Summary - SOUTH HOUSE HIGH STREET LITTLEBURY SAFFRON WALDEN CB11 4TD
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Grade II listed 4-bed village house with large garden and plentiful parking — character throughout.
No onward chain — ready for quicker completion
South House is a substantial Grade II listed village home combining original timber-framed charm with a later Georgian extension. The house offers generous, versatile living across multiple floors — including a superb high-ceilinged drawing room with full-height sash windows, a separate family/dining room with exposed beams, a rustic kitchen/breakfast room and a ground-floor study. The principal bedroom occupies the Georgian wing and benefits from high ceilings, generous proportions and garden views.
Set well back from High Street, the property sits on a large plot with off-street parking for several vehicles and an established rear garden laid mainly to lawn with a paved entertaining terrace, pond and a large storage shed. The location in Littlebury delivers quiet village life yet is only about 2.5 miles from Saffron Walden and nearby stations for Cambridge/London links.
This house is full of period features — timber floors, sash windows, fireplaces with fitted stoves and exposed beams — which create significant character but also practical constraints. The Grade II listing brings historical appeal and long-term value but will limit permitted alterations and can complicate maintenance and modernisation. Council tax is described as quite expensive and owners should budget for listed-building upkeep.
No onward chain offers a relatively swift purchase route for buyers seeking a ready-to-occupy village home with scope for sensitive updating. The property will suit families or purchasers wanting spacious, characterful accommodation in a prosperous rural setting who accept listed‑building responsibilities.
