Summary - 6, WALDEN ROAD CB11 4TA
3 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Character-filled three-bed village home close to Saffron Walden and top schools.
Grade II listed — works likely need listed building consent
This Grade II listed period cottage offers character-filled, flexible living across two floors — exposed timbers, original fireplaces and a central chimney with back-to-back log stoves create an immediate cottage feel. The house includes a bespoke in-frame kitchen with underfloor heating, two bathrooms and three bedrooms, making it well suited to families or those seeking a comfortable village home.
Set in a picturesque village just a short drive from Saffron Walden, the property benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and access to highly rated local schools. The attractive rear garden with lawn, greenhouse and shed provides private outdoor space for children, pets or vegetable growing, while the compact, characterful footprint is easy to maintain.
Buyers should note important constraints: listed status means works will be restricted and likely require listed-building consent, which can complicate renovations and add costs. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the plot is relatively small, limiting extension potential. The roof was replaced in 2008, and services include modern kitchen appliances and underfloor heating, but internal room sizes are modest as typical for older village cottages.
Overall, this home suits buyers who value period charm and a village setting close to good schools and amenities, and who are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities and modest plot size. It offers an attractive, character-rich base with sensible modern upgrades where they matter most.
