The much sought-after village of Steeple Morden offers excellent transport links including the A1 (8 miles) and A10 (7 miles). The nearest railway stations are at Royston, 6 miles to the East and Ashwell and Morden, 1.6 miles to the South - the Cambridge train links with London, Kings Cross in approximately 50 minutes.
This delightful, thatched family home offers characterful, notably spacious and light accommodation throughout. The ceiling heights are particularly good which is an unusual benefit for a property of this era and type.
The ground floor is well-configured and provides versatile and spacious accommodation which can be used in a variety of ways to cater for most family needs. The entrance hall is of a good size and is currently being used as a small study with a useful utility room off, which is fitted with a range of units and provides plenty of space for coats and boots.
The drawing room is a charming space with a wealth of exposed original timbers and a large brick-built inglenook fireplace. A front to back dual aspect and good ceiling heights ensure that this room is naturally light and feels particularly spacious.
A separate dining room which adjoins the kitchen provides a great space for entertaining and again benefits from a front to back dual aspect which overlooks the gardens to the rear.
The kitchen which offers a triple aspect overlooking almost the entire garden has been tastefully fitted in a traditional and timeless style. A stable door to the side provides access to a large, paved terrace which is ideal for outdoor entertaining.
There is further reception room, which is currently used as a family sitting room, however, an en-suite shower room provides the flexibility to use this as an additional / guest bedroom. In keeping with the rest of the ground floor accommodation, this room offers a front to back dual aspect and tall, vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers further enhance the feeling of space.
An inner lobby between the dining and drawing rooms leads to the first floor landing which is of a good size and provides access to 3 bedrooms, a family bathroom and a generous airing cupboard.
All three of the bedrooms are of good sizes and would each comfortably accommodate double beds. Owing to a large structural timber, one of the bedrooms is accessed via a half-height door, however, once inside offers generous ceiling heights and a dual aspect which overlooks the garden. The primary suite is notably sizeable, spanning the entire depth of the property and incorporating an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with traditional sanitaryware including a freestanding bathtub with ball and claw feet.
Outside the property is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway which provides plenty of parking and leads to a large timber double garage with barn style doors. The gardens are incredibly well-stocked with a variety of mature trees including; Silver Birch, Apple and Willow. A large mature Wisteria sits over a timber pergola with a paved seating area beneath. There is also a large paved terrace which sits adjacent to the rear of the property with a centrally positioned water feature. A small brook runs along the easterly boundary of the gardens which are predominantly laid to lawn with mature planted borders.
