Features and description
This exceptional detached home occupies a truly standout corner plot within a private executive development in the heart of Rickling Green — a highly desirable village setting with a rich sense of community and heritage. Finished to an exacting standard throughout, this home has been carefully improved by its current owners, resulting in a residence that delivers modern comfort, refined detail and effortless style at every turn.
The accommodation is beautifully proportioned and light, airy and versatile, beginning with a welcoming entrance hallway that leads to two principal reception rooms, a large ground-floor WC and the heart of the home — the superb kitchen/dining space. The stylish kitchen is fitted with an array of integrated appliances including a double oven and induction hob, complemented by quality worktops, plentiful storage, a filtered cold water system and a Quooker tap, with triple aspect windows and double French doors opening directly onto the garden. Adjacent, a generous utility room offers further storage, workspace, appliance space and direct access to the rear garden.
The main reception room is beautifully presented, with a feature floating electric fire and another set of double doors that open seamlessly to the garden, creating a superb connection between indoor and outdoor living. A second reception room, currently used as a home office, sits to the front of the house and is ideal for modern working-from-home lifestyles.
Upstairs, the landing gives access to three well-appointed bedrooms. The principal suite impresses with both a walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary en suite shower room, while bedroom two also benefits from its own en suite shower room. A beautifully finished family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
Outside
Externally the property continues to impress. A private driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a single garage with electric roll-top door. The home occupies a generous corner plot, affording a high degree of privacy. The rear garden has been landscaped to great effect, with a large patio perfect for entertaining and a mature, raised lawn area surrounded by trees that screen the garden from neighbouring land. A side gate gives access to a secure parking area, and a further gate leads to an additional enclosed garden space, laid to lawn with established flower and shrub beds and space for a garden shed, with rear door access into the garage.
Location — Rickling Green & The Local Area
Rickling Green is a quintessential English village, known for its historic village green and iconic cricket pitch, home to the local Rickling Ramblers Cricket Club, where matches and community life flourish throughout the summer months. The village’s social heart is The Cricketers Arms, a highly regarded country pub overlooking the green, celebrated for its seasonal menus, real ales and award-winning hospitality.
For families, the location is especially compelling. Rickling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, located within the village, is highly sought-after and rated Good by Ofsted, with a strong reputation for community ethos and solid academic progress.
Ofsted Reports
Further educational provision is available in nearby towns. In Saffron Walden, local primary schools and Saffron Walden County High School offer highly regarded secondary education, with the high school noted for its strong academic performance and breadth of opportunities.
Despite its peaceful rural ambience, Rickling Green remains well connected. It lies within easy reach of M11 Junction 8 for commuter routes towards London and Cambridge, and nearby mainline rail services are available from Audley End, Newport, Stansted, Stansted Airport and Bishop’s Stortford, providing frequent services into London and beyond.
The nearby market towns of Saffron Walden and Bishop’s Stortford — both a short drive away — offer an excellent blend of independent shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and cultural amenities, with Bishop’s Stortford also providing additional commuter rail links and wider retail leisure options.
Summary
This truly special home offers luxurious contemporary living in one of north-west Essex’s most desirable settings. From the private plot and exceptional internal quality to the superb local amenities, schooling and connectivity, it represents an outstanding opportunity for families and professionals alike. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and location on offer.
