A rare redevelopment opportunity in the heart of Saffron Walden, this Grade II listed Georgian house sits on approximately 2.39 acres and offers substantial scope for sensitive conversion subject to planning and listed‑building consent. The principal four‑storey red brick house retains original sash windows, high ceilings and a formal symmetrical façade that will appeal to purchasers seeking genuine period character and scope to add value.
The site is currently classed as C2 (residential institution) and is offered with vacant possession; an adjoining 1980s extension has been removed leaving the main house freestanding. The plot includes six defined car parking spaces, mature boundary trees and a courtyard forecourt, and benefits from an excellent town‑centre location within walking distance of shops, markets and transport links. Slow broadband and above‑average local crime are notable local factors.
This property is best suited to developers, investors or an owner‑occupier prepared to manage listed‑building constraints. Buyers should note the Grade II listing will complicate alterations, planning permission and listed‑building consent are required for change of use or major works, and the tenure is currently unknown. Unconditional offers for the freehold with vacant possession are sought by 12 noon on Wednesday 10 December 2025.
