Description

We are pleased to present for sale this charming, part-thatched period home, set within the highly sought-after village of Steeple Morden. Tastefully extended over the years, the property boasts a wealth of character features along with generous living space, including three reception rooms, three bedrooms, a conservatory, carport and driveway parking, as well as picturesque views across open fields. This delightful cottage has been sensibly priced to reflect its current condition and future potential. While it is perfectly comfortable and ready for immediate occupation, there is scope for further improvement and value enhancement. In time, a new thatched roof will be required, along with some attention to the rendering and windows. Additionally, the south-facing roof of the carport presents an excellent opportunity for solar panel installation to enhance the property’s energy efficiency.

STEP INSIDE

Once inside, Lily Cottage continues to impress with its wealth of period features and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The lounge enjoys dual aspect through three windows that overlook the private garden. A striking inglenook fireplace with a working fire takes centre stage, complemented by exposed ceiling beams, a built-in storage cupboard, and stairs leading to the first floor. A door leads through to the kitchen—beautifully styled with exposed timber beams and fitted with a range of modern base and wall units, solid oak worktops, and tiled flooring. The space includes a larder, an integrated dishwasher, and room for a fridge/freezer and a large LPG range-style cooker and electric oven. Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient wet room with shower and WC. From the kitchen, another door opens into a conservatory, ideal for additional kitchen storage or appliances. This fantastic space offers room for a dining table and chairs and provides access to the rear garden. This beautiful room is an expansive space with a high vaulted ceiling, here you will find an exposed brick wall, reclaimed parquet flooring, and an LPG converted wood-burning stove. A large window at the rear and French doors to the side garden flood the room with natural light. A staircase leads to a versatile mezzanine floor, perfect for use as a reading nook or study space. Upstairs, the charm continues with beautiful countryside views from every window. There are three bedrooms: two small doubles, one single room and a family bathroom that includes a bath with overhead shower, WC, and hand wash basin.

STEP OUTSIDE

Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a peaceful and versatile space—perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests. Mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedgerows, the garden offers privacy and a lovely green outlook. A paved patio area provides ample room for outdoor furniture, planters, and pots, creating an ideal spot for al fresco dining. To the side of the property, a charming herb garden adds character and practicality, with convenient access leading back to both the rear garden and the driveway.
