On a quiet lane and mere steps from artisan bakers, delis, famous pubs and ancient buildings, this picture-perfect cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the historic town of Saffron Walden. The interior is classic country home, with wooden beamed ceilings, exposed brick and a roaring fire, all of which create a cosy atmosphere. Start your mornings by making breakfast in the kitchen, which is best enjoyed around the wooden dining table. Once you're ready to take on the day, step outside to see what the Medieval town has to offer.

Wander through the streets of old buildings and admire the architecture, visit the local museums to learn more about this fascinating part of the country or spend a few hours inside the beautiful Saffron Walden Library. There's also an array of cute shops, art galleries and cafes to keep you both refreshed and entertained while you're out and about.

When you get home, indulge in a bubble bath and get ready to go out for dinner – there's an array of pubs and restaurants nearby, meaning you'll be spoilt for choice when deciding where to go. Before you head out, enjoy a glass of wine on the patio, with the gorgeous greenery of the private garden around you.
