Mount Pleasant RoadSaffron Walden, Essex, CB11 3EA

Mount Pleasant Road is approached via an ornate gateway and pathway, leading through a sheltered lawned front garden with established hedging and a retaining wall, occupying a prime Saffron Walden location. On entering the property, the welcoming entrance hall sets the tone with its leaded part-glazed front door, tiled flooring, ornate coving and striking stained-glass skylight windows, together with built-in storage. There are two elegant reception rooms, both rich in period detailing. The sitting room enjoys a bay window to the side and displays original features including wood panelling, deep skirting boards, picture rails, exposed floorboards and an attractive Victorian fireplace with a decorative tiled surround, flanked by fitted cupboards and shelving. The family room provides a more informal living space, featuring a fireplace with a log-burning stove, wood-effect flooring and glazed doors opening directly onto the courtyard.

The kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home and are beautifully presented in a traditional style, fitted with a comprehensive range of base and wall units topped with solid wood worktops and incorporating a Butler sink. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with gas hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Slate-effect flooring, a Victorian-style ceiling drying rack and ample fitted storage enhance both practicality and charm. The adjoining dining area is flooded with natural light from a glazed lantern roof and side windows, with bi-fold doors opening onto the enclosed rear courtyard. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a well-appointed shower room with a vanity basin and walk-in shower, along with a separate cloakroom. The lower ground floor comprises a dry-lined and carpeted basement room with built-in desk and storage, providing a versatile space suitable for home working.

On the first floor, the spacious landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and exposed wooden floorboards, while the remaining bedrooms also offer generous accommodation, one with further built-in storage. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including a bath with shower over, complimented by part-tiled walls and three striking Gothic-style leaded windows which provide both character and natural light.

To the rear of the property lies a generous walled courtyard garden, accessed directly from both the kitchen/dining room and family room, with planted borders and a high degree of privacy. A side gate provides additional access, and there is useful external storage with power, as well as a garden shed. Off-street parking for two vehicles further enhances the appeal of this centrally located and characterful home.
