Wicken RoadArkesden, Saffron Walden, Essex, CB11 4EY

Occupying a commanding yet private position on the fringe of the picturesque village of Arkesden, Thornfield is a beautifully reimagined family home that seamlessly blends contemporary design with timeless charm. This substantial residence has been thoughtfully enhanced to offer versatile, light filled accommodation ideal for modern family life.

The heart of the home is a spectacular open plan kitchen, dining and living area – a true showpiece with a large central island, bespoke cabinetry, electric blinds, integrated appliances, hot/chilled/sparkling water tap, Everhot range cooker (available separately) and full-width bi-folding doors that open onto a sun-drenched south facing terrace. This space is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquil garden views.

Complementing the main living area is a stylish formal reception room, a dedicated gym and a well appointed utility and separate boot room – all benefiting from underfloor heating and finished to a high standard. A room adjacent to the kitchen is currently used for storage but could make an ideal home office.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to five double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a dual aspect outlook, a feature fireplace and ample space for relaxation. The remaining bedrooms are generously proportioned and served by a beautifully finished family bathroom.

The grounds at Thornfield are as impressive as the interior, extending to just over 0.5 of an acre.

A sweeping driveway provides ample parking, while mature planting and established trees offer privacy and a sense of seclusion.

The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, ideal for families, sloping gently up to a large flat area, an ideal spot for a gym or home office pod.

There are elevated views over the valley and woodlands. There is vehicle access to the rear of the garden providing more parking.

Planning permission has been granted for a substantial extension over the kitchen, allowing for two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a cart lodge/garage to the front – offering exciting potential for future growth. (UTT/20/3147/HHF)
