4 bed detached house for sale

Church Street, Guilden Morden SG8

Property Insight

Tucked into the picturesque south Cambridgeshire village of Guilden Morden, this four-bedroom detached character home pairs period charm with genuine day-to-day space. A handsome thatched roof sits above an individual, well-maintained frontage, giving the property real kerb appeal - and, in the warmer months, a natural coolant overhead - with access running around to the rear. Inside, period features run throughout, from exposed beams to an original fireplace, while two reception rooms, a kitchen, a conservatory and a downstairs shower room make up a flexible ground floor. Offered freehold and with No Upward Chain, it is a rare chance to secure a true character property in a settled village position, ready for its next owners to move straight into.

Upon entering, the home shows its character at once. The lounge is a standout space, with windows to the front aspect, an exposed brick fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, and exposed beams and upstands that speak to the property's age, alongside sconce lighting, carpeting and ample room for both seating and storage furniture. The dining room is equally comfortable, enjoying a dual aspect, decorative alcoves and space for a large table and chairs. Through an archway, the kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units, laminate worktops, tiled flooring and splashbacks and spot lighting, with space for freestanding appliances. Beyond it lie a conservatory and a downstairs shower room comprising a corner shower, WC and hand wash basin.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, served by integrated storage and a family bathroom comprising a bath with overhead shower, WC and hand wash basin. Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight, generously sized and fully enclosed by fencing and mature hedgerows for privacy. Laid mainly to lawn, it opens onto a large paved terrace beside the house with plenty of room for garden furniture, dining al fresco and entertaining, while established borders, shrubs and mature trees give it structure and seclusion. There is access to useful sheds, a single garage and off-road parking, along with clear scope for new owners to make the space their own. A rare opportunity in one of south Cambridgeshire's most characterful villages.

Location – Guilden Morden

Guilden Morden is a peaceful parish village in southwest Cambridgeshire, 16 miles from Cambridge and 5 miles from Royston. The parish's western border follows the River Cam, while the eastern border follows a stream separating it from the neighbouring village of Steeple Morden. There are plenty of routes to explore the natural surroundings, and two traditional village pubs, one of which offers a delightful culinary experience provided by an award-winning chef. The village has a thriving community, a highly regarded primary school, a village hall, a variety of social activities, and St Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th Century. A railway station 4 miles away provides direct links to both Cambridge and London Kings Cross. Royston is a short distance away for a leisure centre, sports clubs, surgeries, supermarkets and schools for all ages. The A1M and M11 are within a 15-minute drive via the A10/A505, and Stansted and Luton airports are both 30 minutes away.
