Saffron Walden is a highly desirable town in Essex, known for its charming historic buildings, excellent schools, and convenient location. The property’s proximity to several well-regarded primary schools (St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, R A Butler Infant School, R A Butler Junior School, all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) makes it particularly attractive to families. The nearby train station provides easy access to Cambridge and London, further enhancing its desirability. While the plot size is small, the presence of a well-maintained garden adds value.

The property itself appears to be in excellent condition. The images show a modern, newly built home with high-quality finishes and fixtures. There is no evidence of wear and tear or the need for any repairs or renovations.

Considering the average house price in the area is £518,885 and the average price per square foot is £542, the list price of £800,000 for this 1,506.09 sqft property seems slightly high. However, the property’s modern condition, desirable location, and the relatively small number of comparable properties on the market could justify this price. Nearby comparable detached properties have sold for similar prices, supporting this assessment. The lack of plot size data for these comparable properties makes a precise comparison difficult.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
