Nats Cottage is a Grade II listed, three-bedroom thatched home set in the quiet hamlet of Langley Upper Green, a short drive from Saffron Walden. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, a wood burner and traditional finishes — and sits with a garden, driveway and a detached garage. Planning permission is already in place to replace the existing garage with a timber-framed structure.
The property is a comfortable size for village living (approximately 984 sq ft) with well-proportioned rooms and good natural light. Practical benefits include parking and garage space, fast broadband for remote working, very low local crime and access to several well-rated schools within the area. The location offers open countryside views and genuine rural tranquillity while remaining reachable to local services.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may increase maintenance costs, particularly for the thatched roof which requires specialist care. The home is sold freehold, with Council Tax in Band E and EPC Exempt status. The plot is relatively small and the garage is a key asset for storage or workshop use.
This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful village residence with potential to personalise within the constraints of listed status, or those prioritising a peaceful rural lifestyle close to Saffron Walden. Serious purchasers should factor listed-building responsibilities and ongoing maintenance into their plans.
