Description
Moor View is a delightful, detached period property, believed to date back to the 1700 s and built of local stone under part tiled, part thatched roof, and which has been recently rethatched by the owners.
The property offers a wealth of character and has undergone a full renovation by the owners, from an overgrown, tumble down building to a charming character cottage with beautiful gardens and very useful studio. Careful consideration has gone into ensuring as many of the original features are retained, whilst modern services have been sympathetically added.
The ground floor to Moor View provides two points of access, either through the quirky original doorway into the sitting room, or a stable door at the far end into the kitchen breakfast room.
The kitchen has been well appointed with a comprehensive range of cream fronted kitchen units, complemented by granite worktops and limestone flooring. A pleasant dual aspect provides plenty of natural light and wonderful views over the garden and far reaching vista over the local countryside. Fitted appliances include a 7 ring Stoves range cooker, integrated dishwasher, washing machine and Belfast sink with mixer tap over.
Off to the side, a panel and latch door leads through to the ground floor cloakroom with wash basin and loo, whilst additional storage is found in the cupboard under the stairs.
Under floor heating runs throughout the whole of the ground floor.
The sitting room offers stunning flagstone flooring, exposed beams and masonry, and an original cast iron stove in the Inglenook. An outlook to the side over the garden is offered, along with a fitted window seat, whilst the dining room snug is off to the other side and has a dual aspect to the south and east aspect, along with exposed beams and oak flooring.
First floor
A carved hardwood staircase rises to the first floor, where there are three good bedrooms which all offer a wonderful nod to the past with a combination of exposed beams, joists and original elm and oak flooring. Both of the two main bedrooms provide fitted storage, whilst the vaulted master bedroom offers generous amounts of space and has French doors which open out onto a lovely, south facing balcony, taking in the best of the views on offer.
All three bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom, offering both a shower enclosure and panel bath, along with loo and wash basin.
Outbuildings
The property benefits from a detached garage and studio room to the rear of the property.
Above the garage, there is a good size home studio, which is accessed by an internal staircase from within the garage and benefits from light, heating and power, as well as a window to the front aspect.
Outside
At the side of the house there is a beautiful, south facing landscaped garden which is largely laid to lawn, with a good selection of mature plants. From the garden there are the most fantastic, far reaching views over the local countryside to be enjoyed. A pathway leads out through the rose arch and out onto Church Street, whilst a gravelled, gated driveway provides ample parking and access to the house, garage and studio.
