5 bedroom detached house for sale

A truly exceptional detached contemporary style home of individual style and character situated in this established town location which gives good access to Saffron Walden's main centre, nearby amenities and excellent schools.

Constructed approximately 7 years ago to an exceptional standard, the impressive home features high quality fittings throughout and beautifully proportioned living accommodation, all of which being complemented by the most attractive internal décor which is enhanced by natural light which pours in through a multitude of large windows and door opening, helping to create a bright and airy internal ambience.

The living space is arranged over three floors, with the front entrance door set within an attractive recessed storm porch that opens into the spacious entrance hall where space flows seamlessly into the main ground floor living areas. Worthy of particular note within the ground floor is the impressive kitchen/family/dining room, designed to allow the ability to create zoned living areas in one large open-plan space. The room enjoys high ceilings with overhead skylights, a side window and full-height sliding doors that open into the rear garden allowing natural light to flood into the room and bringing the inside and outside together perfectly. In keeping with the overall quality of the property, the kitchen is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of storage cupboards complemented by Quartz worktops and including a substantial central island. The kitchen incorporates an extensive range of integrated appliances including two Neff ovens, induction hob with extractor fan over, twin integrated fridge-freezers and dishwasher. In addition, just off the kitchen, is a separate utility room fitted to blend with the kitchen style having further storage cupboards and worktops, sink and space for washing machine and tumble-dryer.

The sitting room occupies space at the front of the house with shuttered double glazed sash windows, drawing in natural light and has the benefits of a log burner. There is attractive Amtico flooring which also extends through the entrance hall where a ground floor cloakroom is placed to one side.

Upstairs, the first landing provides access to 4 bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom on this level enjoys a large picture window overlooking the rear, fitted wardrobes and equally well equipped en suite shower room. Stairs rise from the landing to an impressive 2nd floor bedroom suite which also features a large picture window to the rear providing rooftop views over Saffron Walden and, once again, has the benefit of its own en suite shower room.

OUTSIDE, the property is set well back from the road approached via an attractive block paved driveway that provides ample off-street parking and complements the property style. To the rear, gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and remodelled by the current owners to create a beautifully balanced outdoor environment. Areas of lawn blend with attractive paved terraces and pathways offering ideal space for outdoor entertaining. The gardens are enclosed by attractive cedar fencing, established hedgerows and mature trees creating a high degree of privacy, whilst discreet exterior lighting adds both ambience and practical style. The gardens are broadly divided into two distinct areas, partially separated by hedgerow. The rear section of garden forms a particularly private and well enclosed space within which sits an excellent cedar-clad office/studio providing ideal space for a home office, although equally well suited to alternative uses such as a studio, gym or general hobby room.
