Hortons is a most attractive Grade II Listed period cottage occupying a central tucked-away location within this popular and highly regarded village which sits to the south of Saffron Walden. The property contains many of the features associated with its age and reflecting its Listed status with some lovely exposed beams and timbers, natural brick fireplaces and leaded lattice windows.
The property provides nicely proportioned and versatile living accommodation with its front door opening into a porch which, in turn, leads to a reception hall where the principal staircase rises to the first floor, attractive wooden parquet floor and inglenook fireplace. A snug/sitting room sits to one side with a window to the rear and side, exposed beams and timbers and attractive brick fireplace. The dining room sits on the opposite side of the reception hall with an attractive brick fireplace, again wooden parquet flooring and windows looking out to the front and rear, in turn, leading to an inner hallway linking to the kitchen/breakfast room and drawing room. The kitchen itself is well appointed with a range of storage cupboards and worktops, butler sink with 3-way tap providing boiling hot and cold water. There is an integrated dishwasher and Aga, pantry cupboard and secondary staircase rising to the first floor. Windows look out to the front and side and a door leads into an adjoining utility room which provides further worktop and appliance space, stable door to outside and cloakroom at one end. The drawing room really is a most attractive reception space having windows looking out to the rear and side drawing good amounts of natural light, open fireplace and door to the garden.
Upstairs, the landing from the principal staircase, gives access to 3 bedrooms and family bathroom, whilst from the second staircase the landing leads to the master bedroom suite which incorporates bathroom and dressing room.
Outside, in total the property sits within grounds of about 0.21 of an acre with a principal garden area and a gated entrance from the High Street, laid out predominantly to lawn with a paved patio adjoining the rear of the house, and containing a wide variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees, etc. There is further access from Deynes Road, a timber framed shed and double garage which sits to one side, although is currently in need of some attention.
