4 Bed Detached House For Sale

Nestled in the charming hamlet of Littlebury Green, The Granary is an impressive Grade II-listed barn conversion that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. Set within 0.36 acres of private grounds, this beautifully restored former granary features characterful exposed brickwork, a vaulted ceiling in the living room, and a thoughtfully arranged layout perfect for contemporary living.

Spanning an impressive 2,083 sq. ft. across two floors, The Granary welcomes you with a spacious entrance hallway that leads to the heart of the home — a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room. Bathed in natural light from numerous windows and French doors that open to the garden, this space boasts exposed brick walls, shaker-style units, and rustic timber beams. It truly embodies a country kitchen, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining.

Adjacent to the kitchen, you will find a cosy snug and a large utility room complete with a ground-floor WC. On the opposite side of the property, there is a magnificent living room featuring a vaulted ceiling, a dramatic fireplace with an exposed chimney breast, and double-height windows and French doors that open onto the garden. A mezzanine level above adds a unique architectural element, creating a light-filled and open atmosphere.

The ground floor also includes a versatile study that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, making it perfect for guests or working from home.

Upstairs, the master suite offers a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. Two additional double bedrooms, each full of character, share a well-appointed family bathroom. The galleried mezzanine landing above the living room enhances the sense of space and connection between the two floors and provides a lovely spot for quiet reading or as a library.

Outside, the property offers complete privacy, thanks to mature hedging, established borders, and trees. The garden is primarily laid to lawn and features several seating areas — perfect for children, pets, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside. A detached double garage at the front of the property provides ample parking and storage.

The location is equally attractive. Littlebury Green is a sought-after rural village surrounded by scenic countryside walks, yet it is just a short drive from Saffron Walden, recently named The Times & Sunday Times Best Place to Live in the UK for 2025. This vibrant market town boasts excellent schools, independent shops, restaurants, and a thriving cultural scene. For commuters, Audley End Station is also conveniently nearby, offering direct rail services to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local heritage in one of the most desirable locations in the country.
