6, Myddylton Place

No. 6 Myddylton Place is a house located in Saffron Walden, dating from the late 15th century, with alterations made in the late 16th century and the 18th century, along with a linking unit from the 19th century. The building features a timber frame that is exposed and plastered, topped with peg-tiled roofs. The layout consists of two touching, offset blocks and the house is two storeys high.

The front elevation faces west and includes a two-storey, single window range that is plastered and displays remnants of panelled basket decoration. On the ground floor, there is a 19th-century bead-moulded doorway with a boarded door, alongside a two-light casement window with four panes by three, framed with a 19th-century moulded architrave. The first floor features an early 20th-century metal casement window, also with four panes by three.

To the south, there is a full-height lean-to that is plastered on a brick base, containing a stairway lit by a 19th-century casement window at the southern end. The studwork is painted. To the southwest, there is a single-storey unit that is integral with No. 5, featuring exposed studs on cobble footings and a 19th-century sash window with three panes by two, set in its original framed opening. The return wall to the south has an early 19th-century doorway with a moulded architrave and a boarded door, along with adjacent 20th-century two-light casement windows with glazing bars, also four panes by three.

Inside, the low southern block exhibits basic late 15th-century framing with a late 16th-century inserted floor that has lamb's tongue chamfer stops, supported by a heavy braced low binding tie at the northern end. The construction of the linking stair and northern end unit corresponds to early 19th-century and 18th-century dates. Additionally, the rear garden wall is listed under No. 3 High Street.
