Located in the north-west corner of Essex, some 50 miles outside London and surrounded by unspoilt countryside, Saffron Walden is one of the finest preserved examples of an English medieval market town and consequently one of the county’s most desirable addresses.  The town’s popularity and growth has resulted in a shortage of family homes and in response to this increasing demand Countryside Properties is developing Saffron Green, the only collection of brand new houses of its kind in the area.

Comprising two bedroom apartments and two, three and four bedroom houses, Saffron Green is offering potential purchasers an outstanding alternative to the town’s more traditional family homes.  Whilst the design of the properties feature much of the charm and character associated with older style houses, the new homes at the scheme offer a range of benefits that provide stylish, low-maintenance, cost effective alternatives that are in tune with modern family life.

The most significant benefit of buying a brand new home at Saffron Green is that purchasers will be acquiring a fresh, newly decorated property that is complete with a range of brand new fixtures and fittings, unlike older properties that often need updating.  All the homes at Saffron Green benefit from stylish fitted kitchens that feature a full range of brand new integrated appliances.  Bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms are all fitted with elegant sanitaryware.

Another key benefit to purchasing a new-build home is that the very latest construction techniques have been employed aimed at increasing energy efficiency, which in turn help to reduce household costs. 

Yvonne Hudson-Green, Sales and Marketing Director for Countryside Properties, comments: “Saffron Walden is a popular town and more families are looking to take advantage of its many attractions.  Up until now there has been much publicity regarding the lack of new family homes in the area and at Saffron Green, Countryside Properties is going some way to fulfilling this demand.

To help make the move into their brand new homes as smooth and hassle free as possible, Countryside Properties is providing purchasers with part-exchange* on their existing property, along with 5% deposit* paid.  The part-exchange offer will not only mean that purchasers can move quickly, but have a guaranteed buyer, incur no estate agents fees and have a fixed completion date.

Homes at Saffron Green are ideal for London commuters; nearby Audley End station offers services into Liverpool Street with a journey time of just under an hour during peak periods.  Saffron Walden itself offers an excellent array of facilities including an extensive range of restaurants, wine bars and cafes within walking distance of the development.  Nearby leisure facilities include a well respected local golf course and the Lord Butler Fitness Centre.

Prices at Saffron Green start from £198,950 for a two bedroom apartment.  For further information and to visit a show home, contact Countryside Properties on 01799 523191 or visit www.saffrongreen.co.uk
