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
A spectacular and highly versatile three/four-bedroom semi-detached cottage, occupying a highly desirable position on South Road, just a five-minute walk from Saffron Walden town centre.
Having undergone a full refurbishment throughout, this impressive home combines the character of a period cottage with beautifully updated and adaptable accommodation arranged over three floors.
Offering approximately 1,434 sq ft of accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully refurbished to provide a stylish and practical home, whilst retaining the individuality and charm expected of a property of this nature.
The ground floor offers a welcoming reception room, a separate dining room, kitchen, utility room and a useful garden room, which provides access to a small rear patio.
The combination of living and dining spaces creates a practical and adaptable arrangement, with the garden room adding further versatility.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The accommodation continues into the tanked basement, where the property benefits from two additional bonus rooms, a shower room and a separate laundry room.
The basement offers considerable flexibility and could be used to suit a variety of requirements, including a potential fourth bedroom, a dedicated home office, guest accommodation or additional recreational space, subject to the intended use and any necessary consents.
This additional accommodation provides an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a home that can adapt as their needs change.
Outside, the property benefits from two separate patio garden areas, with one positioned to the front and another to the rear, providing useful spaces for outdoor seating, entertaining and relaxation.
There are also two parking spaces situated alongside the property, offering a practical benefit in this sought-after town location.
Please note that the parking spaces are not owned by the property, but permission has been granted by highways for the owners to park there.
South Road is one of Saffron Walden’s most desirable residential locations, with the town centre within approximately a five-minute walk.
The property therefore offers the opportunity to enjoy the town’s shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities, while retaining the character and individuality of a distinctive cottage.
A superbly refurbished and versatile home, combining generous accommodation, flexible basement space and a convenient location close to the heart of Saffron Walden. Council Tax Band: C. EPC Rating: E.
