A stunning, Grade II* Listed cottage set in Saffron Walden's most historic area. The property has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard, boasting a wealth of character and beautifully appointed accommodation.

Set in the heart of Medieval Walden, the cottage forms part of a former `Wealden' open hall house, dating back to the late 15th Century. The property retains a number of medieval features, including original doors, exposed timbers and an impressive brick and timber fireplace featuring ritual carvings, believed to have been carved by the original occupiers to ward off evil spirits.

The property has undergone an exceptionally high renovation incorporating a well-appointed kitchen, refitted shower room and Jim Lawrence lighting and switches, creating a stylish blend of 15th Century character with modern practicality.
