We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Set within the heart of Saffron Walden’s historic centre, 48 Gold Street is a charming Grade II-listed townhouse offering character-filled accommodation across four floors.
Nestled along one of the town’s most picturesque streets, just a short stroll from the market square and the iconic St Mary’s Church, this home is the epitome of period charm, modernised for today’s lifestyle.
The property offers over 930 sq. ft. of versatile living space, including a light-filled reception with exposed floorboards, sash windows, and a beautiful red brick fireplace with wood-burning stove.
This sociable space flows through to a stylish handmade kitchen at the rear, fitted with shaker units, oak worktops, integrated appliances, and a stable door opening onto the rear path.
Downstairs, a converted basement currently used as a dining room offers excellent flexibility as a study, snug, or playroom.
On the first floor, a further sitting room or third bedroom provides a cosy retreat, alongside a recently updated family bathroom with a separate shower and on-trend brass fittings.
The top floor features two well-proportioned double bedrooms, with original features and bespoke built-in storage.
To the rear, a shared communal garden is enjoyed by six neighbouring households, with access rights for an additional five for bin use only.
This rare and practical arrangement creates a semi-private outdoor space that’s peaceful, social and low-maintenance.
Gold Street is one of the most photographed roads in Saffron Walden, celebrated for its pastel-fronted Georgian homes and proximity to all the town’s amenities, including shops, cafés, schools, doctors surgery and Waitrose.
