Description

Moor Cottage, a Grade II* listed property dating back to 1480, is a unique and captivating home with a rich history. Spanning over 2700sqft, the property boasts a stunning plot of approximately 1.6 acres, featuring gardens, a tennis court, a triple garage, and a paddock. The property has been lovingly maintained by the current owners since 1981, who have raised their family within its walls. With its traditional construction and materials, Moor Cottage is a true piece of architecture, with features such as 15th-century paintwork, marks on the beams from candles, and a gulley in the utility room that tells of its days as a cowshed. The property has a country feel, with a farmhouse-style kitchen, a sunroom, and a charming office. The gardens are an English idyll, perfect for entertaining, and the tennis court and summerhouse offer additional recreational space. Located on an exclusive lane on the edge of the Chilterns AONB, Moor Cottage offers a peaceful and private setting, with the River Gade running nearby and the National Trust's Ashridge Estate and Gaddesden Estate within walking distance.
