Brampton, Cumbria, CA8

Moss House is a substantial 6 bedroom period residence sitting in a generous plot of around 2.5 acres. The property includes a large partially converted coach house, a beautiful courtyard, glorious gardens and wood all within walking distance of the popular market town of Brampton.


Accommodation

Moss House is a detached period residence thought to date back to around the early 1800's offering traditional and versatile accommodation over two floors. The property retains an array of original features such as doors, fireplaces, ceilings and windows which blend well with the more recent additions to the property of the conservatory and bathrooms.

From the courtyard you access the property through a recently added conservatory which offers a relaxing area to sit and enjoy the surroundings. From here you access the main property and a snug/entrance hall with fireplace. From the hall there is access to a WC and larger hallway which leads to a beautiful lounge with large bay window which floods light into the room and benefits from seating round the window edge. The room also benefits from a large "Baxi fireplace" and plenty of space for family gatherings. Next to the lounge is the original front door which opens into the dining area, also benefitting from large windows with original shutters and an original fireplace. Through a door next to the fireplace is a further snug with fireplace and door out to the garden.

The kitchen although in need of some modernising is a well-appointed and bright room, benefiting from large windows overlooking the courtyard. Amtico floor and wall units along with an integrated hob and oven create a practical workspace. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room with plenty of extra storage and housing the boiler. There is also a door out to the courtyard and a back set of stairs up to the second floor.

The impressive original wooden staircase rises to the first floor, at the top of the stairs is the first double bedroom with two windows over two aspects and built-in wardrobes. The second double bedroom has a fireplace and loft hatch with views of the fields. A smaller bedroom could be used as an office/dressing room. The fourth double bedroom is larger with glorious views.

A second hallway leads to a shower room with walk-in shower, with a bathroom next door with free standing bath, laundry and towel cupboard. A fifth double bedroom with recessed cupboard and shelving also has a small landing to the back stair well from the utility room. The sixth and final room also has access to the back staircase. These two rooms could be used for separate accommodation with their own entrance from the courtyard.


Outside

Sitting across the courtyard is a detached coach house offering a range of flexible uses, currently undeveloped on the ground floor with ample storage space/garaging. The first floor was converted in 1981 and is a superb space with vaulted beamed ceiling, kitchen area and bathroom. This has previously been used as office space by the current vendors, but has potential to create further accommodation or even holiday accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.


Externally Moss House sits in grounds of around 2.5 acres including beautiful, landscaped gardens designed to offer various areas of interest with a beck that meanders through a water garden, established flower beds, extensive lawns, woodland areas, vegetable garden, a charming stone outbuilding, ideal for potting shed and garden storage and a number of terraces perfect to sit and enjoy the views or for alfresco dining. Both the barn and the house sit around an impressive private courtyard with ample parking for a large number of vehicles. There is also a hidden well under the courtyard.
