Dating back to the 17th Century, 86 Little Walden Road is a beautifully characterful period home that has been thoughtfully extended over time to create a deceptively spacious family house of around 2,014 sqft, set within a plot of approximately 0.13 acres. Ideally positioned just 0.6 miles from Saffron Walden Market Square, the property offers the best of town living with a wonderful sense of space, whilst also being in catchment for the highly regarded Saffron Walden County High School.

The charm of the home is immediately apparent on arrival, with its attractive frontage giving way to an interior rich in personality and period detail. Exposed timbers, deep-set windows, wooden doors and fireplaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere, whilst the extended layout provides excellent versatility for modern family life.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, combining timeless style with practicality. It features dark shaker cabinetry, a butler sink, slate flooring, and a statement range cooker. Open to the kitchen is a fantastic breakfast/dining space, complete with built-in banquette seating and character lighting, making it the perfect spot for everyday dining, homework, or entertaining friends.

The accommodation flows beautifully into the main sitting room, a generous and light-filled room that enjoys views over the rear garden and direct access outside – making it ideal for summer gatherings and relaxed evenings at home. A further reception room offers a more traditional feel, filled with exposed beams and centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace, creating a cosy retreat and a true reminder of the home’s heritage.

A dedicated study provides a quiet space for home working, while a ground-floor WC and additional hallway space add practicality. There is also access through to the garage, ideal for storage, bikes, and everyday essentials.

Upstairs, the first floor continues the theme of character and space with five bedrooms, offering flexibility for growing families, guests, or those requiring additional home office or hobby rooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly lovely room, generous in proportions and featuring a charming fireplace and a walk-in wardrobe, whilst the remaining bedrooms are well arranged and full of natural light.

The family bathroom has been designed with a boutique feel and features a beautiful freestanding roll-top bath, complemented by panelling, warm tones and classic styling. This is further supported by a separate shower room, finished in a contemporary design with crisp tiling and modern fittings.

A further basement room provides useful additional storage and could suit a variety of uses depending on requirements.

Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight, enjoying a pleasing sense of depth and privacy with lawned areas, established planting and plenty of room for outdoor dining and play. A fantastic BBQ Hut sits towards the far end of the garden, creating a brilliant focal point and an ideal spot for entertaining, relaxed summer evenings and year-round get-togethers with friends and family. To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking for three cars in front of the garage.

Blending period charm with generous accommodation and an excellent location close to the town centre, 86 Little Walden Road is a rare opportunity for buyers looking for a distinctive and spacious home in Saffron Walden.
