At the heart of the living area, a contemporary gas fireplace provides a sleek focal point, perfect for cosy evenings in. The bow window draws the eye outward, maximising the far-reaching views across the surrounding fields and beyond, creating a constant connection with the countryside. 

Bifold doors open directly onto a covered seating area, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors and making summer entertaining effortless. Whether hosting friends or enjoying quieter moments, the flow between inside and out feels natural and unforced.

Just outside the bedroom, the landing reveals a generous walk in wardrobe, thoughtfully fitted with shelving and hanging, providing additional storage while keeping the bedroom itself calm and uncluttered. 

Light filled, well considered and quietly indulgent, the principal suite offers a true sense of escape, elevated above everyday life and framed by views that never lose their impact. 

Family bedrooms and bathroom 

Completing the first floor are two further generous double bedrooms, both thoughtfully positioned close to the principal suite, making them ideal as children’s bedrooms or for family living. 

Each bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage while maintaining a sense of space. To the rear, one bedroom is lit by a Velux window, creating a bright and peaceful retreat, while to the front, the dormer style window frames far reaching countryside views, mirroring the outlook enjoyed from the principal bedroom. 

The landing itself is light and practical, featuring additional built in storage, access to eaves loft storage and a Velux window that draws natural daylight into the heart of this level. 

Serving these bedrooms is the well-appointed family bathroom, designed with both relaxation and practicality in mind. An oversized Jacuzzi bath offers the perfect place to unwind, complemented by a separate enclosed shower. Fitted storage with inset wash basin, WC and heated towel rail complete the space, creating a bathroom that easily meets the needs of a busy household. 

Together, this upper-level forms a comfortable and cohesive family zone, offering space, light and storage in equal measure. 

The annexe 

Reconfigured by the current owners, the detached annexe at Moorview offers a superb level of independence while remaining closely connected to the main house. Ideal for multi generational living, guests, older children or home working, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to feel like a home in its own right. 

The annexe opens into a well proportioned kitchen diner, fully equipped with fitted appliances and designed as a practical yet sociable space for everyday living. From here, the layout flows through to a comfortable lounge area, where large windows frame views across the courtyard and out towards the rolling countryside beyond, ensuring the annexe enjoys the same outlook as the main house. 

A generous double bedroom provides a calm and private retreat, complete with a walk in wardrobe and a contemporary en suite shower room. This arrangement offers both comfort and independence, making the annexe suitable for a wide range of uses without compromise. 

Attached to the annexe, yet accessed separately, is the garage. Offering excellent storage and practicality, it provides valuable additional space while keeping everyday living areas uncluttered. 

Versatile, private and beautifully positioned, the annexe enhances Moorview’s flexibility and appeal, offering future owners a range of lifestyle possibilities. 

Gardens and outdoor living

Directly off the main lounge, a covered pergola provides a sheltered outdoor seating area, ideal for alfresco dining, evening drinks or simply enjoying the changing light across the fields beyond. With the garden flowing seamlessly from the living spaces, this area becomes a natural extension of the home during the warmer months. 

The gardens wrap around the property, offering a balance of open lawn and defined spaces. To the rear, a dedicated play area provides a safe and contained spot for children, while the wider garden offers plenty of room to unwind, entertain or enjoy quieter moments outdoors.
