This flagship 67‑home development in Saffron Walden represents one of B3Living’s most significant delivery achievements in recent years as the largest scheme of the 2024-27 strategy period.

Delivered in partnership with Chase New Homes, the project transforms a brownfield site into a high‑quality, sustainable neighbourhood that responds directly to the growing local need for affordable housing across Uttlesford. 

The scheme provides a strong mix of 47 affordable rent homes and 20 shared ownership properties, creating a balanced and inclusive community. The affordable rent homes include 29 apartments, 4 bungalows, and 14 family houses, offering a broad range of options for residents at different life stages.  

The shared ownership homes further expand opportunities for local people to step onto the housing ladder, comprising 9 apartments and 11 houses, with a practical and well‑balanced unit mix. 

Situated in the sought‑after market town of Saffron Walden, the development benefits from excellent local amenities, strong schools, an attractive historic centre, and access to expansive green spaces. Its location offers residents the ideal blend of rural charm and connectivity, with convenient links to Cambridge, the M11 corridor, and key employment hubs.
