High Street, GUILDEN MORDEN, SG8

We are delighted to offer to the market this beautifully presented and significantly extended 3-bedroom Grade II listed cottage, dating back to the mid-18th century. Ideally situated in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Guilden Morden, the property occupies a desirable position within the Conservation Area. Combining period features with high-quality modern additions, this exceptional home offers spacious accommodation, a stunning mature garden, detached double garage and generous off-road parking.

Upon entry, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall leading into the charming dining room, featuring windows to the front and rear and a striking inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. The dining room flows into the impressive 19ft living room, which features a second inglenook fireplace with working wood burner and French doors opening onto the rear garden.  The recently extended kitchen is a particular highlight, featuring a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows, underfloor heating, high-quality wall and base units with marble work surfaces, a butler sink and breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include double ovens, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler. Bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.  Also accessed from the kitchen are a separate utility room, cloakroom and versatile study. The utility room features matching cabinetry, marble work surfaces, a butler sink and integrated washer/dryer, while the study provides an ideal home working space.

Upstairs, the property offers 3 well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, complete with a bath and shower attachment, WC and wash hand basin. Bedroom 2 is a further spacious double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, while bedroom 3 is a versatile and well-presented additional room, ideal for a child’s room, home office, guest accommodation or dressing room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family shower room.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a beautifully established rear garden extending to approximately 85ft x 55ft. Predominantly laid to lawn with mature borders, the garden features a paved terrace, well, koi pond, log store, timber shed and decked gazebo seating area.

To the front, a gravel driveway provides parking for 2 - 3 vehicles and leads to the substantial detached double garage, which benefits from power, lighting and pedestrian access to the rear garden.

Offering a rare combination of period charm, modern living and generous outdoor space in a highly desirable village location, this exceptional home must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Early viewing is highly recommended.
