Guide price £700,000–£750,000 for large five-bedroom detached property
Moores Cottage Farm is a substantial, characterful red-brick home set within approximately 2.66 acres (STMS) of gardens, courtyard and pasture. The house retains an abundance of period features — exposed timbers, a large inglenook with a new wood-burning stove, pamment flooring and multiple fireplaces — giving the principal reception rooms a warm, authentic feel. Three reception rooms, a garden room, a well-equipped kitchen with utility, and a ground-floor bedroom with two ground-floor bathrooms create versatile family living with the option of single-floor accommodation.
A self-contained two-bedroom annexe sits adjacent to the main house and is accessed externally; it offers open-plan living, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, bathroom and a mezzanine with gable window and balcony — useful for guests, extended family or rental income. Practical outbuildings include a detached garage, gravel driveway, courtyard, post-and-rail fenced paddocks with a double field shelter and wooden stables.
Notable practical points: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, the property uses private drainage and has a current EPC rating of E. The building’s solid brick walls are understood to pre-date 1900 and likely have limited insulation. Council Tax is Band E. These are important running-cost and improvement considerations for buyers planning modernisation or energy upgrades. Overall, this is a roomy, character-rich rural home suited to families seeking space and countryside living, or buyers who value conversion/upgrade potential and ancillary accommodation.
