About this property
Jocelyne chase are delighted to bring to the market this distinctive period home, an elegant example of 1930’s design and craftmanship.
Offered to the market for the first time since it was built, this unique home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved family property that has been in the same ownership for generations.
Situated in a sought-after residential area, this home exudes timeless character and offers endless potential for those looking to create a home truly of their own. Complete with an extensive 0.5 acre plot.
Stepping through the front door, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway featuring one of the home’s many original period details—a beautiful stained-glass window that also graces the landing above. The ground floor comprises two spacious reception rooms to front and rear, each with their own charm, alongside a kitchen area that provides glorious views overlooking the garden .
Upstairs, the accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms plus an additional room—perfectly suited as a study, or dressing room plus family bathroom and separate WC.
The property remains in largely original condition and would benefit from renovation throughout, offering a blank canvas for a buyer with vision to modernise while retaining its inherent character.
Externally, the home sits on a generous plot approaching half an acre, stretching from front to rear. The garden offers an exceptional sense of privacy and maturity, with meandering pathways, established planting, and thoughtfully designed spaces that create the feel of a tranquil, bilingual garden sanctuary. It’s a truly special outdoor space—ideal for family life, relaxation, or future landscaping projects.
A large driveway to the front offers parking for several vehicles and leads to a garage with side access. The property also has potential for side and rear extensions, subject to the usual consents and planning permission .
Located just a 15-minute walk from Braintree Village train station (freeport) with links to Liverpool Street via Witham, the property benefits from excellent transport links while enjoying close proximity to an array of amenities including designer shops, popular restaurants, a cinema, bowling, and a modern leisure centre with swimming facilities. The A120 can be accessed within a short drive providing links to the m11.
There is a choice of schooling with Alec Hunter Academy just a short walk, options for primary schools are also close by. There is a choice of two private schools in near by villages Gosfield and Felsted both located within a 15 min drive.
This is a exciting opportunity to purchase a truly individual home, a rare-to-market gem ready to be lovingly restored and enjoyed for generations to come.—rich in history, full of charm, and brimming with potential to shape into something very special.
Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm and potential of this exceptional home.
