We live in a wonderful sleepy village with its own community shop and local friendly pub. Then just 3 miles up the road is the ancient market town of Saffron Walden has an old market square, common, and little lanes with antique and curiosity shops. There are cafes, restaurants and the department store of Eaden Lilley. The castle museum and remains of the old castle are near the market square. The stately home of Audley End House and gardens, close to Saffron Walden, are worth a visit.

In the summer musical and theatrical festivals take place and punting on the river is a popular pastime. Cambridge has many quality stores and a daily market.

About Us

We are a professional middle aged couple Maggie and Chris adventuring into house swapping for the first time . We have travelled round the world and we are always looking for a home from home with plenty of space with the comforts of home . We moved into the village in April 2007 and I still feel like we are on holidays as we previously lived in London for over 25 years. I am a nurse by background and now work in Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge as an operational manager. Chris is a civil servant and works for the home office in London.
We take great pride in our home and have fitted 2 new bathrooms and we are now renovating the kitchen and to note it is always lovely and warm. Our back garden backs on to fields as far as the eye can see and is totally secluded. It is south facing with a nice arrangement of flowers and plants and we have great barbeques in the summer months.
My son lives in Cambridge and will be at hand if you have any concerns and need any advise. We also have cleaners who come on monday and thursdays and can cancel them if you wish.
