The charming three-bedroom property, named Moor Cottage, is well-presented throughout with large, open rooms and a straight-forward layout. The ground floor is mainly consumed by two generous rooms, namely the kitchen and the sitting room. The latter is a dual-aspect room with lovely oak flooring, a fitted bookcase, an LPG wood burner that acts as the focal point, and enough space to accommodate a dining table and chairs. French doors lead out to the garden giving easy access to the lush-green environment outside.

The bright, spacious kitchen has a traditional farmhouse-style look with a range of cream-coloured wooden cupboards that are fitted around a pale green Aga in a charming, tiled recess. Natural light floods into the room via the skylights emphasising the space and the oak flooring while a set of double doors open to the front garden making al fresco dining an easy option.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, each with a lovely view of the garden, and a stylish, modern family bathroom.

Outside, beautifully presented, private and secluded gardens surround the cottage and are a real highlight of the property. Large expanses of lawn are interspersed with a wealth of mature shrubs and trees that provide a haven for wildlife, which is further enhanced by the delightful pond in the south-east corner of the garden. There are plenty of paved areas to sit outside and soak up the peace and tranquillity of the location.

Moor Cottage is approached from a private driveway leading to two areas with ample space for parking.
