Saffron Walden has a community cinema - Saffron Screen - based at the town's high school. The school is also the site of Saffron Hall, a venue for live music, drama and dance, with performances from local, national and global artists.
The imposing Audley End House and Gardens is less than two miles from the development. This Jacobean mansion depicts life in Victorian England, both above and below stairs, with servants in period dress working in the kitchen, stables and gardens. For youngsters there's interactive displays in the Victorian nursery, an outdoor play area and a miniature railway that travels through the mansion's extensive grounds. The gardens form an important part of the estate and include those created by historic landscape designer Capability Brown, a restored parterre and an organic kitchen garden. During the summer the gardens provide a picturesque backdrop to open-air theatre, cinema and music events.

About Bellway
From one bedroom apartments to luxury penthouses and prestigious executive houses, we pride ourselves on understanding the aspirations of all our buyers, not just in the type of home that suits your needs, but in the environment in which you want to live. Irrespective of your budget and the type of property you are buying, all our homebuyers are treated with the same high level of customer service from pre-sale, throughout the buying process and, of course, once you have moved in.
We believe that service doesn't just involve customer care; it's also about providing you with a range of attractive offers and incentives to make it easier and quicker to move. We will also work with you during the early stages of construction to enable you to personalise your new home through our Additions package.
Our high standard of service and build-quality is endorsed by our customers, 9 out of 10 of which would recommend buying a new home from Bellway to a friend. Although a major developer, we have not lost sight of what is important to our purchasers. Operating via nineteen regional divisions and employing local people allows us to stay close to our customers and take key decisions about design, materials and specification in response to local demands; another example of how, by putting buyers at the heart of our business, we have built a reputation you can rely on.
