Hightrees is a substantial and highly versatile family home set within approximately 1.25 acres in the sought-after village of Sewards End, just a short distance from Saffron Walden. Offering around 3,606 sq ft of accommodation, including a self-contained annexe and a detached double garage with first-floor space above, the property provides an exceptional degree of flexibility for modern family life, multi-generational living, working from home or those seeking generous grounds in a semi-rural setting.
The house is approached via an attractive carriage driveway, providing extensive off-street parking and leading to the detached double garage. The garage is a notable feature, with two vehicle bays and a large first-floor area above, offering excellent storage or potential for ancillary use, subject to any necessary consents.
The main house opens into a wide and welcoming reception hall, finished with wood flooring and providing a strong sense of arrival. From here, the ground-floor accommodation flows particularly well, with a balance of open-plan family space and more traditional reception rooms. The sitting room is a generous and comfortable space with attractive parquet flooring, a feature fireplace and double doors opening out to the front garden, creating a warm and inviting reception room.
At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/family room, a bright and sociable space designed for everyday living. The kitchen is fitted with a range of shaker-style cabinetry, a central island with breakfast seating, integrated appliances and large doors opening directly to the terrace and garden beyond. There is ample space for informal dining and seating, making it ideal for family life and entertaining.
A separate formal dining room sits nearby and enjoys a vaulted feel, garden views and French doors to the terrace, making it a lovely room for larger gatherings. Further ground floor accommodation includes a useful family room or home office, a utility room and a modern shower room.
One of the key advantages of Hightrees is the attached annexe, which can be accessed independently as well as from the main house. This provides a generous bedroom/sitting room, kitchen and shower room, making it ideal for a dependent relative, guests, older children or live-in support.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a superb size and benefits from an en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also enjoys an en-suite bathroom, while two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The bedroom arrangement offers excellent balance, with four bedrooms in the main house in addition to the annexe accommodation.
Outside, the grounds are a significant feature. A paved terrace sits immediately behind the house, providing a natural space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with mature trees, established hedging, planted borders and attractive views towards open countryside. The grounds extend beyond the formal garden, creating a wonderful sense of privacy, openness and space.
Hightrees is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and adaptable home with a carriage driveway, excellent garaging, annexe facilities and impressive grounds, all within easy reach of Saffron Walden.
