Within the kitchen is a hidden door which leads through to a utility space and the large, luxury home cinema. A fantastic space for parties or family movie nights, this room also benefits from its own small WC.
A recently fitted oak staircase in the entrance hall rises to the first-floor landing, which is currently used as an office space and allows access to a modern family bathroom and four double bedrooms, two of which have mezzanine floors as well as en suite shower rooms.
The master bedroom is an impressive size – taking up the entire right side of the property. It benefits from a modern shower room with his and hers wash basins, a walk-in wardrobe and French doors onto to a peaceful sun terrace overlooking the moat and paddocks.

Moat Farm’s expansive accommodation also includes two recently refurbished annexes, which are attached to the main house via the utility and have their own private accesses off a shared secondary driveway.
The first annexe has one bedroom and one bathroom, a large kitchen and a separate living room, while annexe two is a two-bedroom with an L-shaped living space and kitchenette and a good-sized bathroom.
These sizeable spaces are ideal for hosting friends and family and could provide a potential revenue stream as holiday lets, subject to the relevant consents.
