THE doors to a historic Saffron Walden property were opened to the public on Thursday.

In recent years 1 Myddylton Place was better known as the YHA, but it has been restored by the Chapman family.

Businessmen and women, friends and residents turned up to have a look at the building, which now has rooms available for event hire.

Guests were offered guided tours and also enjoyed Pimms and canapes on the lawn. The launch party for the venue was organised with the help of Jo Emes and Charlotte Phillips of business networking company, The Business Studio.

“We are very lucky to be able to call 1 Myddylton Place our new home,” said Charlotte.

The Business Studio will be holding all of their future Mum’s Studio meetings, Supper Clubs and drinks networking evenings at the venue.
