Essex, CM17
detached house 
4 bedrooms Property description
A picture-perfect country residence with heritage and charm. Overlooking the sweeping expanse of Matching Green, Mulberry Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed detached home with four bedrooms and three receptions offering almost 2000 sq ft of versatile living space in a truly idyllic setting. With captivating views of the village Green and farmland views to the rear, this exceptional property combines timeless character and modern comfort. EPC exempt.
DESCRIPTION
Believed to date back to circa 1650, the cottage showcases traditional timber-frame construction and a weatherboarded façade. Matching Green itself is renowned as one of West Essex's prettiest villages complete with a cricket green, period homes, and a strong sense of community—while remaining perfectly positioned for commuters via the M11, mainline railway, and London Underground links.
The welcoming entrance hall leads to a charming dining room with a bay window overlooking the manicured front garden, and a bright sitting room featuring an open fireplace with a brick surround and hardwood flooring. The rear of the home hosts a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and a generously sized utility area. Completing the ground floor are a cloakroom and a flexible home office/study. This section of the house could be opened up to create an open plan kitchen/living space opening onto the rear garden, subject to the usual planning consents, if required.
Two staircases rise to the first floor, where you'll find four bedrooms, including a second bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom featuring a freestanding rolltop bath.
EXTERNALLY
The property is framed by mature landscaped gardens to the front and rear. A gated gravel driveway provides private parking for four to five vehicles and leads to an attached garage. The front garden is bordered by established hedging and has been well considered with its landscaping with successional planting offering interest and colour throughout the year, while a gated side entrance opens to the rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and surrounded by well-tended shrubbery, offering tranquil views across open farmland.
LOCATION
Mulberry Cottage enjoys a privileged position on the edge of Matching Green, one of England’s largest village greens, stretching over 13.8 acres and home to the local cricket club. The village boasts its own primary school and the popular Chequers Public House, with further amenities found nearby in Hatfield Heath. Excellent schooling options in both the public and private sectors are available in Bishop’s Stortford and Harlow, each also offering a wide array of shops, restaurants, and rail services to London Liverpool Street.
