An exceptional Grade II* Georgian house occupying roughly 2,300 sq ft in the centre of Saffron Walden. The three-storey home retains striking period features — original cornices, marble fireplaces, sash windows and a dramatic staircase — delivering immediate historic character and generously proportioned living spaces. The accommodation includes four double bedrooms, a dressing room, snug, cellar and flexible reception rooms ideal for family life or discreet home working.
Externally the property benefits from electric gated access through the former stables, the remains of St Luke’s Chapel, a large walled rear garden with mature planting and seating areas, plus off-street parking for approximately six vehicles. Commuters gain easy access to Audley End station for fast trains to London and Cambridge. Local schools include several Ofsted-rated 'Good' and 'Outstanding' options nearby, and the town offers plentiful independent shops and amenities.
Important practical points are straightforward: the Grade II* listing means alterations will require listed-building consent and can complicate refurbishment. The site is flagged as high flood risk and the area records above-average crime levels; prospective buyers should obtain specialist advice and appropriate insurance. Services and ultrafast broadband are available, and the generous footprint and layout present strong potential for sympathetic restoration or adaptive reuse subject to consents.
This is a landmark town-centre home for buyers seeking period authenticity, size and provenance in a highly regarded location. It will particularly appeal to families and those looking for a prominent historic residence with substantial garden and parking, provided they are comfortable managing the responsibilities of a listed property and flood risk mitigation.
