Castle Street, Saffron Walden, CB10 1BQ

Occupying a prominent position within one of Saffron Walden's most historic streets, this exceptional Grade II listed Queen Anne and Tudor town house is a home of remarkable architectural interest, combining centuries of history with generous and versatile accommodation extending to over 3,250 sq ft.

Formerly The Castle Inn, the property retains a wealth of original period features, from elegant early eighteenth-century panelling and sash windows to exposed timbers, panelled doors and a beautifully crafted staircase. Every room filled with character features whilst offering a wonderfully practical layout for modern family living.

The welcoming entrance hall is flanked by a handsome drawing room with wood-burning stove and an elegant study or library, both enjoying views over Castle Street. Beyond lies the Aga kitchen, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace and overlooking the private rear gardens, flowing naturally into the dining/sitting room area and magnificent vaulted sitting room with exposed timbers, wood-burning stove and striking bay window.

To the rear, an oak-framed vaulted garden room provides a superb additional reception space, studio or home office, opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.

The first floor offers four generous bedrooms, including a spectacular principal suite with vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and elevated views across the gardens towards the Anglo-American Playing Fields. A family bathroom and separate shower room complete the accommodation.

One of the property's most exciting features is the abundance of additional space. Extensive cellars run beneath much of the house, whilst the large attic rooms offer significant scope for further accommodation or ancillary space, subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents.

Outside, the mature part-walled gardens provide an unexpectedly private setting in the centre of town, with terraces, established planting, vegetable beds, sauna and direct views towards the open playing fields beyond. A private parking space and gated side access complete the property.

A charming Tudor and Queen Anne house, yet perfectly suited to modern living, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Saffron Walden's most distinctive period homes in an exceptional central location.
