some potential buyers.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
