Moorside Road, Tottington

Moorside Road reveals itself quietly, unfolding into a home that feels wonderfully private from the moment you arrive. Off road parking sits conveniently to the left, leading down toward the garden gate, while Indian stone steps lead gently down through the front garden, where gravel and stone create a low maintenance canvas softened by raised sleepers and potted plants, ready to bloom further with time.

Step inside, and the entrance hall immediately lives up to its promise. Amtico flooring flows seamlessly underfoot, grounding the space while reflecting the light that pours in from outside. Stairs rise gently to the right, and fitted cupboards line the hallway, offering storage that quietly supports everyday life, from coats and shoes to laundry neatly tucked away.

This first impression is one of space and brightness, a hallway that feels open and calm, exactly as the homeowners first noticed and loved.

Continue through, where a downstairs toilet sits discreetly to the side, styled in rich green tones that bring warmth and character, while remaining practical and welcoming for guests.

At the end of the hallway, the home opens into its true heart: a beautifully sociable open plan kitchen and living space, where light and landscape take centre stage. Bifolding doors stretch across the back wall, instantly connecting the indoors with the garden beyond. Trees and fields frame the view, bringing a sense of peace that shifts with the seasons and fills the room with birdsong and soft movement.

The kitchen itself is both stylish and generous. Ample cabinetry and a central island offer plenty of space to prepare, gather, and linger. Spotlights glow overhead, while the palette of white and black is lifted with hints of yellow, giving the room warmth and personality. Built in appliances sit neatly within the design, making entertaining effortless, whether it’s casual breakfasts at the island or evenings that stretch long into conversation.

Beside the kitchen, the living area settles naturally around a wood burning stove. Set against a navy blue feature wall and framed by a striking log store, it becomes the soul of the space. On winter nights, this is where the house gathers, warmth radiating softly as the outside world quietens. In summer, doors open wide and the room breathes out into the garden, blurring the boundary between inside and out.

Wrapped around from the living space, the dining area offers a quieter rhythm. A large window looks out toward the front garden, drawing daylight through the room, while feature wallpaper adds texture and continuity. There’s space here to gather around the table, to talk, to linger, and to enjoy the simple pleasure of being together. It’s a room that adapts easily, whether for lively family meals or slow weekend breakfasts.

Climb the staircase and the home continues to feel bright and composed. Pale grey carpet softens each step, while a Velux window above pours sunlight onto the landing below. Sage green walls bring a grounding calm, creating a gentle transition between the busy heart of the home and the quieter spaces above.

The family bathroom sits just off the top of the stairs, finished with a modern three piece suite. Geometric tiling in soft blue tones wraps the space with character, while feature LED lighting and a large Velux window fill the room with light. A shower over the bath offers flexibility for family life, and the space feels fresh, contemporary, and quietly indulgent, perfectly designed for unwinding after a busy day.

Across the landing, the principal bedroom feels like a retreat in every sense. A feature floor to ceiling window draws the outdoors in, overlooking trees and open fields beyond. Natural light moves gently across the room throughout the day, accompanied by birdsong from outside. Fitted wardrobes line one wall, offering generous storage, while soft blue tones add a sense of calm. An en suite shower room completes the suite, styled with contrasting tiling and a modern drench shower, creating a private sanctuary to begin and end the day.

The second bedroom is a generous double room, overlooking the rear garden. Pale grey tones keep the room light and versatile, with plenty of space to shape it as a guest room, teenager’s retreat, or creative space.

At the end of the landing, the third bedroom features a striking window that fills the room with natural light. Accents of pale blue bring softness, while the proportions allow the space to adapt easily as a nursery, study, or peaceful single bedroom.

Step outside through the bifolding doors and the south-facing garden opens into a space designed for both relaxation and imagination. An Indian stone patio stretches wide, offering room for family seating or outdoor dining surrounding a log burner. Sleeper beds frame the space, ready for planting and seasonal colour.

Further down, a second seating area on gravel invites quiet moments with a book or a cup of coffee, while a garden room sits waiting at the edge of the space. Used as a private escape, it’s perfect for a home office, studio, or simply somewhere to retreat and listen to the birds sing.

Beyond, a generous lawn stretches out, bordered by trees and wildlife. Deer, owls, squirrels and countless birds visit regularly, making the garden feel alive and ever changing. For children, it’s a place of adventure and discovery; for adults, a space to unwind, watch the seasons turn, and feel connected to the landscape.

The property is freehold with a rent charge of 15 per annum.
