Description

Moor Row Farm is part of a property, which has been divided up in recent years and this was the original farmhouse. The neighbouring outbuildings have been converted to 3 dwellings by the new owners who are one family.
Moor Row Farm has a right of way from the no through lane over a widened and improved access drive which leads into the garden and a large parking area.
The house is detached, is of brick and stone construction under a clay tiled roof and has double glazing.

Like many country properties the entrance which is mainly used is the stable door which leads into a large boot room which has a tiled floor and plenty of room for coats and boots – essential for country living. There's a big pantry and an arch into an area, with space for a washing machine and a door into the cloakroom (with handbasin and wc).

A stable door opens from the boot room into the farmhouse kitchen and breakfast room. This has a tiled floor, a good range of fitted units, 2 sinks, work surfaces and appliances including a hob, extractor oven and microwave oven. There's also an oil fired Aga which has a back boiler providing the hot water. Off the kitchen is the dining room which has doors to the hall and a garden room.
