4 bed detached house for sale

Walden Road, Sewards End, Nr Saffron Walden, Essex CB10

Old barn house is a beautiful Grade II listed detached village home of individual style and character occupying this delightful tucked away location within the heart of this popular village which gives easy access to Saffron Walden's main centre and nearby amenities. The property contains many of the hallmarks and features associated with a building of this age with exposed beams and timbers, blended with modern internal fittings and more recent extensions.

The front door opens into an entrance hall where a ground floor cloakroom sits off to one side. An internal hallway opens into a large open-plan reception area which features an attractive brick fireplace, exposed timbers and terracotta tiled floor. There are windows to both the front and rear drawing good amounts of natural light, a door which opens to the rear garden and stairs rising to the first floor. Tucked to one side is a useful utility room which incorporates a worktop, sink unit and space for appliances.

The kitchen/breakfast room is extremely well appointed incorporating an extensive range of storage cupboards complemented by a Quartz worktop. A fitted dresser blends beautifully with the style of the kitchen with a range of storage cupboards and wooden worktop. There is undercounter space for appliances and an electric Everhot cooking range which incorporates an induction hob. The kitchen has two windows looking out to the rear and a door which opens to the garden, all with a southerly aspect. A formal dining room sits alongside the kitchen with a window looking out to the front, exposed beams and timbers and chimney breast incorporating a former bread oven. From here the accommodation flows into the sitting room featuring a semi-vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers, two windows and glazed double doors open to the rear, again enjoying a southerly aspect with good amounts of natural light.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a versatile hobby/study room which could serve a variety of purposes and would make a perfect office for those who work from home.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to 4 bedrooms, the master being a particularly attractive suite with two windows to the rear, built-in wardrobes and its own en suite shower room containing a 3-piece suite, this being in addition to the main family bathroom which also contains a 3-piece suite.

Outside, the property is approached via a gravelled driveway which leads into a courtyard parking area with space for numerous vehicles, in turn leading to a useful outbuilding which incorporates a double open bay cart lodge fitted with an EV charger. This enormously versatile space has a workshop with a staircase rising to a large loft area above, a separate garden store and potting shed. The garden itself is a significant feature of this property with the plot extending to 0.3 of an acre. The gardens are laid out predominately to lawn and contain a variety of flowerbeds and borders, with an array of mature plants, shrubs and trees creating a natural border which provides a high degree of privacy and seclusion. There is a large vegetable planting area with fruit cage and greenhouse.
