House For Sale £500,000
Top-notch shops, pubs and restaurants, excellent schools, direct trains to London and easy access to the great outdoors – Braintree was seriously desirable before the pandemic, and now the Essex town is in the sweet spot for commuting to the office or working from home. Moreover, the coast is a short drive away, only an hour to the capital and Cambridge.
This detached house is on Burghley Close, a quiet cul-de-sac within easy walking distance of shops such as Tesco or the Great Notley Country park. Burghley Close is just 10 minutes in the car to Braintree town centre, where you’ll find the perfect balance of chain stores and independent shops. It is ideal for families. It has two sitting rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a utility and a large back garden. There is a detached garage and space for a car on the driveway. The property needs a very little tlc, but there’s scope to put your stamp on the place: The largest of the three double bedrooms has an ensuite, along with the family bathroom and downstairs WC.
Location and Transport Links
Burghley Close is 2.5 miles from Braintree station, which has direct services to London Liverpool Street, a 69-minute ride during peak hours. The A120 will take you to Colchester (30 minutes) and Chelmsford (20 minutes). Stanstead airport is 20 minutes away by car, connecting you with Europe’s top holiday destinations.
It’s a 50-minute drive to Brightlingsea Beach and 45 minutes to the Suffolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Nearby amenities
Burghley Close is close to a wide range of shops, activities and restaurants. The Braintree district comprises numerous medieval market towns, all with character. Villages like Finchingfield and Coggeshall are a short drive away and are something straight off a postcard.
Braintree Village is 8 mins away and is home to Nike, Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, and more. Cineworld and a range of chain restaurants are next to the outlet. For the weekly shop, there is a Tesco 0.4 miles from the house and an M&S 1.4 miles away. Braintree Garden Centre, 3.7 miles away, is a great place to pick up some plants and lunch from the restaurant.
Braintree Leisure Centre has an indoor pool & gym. To enjoy nature, you are spoilt for choice amongst the Markshall Estate, Witham River or Great Notley Country Park - a 100-acre park within walking distance from the door. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants in town, including the charming Shillingford's, but on a sunny day, it’s hard to beat the beer garden at Fowlers Farm.
Braintree has some great schools, and Burghley Close is in the catchment area for several rated “Good” by Ofsted. The house is just 0.2 miles away from the highly rated White Court and 0.4 miles from Notley Green Primary. Tabor Academy, 1.8 miles away, and Alec Hunter Academy, 2.3 miles away, are both excellent secondary schools.
