Summerhill Road, Saffron Walden

The Accommodation

Step into the spacious, light and airy entrance hall and you’re immediately drawn into the heart of the home, a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that stretches across the rear of the house. This is no ordinary kitchen space. It’s a bold and beautifully designed area with clean modern lines, a large island with breakfast bar, and banks of sleek cabinetry offering excellent storage. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors blur the line between inside and out, opening fully to the rear garden and creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that’s perfect for entertaining, family life or just soaking up the morning sun. To one side of the kitchen is a generous family living area, with plenty of room for a large dining table and relaxed seating — all bathed in natural light thanks to the full-width glazing with an opening into the snug. A well-equipped utility and boot room with external access sits just off the kitchen, providing a practical space to manage the day-to-day, along with a smartly appointed ground floor cloakroom and separate study.

To the front of the house, you’ll find a generous and versatile family room, ideal for quieter evenings, movie nights or a children’s playroom. There’s also a further versatile reception room on the ground floor, which could serve equally well as a guest room, home office or even a hobby space.

The first floor is just as impressive, with a wide, airy landing leading to five double bedrooms, all of which offer leafy views and plenty of storage. The principal suite is a real highlight: vaulted ceilings, Juliet balcony, walk-in dressing area and a sleek en suite shower room combine to create a space that feels like a boutique hotel.

There are four further double bedrooms, with the second bedroom also benefitting from an en suite shower room and built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms four and dive also benefit from built in wardrobes. A beautifully finished family bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower completes the upper floor, ideal for busy households.

Outside

The property is set back from the road and slightly elevated behind mature trees and lawned area providing a real sense of privacy.  

The rear garden is a real highlight. Generously sized and beautifully landscaped, it combines a smart terrace for outdoor dining, a lush lawn bordered by mature trees and planting, and a large home studio at the rear — ideal as a gym, workspace or creative retreat. There’s also handy side access and discreet storage space to keep everything looking clean and uncluttered.
