Description Moss Cottage originally belonged to an historic private Estate. The present owners, after purchasing the property, have enjoyed its use as a family home and have in more recent times undertaken an outstanding scheme of refurbishment and extension. The specification and design quality is extremely high throughout with tremendous thought, care and skill in evidence. The house itself offers well balanced and spacious accommodation yet is relatively straight forward to run. At ground floor level off the entrance hall is a well proportioned drawing room that extends to approximately 23ft in length. The focal point of the ground floor space is the open plan breakfast kitchen/dining area which can truly be said to represent the very best in modern day design and finish. Equipped with an excellent range of bespoke storage units, central island and a three oven Aga, the area as a whole also overlooks the gardens.

A framed opening leads to the sitting room which has a log burning stove and two sets of French doors leading onto a South facing terrace. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a study situated at the far end of the house and a useful utility room located off the principal entrance hall. The first floor accommodation is accessed via an oak staircase with the landing area having oak flooring and a galleried seating area from which the truly spectacular views over both the garden and towards the Peckforton hills can be enjoyed. The same view is replicated in the very impressive master bedroom suite which in addition to having the spectacular feature window has an en suite bathroom and dressing room. There is also a guest room with en suite facility, three further double bedrooms and a well equipped family bathroom. Gardens and Grounds Externally the house is approached down a long sweeping driveway where gardens have been skilfully landscaped and designed to offer a picturesque environment without the mental and physical burdon of extensive ongoing maintenance. Upon reaching the house there is a large double garage with workshop and attic storage in addition to there being a stable in the grounds. The gardens and grounds are a true delight and have to be viewed and experienced in order to take in their true beauty and quality. In addition to ample areas of lawn there is also mature hedging, many trees and very generously proportioned patio and seating areas. As already mentioned there are paddocks together with pockets of woodland, the whole extending to approximately ten acres and providing a truly beautiful environment with the paddocks ideal for the grazing of horses and other livestock.

Within the gardens is a fabulous large detached annexe which is presently utilised as an art studio but could comfortably be adapted to be a dependent relative annexe, teenagers play area or home office.
