Summary - 2300 2300 2300 Elephant Green, Newport, Saffron Walden CB11 3RB
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Chain-free period property with garage, garden and strong commuter links.
Grade II listed – statutory restrictions and specialist consent likely required
Set on a peaceful green in Newport, this Grade II listed detached cottage offers genuine period character across three floors. Exposed timbers, open fireplaces and original parquet create an atmospheric living environment for a family seeking village life. The property is offered chain free, speeding up a move for buyers ready to renovate.
The house requires sympathetic modernisation throughout: plumbing, kitchen and bathroom are dated and there is only one full bathroom serving four bedrooms. Listing status will restrict alterations and likely require specialist consent and higher refurbishment costs. These are important considerations for budgets and project timelines.
Outside, a gravel drive, double garage with power, and private rear gardens provide practical benefits and off-street parking. The hamlet location overlooks a small green, enjoys low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home workers. Good local schools, village amenities and a rail link to London and Cambridge add everyday convenience.
For buyers seeking a character home to personalise, this property presents strong potential to create a striking family residence. Those looking for a turnkey solution or major structural change should note the listed status and renovation requirements before viewing.
