SECOND PHASE LAUNCHED FOLLOWING SALES SUCCESS AT STUNNING SAFFRON WALDEN DEVELOPMENT
The Croydon Building at The Waldens
Following the launch of The Waldens in January, Chase New Homes has sold out all homes in its first phase at the popular Saffron Walden development within three months. Sympathetically transforming the site of the former Friends’ School, Chase New Homes is delivering a selection of 96 homes that support modern lifestyles whilst simultaneously maintaining the site’s historic legacy. Following the success of the first phase, the second phase of homes has now been launched, providing further opportunities for those looking to secure a new home in the picturesque Essex town.
Reflecting the blend of old and new at The Waldens, phase two offers a mix of both newly built apartments and sensitively reimagined Victorian buildings. Dating back to the 1800s, the Croydon building has been carefully converted into a range of one and two-bedroom apartments that host modern interiors within the building’s historic architecture. For a modern twist on the old school building’s past, The Assembly Hall offers a collection of one-bed apartments and three-bedroom houses located within striking red-brick façades. Alternatively, the contemporary Maple and Pine buildings host spacious new one and two-bed apartments that showcase the best of 21st century design.
Creating a truly enchanting place to live, the attention to detail continues outside of the homes with newly landscaped grounds. A nature-enhancing pond and diverse planting simultaneously aids local wildlife whilst providing vibrant aesthetics for the community to enjoy. For those looking to incorporate fitness into their daily routine, The Waldens benefits from the luxury of its own tennis courts and multi-use games area, as well as a network of pedestrian and cycle routes.
Paul Bennett, Sales and Marketing Director at Chase New Homes, comments: “Following the closure of the Friends’ School in 2017, we have been working to deliver a sensitive conversion that will enable this site to remain at the heart of the community for many more years. Marking the next chapter for this site, The Waldens blends historic charm, contemporary interiors and beautiful grounds. Building upon the sell-out success of our first phase of homes, we are excited to have recently launched our next phase of apartments and houses at the development, which we anticipate will be equally as popular.”
