Charming Grade II listed thatched cottage in the sought-after village of Steeple Morden, offered chain free and ready to move into. The house retains many original features — exposed timber beams and a large inglenook fireplace — while extensions create unusually light, well-proportioned living spaces, including an approx. 23ft lounge and a large kitchen-dining area. The home sits on a generous plot with a beautifully tended rear garden, summerhouse, double garage and gated driveway for 2–3 cars.
The property will suit buyers who value character and country living but understand the responsibilities that come with a listed building. The interior is well maintained yet would benefit from cosmetic modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Practical details to note: the cottage is Grade II listed (which can restrict alterations), EPC exempt, and requires renovation works where desired rather than a full rebuild.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple floors with three generous bedrooms upstairs, a family bathroom and a downstairs cloakroom. With fast broadband available and excellent mobile signal, the cottage balances rural calm with modern connectivity. Local amenities, village life and nearby good primary and secondary schools add to the appeal for families wanting village living within an affluent, peaceful setting.
A true ‘chocolate box’ cottage for buyers seeking period character, garden space and garaging — bring updating ideas and an appreciation for conservation-sensitive works to unlock this home’s full potential.
