Ashdon Road, Saffron Walden, CB10

Occupying an elevated position with magnificent views over Saffron Walden Common, 6 Ashdon Road is an exceptional four-bedroom detached family home extending to over 2,100 sq ft, beautifully balanced across three floors and finished with a refined blend of character and contemporary design. Just a short stroll from the historic market square, boutique shops, coffee houses and highly regarded schooling, this is a property that pairs lifestyle, location and liveability with effortless ease.

An elevated paved approach leads to the front entrance, where the reception hall sets a warm and welcoming tone with timber flooring and soft neutral décor. To the front, the main living room is a wonderfully inviting space with a deep bay window framing uninterrupted views across The Common, a rare and special perspective in the town. A feature fireplace with wood-burning stove anchors the room, while its generous proportions make it equally suited to quiet evenings or elegant entertaining. Across the hall, a second bay-fronted reception room provides excellent versatility and is currently arranged as a stylish study/snug, ideal for those working from home or seeking a quiet retreat.

To the rear of the property, the home opens into a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, the true heart of daily life here. Vaulted ceilings, multiple Velux skylights and a full run of garden-facing glazing bathe the room in natural light throughout the day. The hand-finished shaker kitchen features quartz worktops, a central island with breakfast seating, a Rangemaster cooker and extensive cabinetry. The dining space flows naturally into a relaxed family seating zone overlooking the garden, creating a sociable and flexible environment perfect for gatherings. The utility room is complemented by a recently constructed boot room, providing an excellent everyday entrance complete with bespoke storage and access to the garden. A ground-floor WC completes this level.

The first floor offers three beautifully presented bedrooms arranged around a bright dual-aspect landing. The bedroom to the front enjoys elevated views across The Common through its charming bay window, while the two further bedrooms overlook the gardens and are generously proportioned for family life. The bathroom on this level is a standout feature, classically finished with half-height panelling, roll-top claw-foot bath and separate shower enclosure.

The entire second floor forms a peaceful retreat, perfect as a primary suite, guest level or older child’s floor. Light, airy and refined, it offers excellent built-in storage and a stylish shower room with heritage tiling and a pedestal basin.

The gardens wrap gracefully around the house with shaped borders and well-established planting. A south-facing terrace beneath a foliage-wrapped pergola provides an idyllic alfresco dining spot, perfectly oriented to enjoy afternoon and evening sun. Beyond lies a substantial cedar-clad outbuilding fitted with solar panels, ideal for a gym, studio, hobby space or workshop. Parking for two vehicles is located to the rear of the plot, accessed off Highfields, including one space beneath a carport and one in tandem ahead of it.

A rare Saffron Walden home, elegant, welcoming and positioned directly opposite The Common.
