This extended five-bedroom semi-detached house in central Saffron Walden blends period character with contemporary family living. The highlight is a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with island, Velux windows and French doors that open onto a landscaped rear garden with decking, tiki/pergola and separate studio/workshop — ideal for alfresco entertaining and a home office or hobby space.
Ground-floor living is flexible: a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a formal dining room, utility and a shower room support day-to-day family life. Upstairs are five bedrooms, an ensuite to the principal room, a family bathroom and an additional shower room, making this practical for a growing family or multi-generational living.
Practical positives include off-street parking for several cars, double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and air conditioning in key rooms. The property is well presented throughout and sits on a large plot with useful outbuildings, increasing usable space and versatility.
Notable considerations: the property dates from the 1930s–40s and the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation; buyers may want to investigate energy-improvement options. Council tax is moderate and the wider area is affluent, with low flood risk and good broadband and mobile signal. No material structural defects are stated, but any buyer should commission their own survey.
