DESCRIPTION:

Moat House Farm comprises a most unique and fascinating detached period black and white residence being a former farmhouse dating back to the 16th Century with later additions and extensions through the years. Of particular interest is the dry moat which lies on two sides of the property and is included within Moat House Farm. Moat House Farm would make a charming family home, however the property also presents a good opportunity to derive an income from the separate cottage as a rental or holiday let.  The cottage could also be used for relatives or even could be linked into the main residence if one desired. The property is steeped in character containing some fine exposed timber beams and also retains the solid floor to bedroom one which was originally the 'cheese' room, used for the storage of cheese in by-gone days.  

Moat House Farm has undergone various improvements by the current vendors and the well presented accommodation comprises;  to the ground floor, RECEPTION HALL with doors radiating off to:- GUEST CLOAKROOM W.C which has been modernised, the LOUNGE which has windows overlooking the front elevation, feature beams and a feature fireplace with flagstone hearth and a log burner inset. There is an inner hall where there is access and stairs leading down to the PANTRY/WINE CELLAR and further leads to the BREAKFAST KITCHEN which has flagstone flooring, a range of base and wall mounted units with rolled edge work surfaces over and a gas hob inset, integrated oven, and a one and a half bowl sink with mixer tap over. There is an inglenook fireplace with a log burning stove inset and a feature fitted ?monks? bench.  There are doors leading off to:- DINING ROOM where there is a further log burner and the GARDEN ROOM/REAR LOBBY.

To the first floor is a SPLIT LEVEL LANDING where there are doors leading off to the modernised FAMILY BATHROOM where there is a slipper roll top bath with a telephone shower attachment, walk in double shower cubicle with thermostat shower,  a traditional pedestal wash hand basin and low level w.c. There is a wood laminate floor, feature beams and a window overlooking the side elevation.  There are THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS to the first floor and from the third bedroom, stairs rise to a STUDY/HOBBY ROOM. From the first floor landing a further set of stairs also rise to the second floor accommodation where there are three spaces, which would make an ideal master suite or be useful for a teenager. The space comprises; a DRESSING AREA with a door leading into a large storage space, which in our opinion would make an ideal WALK-IN-WARDROBE.  A couple of steps rise to a further BEDROOM/STUDY.
