Description
Set in a glorious position within Gayton village with outstanding views, Moat Farm is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial unmodernised 18th century farmhouse set in over 8 acres of land. Whilst now in need of significant works, Moat Farm represents an excellent opportunity to create a substantial country house in a very popular village setting.
Entered via either a front or rear door, the entrance hall offers access to all principal ground floor accommodation. The rear facing dual aspect sitting room provides panoramic views of the adjoining paddocks, whilst the vast drawing room also offers a dual aspect and plenty of space to entertain guests. The dining room is off the opposite side of the entrance hall, and provides direct access to the kitchen. Now in need of complete renewal, the kitchen could offer a spacious hub for this period home and includes a utility room, guest WC and back stairs to the first floor as well as a door to both the front and rear. The main staircase rises from the entrance hall to the bright first floor landing. The landing is split into two sections and offers access to all five bedrooms on this side of the house. There is also a study and family bathroom. A staircase rises again to a second floor level which sits above the front part of the house and could be used as further bedroom or living accommodation as required.
Directly adjoining the house itself is a two bedroom cottage. The cottage offers well-proportioned accommodation including kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The cottage could be incorporated into the main house, offer extended family accommodation or could even be refurbished to offer Airbnb style income (subject to the necessary consents).
Gardens, grounds and outbuildings
Set down a driveway leading off a no through road, Moat Farm offers excellent potential to create a substantial frontage. A large grassed area at the front of the house offers access to the 1,510sq ft brick and tile barn. The barn has been recently reroofed and offers enormous potential whilst currently set out as stabling.
To the rear of the main house is a substantial moat and associated fish pond, which both form part of a scheduled monument. There is access to the rear of the barn to the remainder of the land, which is split into three fields and ideal for grazing. There are outstanding views across fields and towards the Sandon Estate from the rear of the property.
All in all the plot totals 8.21 acres.
Services
Mains electricity and water supply. Oil fired central heating and private drainage system.
