This Grade II listed three-bedroom character house sits moments from Saffron Walden’s shops, schools and transport links. The property retains exposed timber beams, traditional joinery and two separate reception rooms, offering immediate period charm and comfortable family living across approximately 970 sq ft.
The layout includes a separate lounge and dining room, a spacious kitchen with cellar storage, three bedrooms, a family bathroom and loft space that could be adapted into an office or extra room. A private, fully enclosed courtyard garden provides outdoor space in this central location. The house is chain free and sold freehold with mains gas boiler and radiator heating; broadband speeds are fast.
Buyers should note this is a listed building: any alterations will require listed-building consent and may limit refurbishment options and increase costs. The property shows signs of age (timber-frame walls originally built pre-1900, original wooden floors and beams) and will suit those prepared to maintain and sympathetically upgrade period fabric. There is a medium flood risk and the plot is small, which constrains extension potential.
For families seeking central convenience, period character and scope to add value (loft conversion potential, kitchen and bathroom modernisation), this house offers a rare, chain-free opportunity in a popular market town. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission a full survey and check statutory consents before committing.
