Ashdon Road, Saffron Walden

The Accommodation

The property is accessed via a sheltered recessed porch that opens into a spacious and inviting entrance hall, where a staircase rises to the first floor and a well-positioned cloakroom/WC provides essential convenience. To the left, the expansive sitting room spans the full depth of the house, bathed in natural light from its dual-aspect configuration and featuring an elegant  fireplace and sliding patio doors that lead directly to the rear terrace. Centrally located, the formal dining room offers a sophisticated space for entertaining with charming views over the Common, while the adjacent family room provides a unique third reception space characterized by its airy, semi-vaulted ceiling, twin Velux windows, and triple-aspect views that maximize the leafy surroundings. 

The kitchen is a chef's delight, expertly fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry and high-end integrated appliances, including a oven and sleek hob. This workspace opens into a stunning architectural breakfast room addition, where floor-to-ceiling anthracite-framed windows and a central roof lantern create a breathtaking "indoor-outdoor" feel, offering a tranquil spot for morning coffee overlooking the meticulously maintained walled garden. 

A bright and airy landing provides access to the upper floor's accommodation, which comprises four impressively proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a standout feature, offering a substantial footprint that easily accommodates large-scale furniture and benefits from a private, spacious en suite shower room finished with modern fixtures.

Of the four bedrooms, three are strategically positioned at the front of the residence, serving as elevated vantage points to enjoy the sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Common. These guest and family bedrooms are served by the central bathroom, which features a classic layout designed for both comfort and functionality.

 The thoughtful distribution of space ensures that every room feels substantial, while the large windows throughout maintain the home's signature bright and open atmosphere.

Outside

The property is wonderfully set back from the road, approached via a substantial block-paved driveway that provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles. The frontage is softened by a charming timber pergola and thoughtfully curated flower borders, brimming with a diverse array of established plants and shrubs.

To the rear, the walled garden offers a private and tranquil sanctuary. It features a sophisticated blend of soft and hard landscaping, with expansive paved terraces ideally suited for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining. These seating areas are beautifully framed by raised beds and borders, meticulously stocked with a vibrant variety of flora that ensures year-round interest and a high degree of privacy
