Summary - SPARROWS FARM HENHAM ROAD DEBDEN GREEN SAFFRON WALDEN CB11 3LZ
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious 5‑bed character home with pool and optional equestrian land.
600‑year‑old character house with original beams and oak floors
Hidden in the quiet hamlet of Hamperden End, Sparrows Farm is a 600‑year‑old detached home blending historic character with contemporary comfort. The house offers five generous bedrooms, four bathrooms and an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining/living area that opens onto a well‑landscaped garden, heated swimming pool and cedar outdoor kitchen—ideal for family entertaining and multi‑generational living.
Period details include exposed beams, original oak plank floors and a large inglenook fireplace with a log burner, while modern upgrades include water‑fed underfloor heating, an integrated Sonos system, handcrafted black stone kitchen with premium appliances and an electric pool cover. The plot is substantial, with a spacious in‑and‑out driveway, large garage and optional adjoining equestrian land (available separately), providing scope for horses, amenity development or privacy buffers.
Buyers should note this is an older property that comes with ongoing maintenance responsibilities typical of historic homes. Services include a Klargester septic system on the front lawn and several bespoke systems (immersion tank, underfloor heating) that will need routine servicing. The property is offered freehold; council tax is band G and described as quite expensive. The EPC is currently listed as TBC and should be confirmed by buyers.
This home suits families who value space, character and rural seclusion but want modern convenience. The hamlet location provides low crime, fast broadband and access to highly ranked local schools, sports and equestrian facilities. The price includes approximately two acres of additional land to the right of the garden by agreement; it can be purchased without that extra land if preferred.
