Top Road, Wimbish, Nr Saffron Walden

Set against a backdrop of open countryside and tucked away on the rural edge of Wimbish. The Old Piggery is a home that breaks the mould. Believed to originally date back to the late 1940’s and formerly a working piggery, this unique property has been reimagined with creativity and scale. This unique property offers over 2,387 sq ft of highly adaptable accommodation, cleverly designed in a reverse-living format to make the most of its stunning surroundings.

The lower level is all about flexibility and flow. There are four generous bedrooms on offer — ideal for growing families, guests, or multi-generational living — including a spacious principal bedroom. There is a beautifully refitted family bathroom suite as well as an additional jack and jill four piece bathroom, and a practical boot room and utility with bespoke storage and bench seating. A particular feature on the ground floor is a most spectacular vaulted reception room with white-painted beams, exposed trusses, large Velux windows, and doors opening onto a sunny raised terrace. This striking, characterful room is a perfect space to entertain friends boasting ultimate host’s touch, a fully stocked bar, with space for wine fridge and cooler, and mirrored shelves. Or if not entertaining it’s a wonderful space for relaxing with family.  Accessed off the reception room is a useful side room, which could provide a fifth bedroom if required, or an excellent study or gym area potentially.

Stairs from the rear reception room lead up to the first floor where you’ll find a stunning open plan living/dining space with a spacious kitchen adjoining. As with the ground floor reception room this room provides a fantastic space for both entertaining and relaxing as a family. Boasting windows to front, rear and side aspects, this room has been designed to really make the most of the setting a beautiful countryside views. 

The kitchen is equally impressive and a real Chefs delight — sleek, spacious, and made for those who love to cook. There’s no shortage of worktops, a full suite of integrated appliances, professional gas hobs, and long, uninterrupted views over the fields beyond thanks to the large picture window to side aspect. There are not many kitchens you’ll find offering these incredible views.
