Summary - RIVERSIDE COTTAGE WALDEN ROAD LITTLEBURY SAFFRON WALDEN CB11 4TA
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Historic riverside home with landscaped gardens and gated parking for three.
Grade II listed detached cottage from the 1700s with original features
Riverside Cottage is a handsome Grade II listed home dating from the 1700s, set on a private riverside plot in Littlebury with countryside views. The house combines original period features — exposed beams, thatch and chimneys — with sympathetic extensions and contemporary touches, making generous family living across three reception rooms and a bespoke cottage-style kitchen.
The layout suits family life and entertaining: four double bedrooms are arranged over multiple floors, with an en-suite to one bedroom, a family bathroom and a separate shower. Landscaped gardens include terraced seating areas, a detached summerhouse and a gated driveway for three vehicles, offering privacy and outdoor space for children and pets.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which preserves historic character but will restrict certain alterations and may complicate maintenance and planning. The home is sold freehold and EPC-exempt. Flood risk is rated medium for the area, and there is just one recorded bathroom for the four-bedroom layout, which buyers may want to confirm or upgrade.
This cottage will appeal to families and buyers seeking a character property in a prosperous rural village, or purchasers who appreciate historic fabric and are prepared for the responsibilities of owning a listed riverside home. The setting and plot provide clear potential for outdoor enjoyment and subtle improvement rather than wholesale redevelopment.
