Summary - 61 CASTLE STREET SAFFRON WALDEN CB10 1BD
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Charming Grade II Listed cottage with character, garden and versatile accommodation in town centre.
Grade II Listed 16th-century timber-framed cottage with strong period features
A rare Grade II Listed 16th-century cottage set on picturesque Castle Street in central Saffron Walden. The house retains strong period character—exposed timber framing, inglenook fireplace with wood-burner and original beams—offering an immediately charming historic home in a highly desirable town-centre location. The accommodation is deceptively spacious with three reception rooms, a useful basement study and a private landscaped rear garden.
The layout works well for a family or buyer seeking versatile living space: good-sized sitting and dining rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a garden room that opens onto a paved terrace and planting. Three first-floor bedrooms include an en-suite to the principal. The basement provides a practical home office or storage with natural light and central heating.
Buyers should note the property’s Listed status means any alterations will require listed-building consent and careful conservation. The street-facing rooms are relatively narrow with lower ceiling heights common to the period, and the frontage limits extension potential. The exterior shows aged weathering consistent with an historic building and may need sensitive maintenance.
Overall this is a character-rich, centrally located cottage for purchasers who value provenance and town living and who are prepared for the responsibilities that come with owning a Grade II Listed home. It offers immediate residential use, scope to modernise sympathetically, and strong proximity to local schools, shops and transport links to Cambridge and London.
