PROPERTY INSIGHT
Ensum Brown are delighted to offer for sale this beautiful detached part thatched property, nestled within the highly sought after village of Steeple Morden. This lovely period home has previously been sympathetically extended and enjoys a wealth of stunning features, including from a non-estate location, 3 reception rooms, 3 bedrooms, a conservatory, a carport and driveway parking, and beautiful field views.

This gorgeous cottage is tucked back from the road, nestled behind mature hedgerows and shrubs, and on approach, visitors can just see the pretty thatch roof, light cream frontage, and peg tiled pitched roof which makes up a sympathetic extension. The wide driveway and carport have enough space for several vehicles, and there is a well kept front garden leading up to the front door.

The cottage has been well priced to reflect its offering. There is fantastic potential to update further, improve and add value.

The property is lovely and comfortable for you to move straight in, then deciding what works you wish to carry out and when. Also, the south facing roof of the car port may be a fantastic opportunity to add solar panels and improve your energy efficiency.
