Description
Description
The Moat House is a delightful Grade II Listed village house, formally the old rectory, which dates back to the 16th and 17th century, remodelled and extended in 1847 and further extended with a great entertaining room in 1987.
The construction is predominantly gault brick and part timber framed under slate and tiled roofs. The house retains a great deal of character and is well situated back from a quite lane overlooking established formal gardens. The accommodation is wonderfully proportioned and laid out over three floors, with the second floor offering two further bedrooms. There are some superb features throughout the house including panelled doors, stone and wooden floors, full height sash windows and several open fireplaces. The impressive accommodation is light-filled with the main reception rooms circulating around the central reception hall with its sweeping staircase. The kitchen is located in the heart of the house with an Aga and has a walk in pantry which leads through to a utility room. From the kitchen doors open into a delightful conservatory/reception room with slate floors and under floor heating and excellent French doors out to the sheltered west facing terrace garden.
A superb feature of the house is the entertaining room addition added by the current owners and which connects with the house via the conservatory and offers a great reception/games area with an open fireplace, polished wooden floors (under floor heating) and large doors opening out to the gardens. A fine staircase at the far end of the room leads to a galleried landing and to a guest bedroom (8) with en suite bathroom (4).
The approach is over a drive to a parking sweep with a former coach house with two garden store buildings to one side. There is knot garden with orchard. Gates lead to a sunken garden and a gateway to the paddock beyond. The grounds contain an extensive range of mature specimen trees, ponds and a meadow. There is a heated swimming pool and a hard tennis court (requiring re-surfacing).
About 7 acres
