Pekin Cottage, Duck Street, Saffron Walden, CB11 4JU

The Accommodation Pekin Cottage is a quietly handsome home built in 2009 yet designed with a sensitivity more often associated with older houses, it has the reassuring presence of a cottage that feels settled and established.

The home opens into a welcoming entrance hall that immediately sets a tone of light and warmth and a discreetly positioned cloakroom/WC.

This leads seamlessly into a stunning open-plan kitchen and breakfast room fitted only three years ago.

Here, elegant shaker-style cabinetry is paired with solid wood, work surfaces, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer and a classic white butler sink.

Characterful exposed timber beams and a central breakfast bar island create a social hub.

The living accommodation continues into a generous sitting room, where a feature brick fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove serves as a cozy focal point.

This space flows effortlessly into an impressive, vaulted, family/dining room featuring a large skylight and French doors that offer a direct connection to the rear garden.

The first floor continues the theme of understated elegance and character, comprising three bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom.
