Ideally positioned on the rural borders of Hanbury, Moat Cottage is an exceptionally well appointed and individually designed character home, bordered by stunning open views and residing within established 1.25 acre grounds. Presenting a charming exterior and a superb standard of finish throughout, Moat Cottage has received extensive refurbishments in recent years including a double storey extension to create a magnificent open plan kitchen and a luxurious master suite with oak framed balcony, as well as the addition of an adjacent one acre paddock. Bordered by exceptional open views over surrounding peaceful countryside, Moat Cottage offers a truly one-off home, balancing well proportioned accommodation both inside and out with the delights of rural living in this tranquil yet well-connected location.
Gated access opens into the driveway and 0.25 acre wrap around gardens, with a pathway leading to the ‘bootility’ style reception hall. Also to the ground floor is a lounge with stunning garden and countryside views, a utility and refitted shower room, with the extended open plan living and dining kitchen enjoying a sunny westerly aspect. The shower room serves as both a guests WC and as an en suite to a good sized double bedrooms also set to the ground floor, being ideal as a guest suite or further reception room.

The principal bedroom has been extended and remodelled to create a large bedroom suite with shower room and a magnificent oak framed balcony overlooking far-reaching views. A one acre paddock which belongs to Moat Cottage lies adjacent to the formal gardens, and our vendor has advised there may be potential to purchase additional land if desired. The property benefits from approved planning permission for a new detached garage with office above which would offer an ideal Air BnB style rental, and Moat Cottage is serviced by hardwood double glazed windows, oil central heating (2020 tank and boiler) and a private drainage system.
