The Property
Originally built in the 1970s with natural stone elevations beneath a tiled roof, Hunters Moon has recently undergone a complete transformation.

It balances luxury with a sense of home, offering an effortless feeling of comfort throughout.

A wide gravelled drive leads through wooden gates to a large parking area, setting the tone for the sense of space and privacy found throughout. The entrance hall immediately impresses, with reclaimed hardwood flooring, ornate carved staircase and period radiators creating a warm, elegant tone.

At the heart of the house, the vaulted kitchen and breakfast room is flooded with light from Velux windows. A shaker style kitchen in soft cream is topped with oak work surfaces and opens into a charming breakfast area with flagstone floors and a striking inglenook fireplace housing a range cooker and wood burning stove. A door opens to the rear garden, encouraging an easy rhythm between indoors and out as well as glazed doors inviting you to the pool room.
