High Street, Saffron Walden, CB10

A Distinctive Village Residence with Exceptional Renovation.

In the very heart of the village lies this outstanding detached home, offering both elegance and comfort in equal measure. The property has undergone an extensive programme of high-quality renovation and modernisation, resulting in a beautifully presented residence that blends contemporary refinement with timeless charm. Complemented by a double garage, private landscaped garden, and thoughtfully designed interiors.

Ground Floor

Enclosed Porch – Approached via a pair of quality double-glazed entrance doors, the enclosed porch creates a welcoming first impression. A decorative glazed inner door leads effortlessly into the reception hall.

Reception Hall – Bathed in soft light from an obscure-glass window dressed with bespoke shutters, the hall is both practical and inviting. The staircase rises elegantly to the first floor, with discreet storage beneath and a fitted coat cupboard for effortless organisation.

Sitting Room – A superbly proportioned living space, flooded with natural light from windows and glazed doors to three aspects, each framing delightful views. The focal point is a striking exposed brick fireplace with inset stove, adding both warmth and architectural character.

Dining Room – An adaptable room ideal for formal dining, a home office, or a second sitting area, enjoying an open aspect through a wide picture window overlooking the rear garden.

Kitchen – Crafted and installed by Goddards, this impressive, recently refitted kitchen combines craftsmanship with functionality. A bespoke range of base and wall-mounted cabinets is topped with solid hardwood work surfaces and complemented by a ceramic sink. Premium features include a range cooker, integrated dishwasher, and fridge freezer, alongside space for a washing machine. A large front-facing window offers charming views of the village street, while a glazed side door provides direct access to the garden path. A fitted boiler cupboard and separate shelved pantry complete the space.

First Floor

Bedroom 1 – A bright and airy double aspect room with double-glazed windows to the front and side, complete with fitted shutters. Door leading to:
En Suite – Modern refitted suite including a shower enclosure, hand wash basin, WC with concealed cistern, heated towel rail, and an obscure double-glazed window.
Bedroom 2 – A generously sized double bedroom, bathed in natural light from double-glazed windows on two sides, fitted with shutters.
Bedroom 3 – A spacious double bedroom with a large rear-facing double-glazed window and fitted shutters.
Bathroom – Contemporary refitted suite comprising a deep bath with shower over, wash basin, low-level WC, heated towel rail, and an obscure double-glazed window.

Outside – Set in the idyllic village of Hempstead, the property enjoys a generous mature plot. A block-paved driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached double garage with electric door, side windows, power, lighting, and eaves storage - offering scope for conversion (STPP). A wrought iron gate opens to a private rear garden, mainly laid to lawn with flower borders, mature hedging, stone terraces, a summerhouse, vegetable beds, and a timber shed. A stone pathway encircles the home, with a further gate to the front and an additional area of land offering potential for landscaping or other uses.
