Set on a large, mature plot in peaceful Wendens Ambo, this extended five-bedroom detached bungalow delivers flexible single-level living with converted loft accommodation. The home benefits from modern energy upgrades — solar panels and an air source heat pump — which help reduce running costs, while the large rear garden and elevated countryside views create a strong sense of privacy and space.
Ground-floor living is generous and well planned: a spacious living room, a bright kitchen/diner opening onto the garden, three ground-floor bedrooms (two with en-suites), useful storage and two utility areas. The loft conversion provides two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principal room enjoying far-reaching rural outlooks. A fully insulated garden office with power and lighting and a large storage shed add practical flexibility for home-working or hobbies.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the property uses oil-fired heating with radiators, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and council tax is above average. The house dates from the 1980s with improvements made since; prospective buyers should commission their own surveys and service checks to confirm condition and services.
This house will particularly suit those seeking spacious, mostly single-storey accommodation with strong energy credentials and excellent outdoor space — ideal for buyers downsizing from a larger home or families wanting versatile accommodation in a rural village with easy access to Saffron Walden and rail links to London and Cambridge.
