About
8 st. James court is an attractive, modern terraced home situated in this convenient town location just off Ashdon Road which gives good access to Saffron Walden's centre.
The property provides nicely proportioned living accommodation and has undergone some improvements over recent years.
The front door opens into an entrance hall where the kitchen sits off to the left providing a range of storage cupboards finished in white complemented by dark work surfaces, an integrated 4-burner gas hob with extractor fan above and built-in oven.
There is space for further appliances and a window which looks out to the front.
The sitting room sits to the rear of the property and has stairs rising to the first floor and a door leading into the garden room which provides useful, additional reception space with windows looking over the rear garden and door which opens to outside.
Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to the two bedrooms which sit to the front and rear with a bathroom in-between which contains a 3-piece suite.
Outside, the property sits back from the road behind a modest front garden area whilst the main garden extends to the rear, laid out mainly to lawn with a modest patio area, timber garden shed and rear access.
Saffron Walden is a historic market town with a magnificent parish church, impressive common, numerous period properties and a wide tree-lined High Street.
