Summary - THE OLD BARN LOWER POND STREET DUDDENHOE END SAFFRON WALDEN CB11 4UP
2 bed 1 bath Barn Conversion
Grade II listed barn with vaulted living space, garden, cartlodge and extra land option.
Grade II listed two-bedroom barn conversion, 1,410 sqft
Set in a small courtyard of three converted barns, The Old Barn is a Grade II listed two-bedroom conversion combining generous living space (1,410 sqft) with authentic period character. The double-height living room with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams creates a dramatic central space, complemented by a mezzanine, separate dining room and a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room. French doors open to a sheltered rear patio and a landscaped garden with lawn, vegetable beds and a greenhouse.
Practical benefits include a double cartlodge with store, ample off-street parking and fast broadband availability. The property sits on a 0.15-acre plot with the option to purchase a further 0.5 acres by separate negotiation, and it lies about 4 miles from Audley End station for direct links to Cambridge and London — attractive for countryside commuters.
Important practical notes: the building’s Grade II listed status preserves historic character but restricts alterations and may increase maintenance costs (thatched roof upkeep and specialist repairs). There is a single bathroom, council tax is above average (Band E), and listed-property constraints could complicate significant remodelling or modernisation projects.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful rural retreat with good transport links and outside space — ideal for downsizers or professionals wanting countryside life with commuter access. It offers immediate liveability with scope to personalise within listing constraints, and the optional extra land is useful for gardeners or those needing more paddock or amenity space.
