5 bed detached house for sale

Langley Upper Green, Saffron Walden CB11

Ocupying a generous plot and set well back from the road, Butimba is a substantial and versatile five-bedroom family home, enjoying extensive gardens and attractive views across the surrounding countryside. With its generous proportions, flexible accommodation and peaceful setting, the property offers an appealing combination of comfortable family living and the opportunity for multi-generational accommodation.

Approached across a broad gravelled driveway providing ample parking, the house has been thoughtfully adapted and extended over time to create a home particularly well suited to modern family life, with a variety of reception spaces, practical utility areas and a ground-floor bedroom with independent access.

An entrance porch leads into the house, where a welcoming hallway provides access to the principal accommodation. To the front, a generously proportioned reception room, currently used as a home office, offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a playroom or additional sitting room. The kitchen and adjoining sitting room form the natural heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, light granite work surfaces and integrated appliances, complemented by travertine flooring and windows overlooking the rear garden. The adjoining sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, with French doors opening onto the terrace and a Clearview wood-burning stove providing an attractive focal point.

A separate dining room offers further space for family meals and entertaining, with direct access to the garden. The practical side of family life is equally well catered for, with a useful utility room featuring a traditional butler sink and a generous adjoining boot room, complete with additional storage and external access.

Of particular note is the ground-floor double bedroom, which benefits from its own external entrance and access to a separate shower room. This adaptable arrangement lends itself particularly well to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or independent space for older children, while also offering potential as a substantial home office or studio.

On the first floor, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while three further bedrooms provide comfortable family accommodation, with two enjoying views across the rear garden and surrounding countryside. A family bathroom, complete with both a bath and separate shower, serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside

The gardens and setting are among Butimba's most attractive features. Set comfortably back from the road, the property is approached via a substantial gravelled driveway, providing generous off-road parking and a pleasing sense of arrival.

To the rear, the large enclosed garden offers ample space for outdoor entertaining, family activities and gardening. A patio adjoining the house provides an inviting setting for summer dining, with direct access from the principal living areas.

Beyond the garden, open countryside creates a wonderful rural backdrop, lending the property a particularly appealing sense of space and tranquillity.

Combining substantial family accommodation, a flexible ground-floor bedroom arrangement and generous gardens overlooking open fields, Butimba offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy spacious country living in a home that can readily adapt to changing family needs.
