Large detached family home in private town-centre plot, chain free and ready to modernise.
Approx. 2,608 sqft generous family accommodation
Set in a tucked-away, highly sought pocket of Saffron Walden, this double-fronted detached house offers generous family accommodation across approximately 2,608 sqft. The layout includes three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged over two main storeys with a comfortable, mature garden and terrace for outdoor living.
The plot is a standout asset: very large, well-screened and private with established hedging and mature trees. Practical benefits include a double garage with power and lighting, off-street parking and direct access from the driveway into the house. The location is extremely convenient — a short walk to the Common, Market Square, shops and highly regarded schools, making this a strong choice for families who want town-centre living in a quiet setting.
The house presents clear potential to add value through modest modernisation. Constructed in the late 1960s–early 1970s, fittings and finishes are serviceable but dated; updating the kitchen, bathrooms and some internal finishes would bring it in line with contemporary expectations. Note practical issues: the heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, glazing was installed before 2002, walls are cavity-built with assumed no added insulation, and broadband speeds in the area are slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Chain-free and ready for a straightforward sale, the property suits a family seeking substantial, characterful accommodation in a prime town-centre position, or a buyer looking to invest in refurbishment opportunity close to local amenities and top-rated schools.
