The Property Moat Farm is an impressive Victorian farmhouse, immaculately presented and surrounded by 3.2 acres (est) of gardens and paddocks, together with an exceptional range of traditional outbuildings suitable for a variety of uses. The main house enjoys spacious and well arranged accommodation over two floors, with plenty of character and natural light. A large entrance hall leads through to a the main living areas, in particular to two sitting rooms both with fireplaces, and one with underfloor heating and French doors leading out to the garden. The entrance hall then leads onto an impressive kitchen/dining area, again with French doors out to a southeast facing terrace and complete with four oven Aga. There are other useful rooms such as a cloakroom and utility room on the ground floor. The bedrooms are equally as spacious with a charming master bedroom with impressive en-suite bath/shower room, guest bedroom with adjoining dressing room with plumbing for an ensuite if required, and a further two double bedrooms; one of which is en-suite. There is also a family bathroom. The house is well presented and maintained throughout and totals approximately 3,500 sq ft. Most rooms enjoy fine views of the surrounding gardens and land, and beyond over neighbouring farmland.
Outbuildings Moat Farm has a wonderful range of traditional outbuildings, linked to the house with a covered walkway. There is a most attractive Grade II listed timber frame barn measuring approximately 60 x 19 and linked to two wings stretching away to the south with a large enclosed courtyard in-between. These wings currently comprise stabling of three loose boxes and storage, and a further barn and two single and one double garages. In addition to the main bulk of buildings, is a single storey traditional cart lodge of five bays with incorporated studio room connected to power. The buildings have been inspected by Waveney District Council and a letter is on file and available upon request from the selling agent. Outside Moat Farm is approached from the west over a long shared drive with the neighbouring estate, and entered via an electric wooden five bar field gate onto a gravelled drive sweeping up to the house and continuing round past all the outbuildings. The majority of the grounds are laid to lawn with a large expanse located between the outbuildings and the main house. Further lawns surround the house to the east, south and west. Adjoining the house to the south and accessed from the kitchen via French doors, is a decked terrace providing a wonderful area for outside dining and with fine views of the paddocks and farmland beyond. The garden is entirely enclosed. The main paddocks are to the south and southeast, and are of established grass with post and railed boundaries. To the east of the outbuildings is a further area of grass and concrete hardstanding leading to a covered Monarch horse walker and continuing round to the all weather ménage. Both provide all year round equestrian facilities and are conveniently located to the stables. The land, much like the rest of the property, has been very well maintained, and improved in the current ownership.
