SHOW HOME SUCCESS: THE MAPLE APARTMENT SHINES AT THE WALDENS
On the weekend of the 26th and 27th July, award-winning housebuilder, Chase New Homes proudly hosted an exclusive launch event to showcase the brand-new ‘Maple’ show apartment at the eagerly-anticipated new development, The Waldens in Saffron Walden, Essex. The event offered guests a chance to explore the beautifully designed homes and gain a taster of the welcoming lifestyle that this exquisite new development has to offer. Chase New Homes were delighted by the great success, attracting many visitors across the two days, reflecting the strong interest in what promises to be one of the area’s most desirable addresses.
The show home offered visitors a first-hand experience of the refined and inviting lifestyle at The Waldens. Many expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of making the development their future home, with a few already progressing with the next steps and securing their new apartment as a result of the event.
The ‘Maple’ building comprises six thoughtfully designed one-bedroom apartments, featuring sleek, contemporary interiors that are spacious and inviting. The expansive windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting the apartment’s warm, rich brown tones and deep blue accents, that lend the home a contemporary yet timeless appeal. With an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area, it creates a light, breathable environment, perfect for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day.
Tucked away within the heart of The Waldens, the ‘Maple’ show home is just one piece of a much broader and exciting development. Enriched with history dating back to 1879, The Waldens is located on the site of the former Friends’ School. The development thoughtfully combines the sympathetic conversion of heritage buildings with elegant new-build homes, creating a seamless blend of the past and present.
The Waldens will comprise a diverse collection of beautifully designed homes. While the grand and imposing Old School House will be converted into 52 luxury apartments in the near future, the surrounding Assembly Hall, Maple, Pine, and Croydon, currently offer a range of premium, refined one- and two-bedroom apartments for prospective buyers to consider. With something to suit everyone from first-time buyers to growing families, the development truly caters to a wide range of lifestyles.
Nestled within landscaped grounds and framed by a picturesque tree-lined avenue, the integration of original architecture with modern design evokes a distinctive and captivating charm. Throughout the development, residents can enjoy meandering along the pathways, the mature lime trees, and a stunning, tranquil pond, designed for relaxation as well as an effort to support and enhance local biodiversity.
Surrounding The Waldens is the quaint and charming town of Saffron Walden, a medieval market town in Essex, renowned for its historic architecture, picturesque streets and strong sense of community. The location, recently named The Sunday Times’ Best Place to Live for 2025, offers the perfect balance of peaceful countryside living and everyday convenience with essential amenities just moments away.
Matt Lofting, Head of Sales at Chase New Homes, comments: “I have no doubt that we’ll be seeing some visitors from the event again very soon, with request for valuations of their current properties occurring almost immediately, it is safe to say the weekend was a success. With its historic charm, prime location and beautiful surrounding countryside, The Waldens offers residents an unmissable opportunity to embrace an idyllic lifestyle.”
