The Shortgrove Estate comprises an enchanting group of individual homes that beautifully marry historic charm with modern living in a stunning setting just outside Saffron Walden. This property, originally a stable block built in the 1700s, has been thoughtfully converted into an elegant, five bedroom, two-storey residence, with the scope to significantly extend/enlarge the accommodation by converting the vast attic (as neighbours have already done) forming one wing of this unique group of homes and offering a distinctive lifestyle experience.
Featuring a delightful façade characterised by a parapet and cornice, the property exhibits symmetrical fenestration with welcoming doorways framed by pilasters and cornices. A raised brick band elegantly connects the storeys, while the tiled, hipped roof completes this aesthetically pleasing architectural composition.
Designed with comfort and style in mind, the accommodation is complemented by expansive grounds that provide a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. Notable features include a modern kitchen remodelled by Hillside and Dovetails, luxurious bathrooms, and an array of integrated appliances. The property retains its historical elements while offering all the conveniences of modern living.
