ELEGANT APARTMENT LIVING COMES TO SAFFRON WALDEN WITH THE WALDENS’ NEW SHOW HOME

A brand-new show apartment at the eagerly anticipated and highly sought-after development, The Waldens in Saffron Walden, is soon to open to local buyers. During the exclusive launch weekend on 26th and 27th July 2025, guests are invited to enjoy light refreshments while exploring the beautifully designed homes and impressive lifestyle amenities. Chase New Homes welcomes prospective buyers to experience first-hand the elegance and quality of The Waldens.

The Waldens is a beautifully crafted collection of houses and apartments set within the historic grounds of the former Friends School in Saffron Walden. Chase New Homes has thoughtfully blended the charm of original architecture with contemporary design, creating a distinctive destination for first-time buyers, growing families, downsizers, and other discerning home seekers. The development features a harmonious mix of sympathetic conversions and newly built homes, nestled within landscaped grounds that include a network of pedestrian pathways, a historic avenue of lime trees, and a vibrant pond designed to support and enhance local biodiversity.

Designed to reflect the quality and sophistication of life at The Waldens, the new ‘Maple’ show apartment exudes warmth and welcome. Set within a bright, airy building featuring a striking apex roof and expansive glazed entrance, the six Maple apartments offer sleek, contemporary interiors designed for modern living.

The 59 sq. m one-bedroom show home highlights the Maple apartments’ spacious, modern design. Three windows drench the open plan kitchen/living/dining room with natural light, while two windows do the same in the sumptuous bedroom, which feels like a haven from the demands of daily life. Throughout the apartment, the interior design aspiration is a neutral palette overlaid with warm, rich brown tones and sophisticated deep blue touches, which will deliver a sense of timeless refinement.

The show apartment strikes a perfect balance between contemporary style and everyday practicality, offering generous built-in storage solutions and a sleek U-shaped kitchen with a breakfast bar. Each apartment at The Waldens is finished to a high specification, featuring Amtico Spacia wide plank flooring in the living areas, tiled bathroom floors, and luxuriously carpeted bedrooms. Kitchens are thoughtfully designed with soft-close doors and drawers, quartz worktops, LED feature lighting, and integrated Bosch appliances, creating a space that is both functional and effortlessly stylish.

 

The new show home perfectly captures the aspirational lifestyle on offer at The Waldens, where residents enjoy access to tennis courts and a multi-use games area set within beautifully landscaped grounds. In addition to the Maple apartment building, the development features a variety of layouts across the Pine, Croydon, and Assembly Hall buildings, and eventually the grand former school itself, offering stylish, contemporary homes to suit a wide range of buyers. Apartment sizes vary from one to three bedrooms, while a collection of three- and four-bedroom houses adds even greater choice for families, downsizers, and professionals alike. Every home benefits from an air source heat pump for enhanced energy efficiency, along with an allocated parking space equipped with an electric vehicle charger.

Matt Lofting, Head of Sales at Chase New Homes, comments: “At The Waldens, style and sustainability come together to stunning effect. With its lush green surroundings, on-site recreational facilities, and exceptional homes, this development offers a truly elevated lifestyle in the heart of Saffron Walden. We’re excited to welcome prospective buyers to experience this remarkable setting for 21st-century living with the launch of the new Maple show apartment on the 26th and 27th of July.”
