Moorfields

About the property

A unique opportunity to acquire a quintessentially English property located in Pibsbury, a short distance outside of Langport. This home has parts dating back to the 18th Century making Moorfields a stunning, Grade II listed, thatched cottage, offering generous and flexible accommodation throughout, set within beautiful grounds totalling 0.4 acres. Externally there is a double garage which is prime for annex accommodation and a wooden storage barn.

.

The property has been sympathetically and tastefully renovated by the current owners with attention to detail being of utmost importance.

Opposite the property is a paddock measuring approx. 1.75 acres which is a wildlife haven and a great opportunity for its new owners to become creative in the area.

About the inside

As you enter the property through a partially glazed, wooden door which floods the entrance hallway with natural light, it is instantly evident that this loved home has been finished to a superb specification, whilst retaining beautiful period features such as exposed stonework and wood panelling and sets the tone for the remainder of the property.

Off the entrance hall to the right, is the first of the reception rooms. Currently used as an office, this beautiful, dual aspect space features an original fireplace and exposed wooden beams and could offer flexibility to be used as a snug or playroom.

.

To the left of the entrance hall is the dining room featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace with an original bread oven, with delightful exposed beams. There is a window seat which offers view across the front garden and the mature woodland beyond. From the dining room there is also access to the first floor via set of stone stairs.

Towards the rear of the property is the kitchen which has been fitted with bespoke, reclaimed Elm wall and base units, topped with a beautiful, yet incredibly durable Brazilian slate worktops, Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher, and Indian slate flooring that extends into the rear hallway.

.

The rear hallway provides a perfect space for coats and muddy boots, with access to the garden at the rear, and benefits from a useful cloakroom tucked behind a wooden door under a beautiful, exposed stone archway.

Off the rear hallway is a beautiful sitting room abundant with character features. This former bothy features slate flooring, an incredible vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, inglenook fireplace, original bread oven, wood burning stove and even a well located in the floor. Dual aspects views across both the rear and side garden ensures there is plenty of natural light, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind.

As you return through the kitchen, you will find an adjoining snug. This versatile space again, featuring exposed beams, provides a cosy space for reading or enjoying a coffee in the afternoon sun, whilst also providing access to the ground floor bedroom.

This wonderfully light and airy bedroom has been fitted with built in wardrobes and offers its next owners flexible living options, ideal for guest use, or multi-generational living. As with all bedrooms in the property, this room benefits from an ensuite shower room, which has been tastefully finished with a white toilet, pedestal basin and walk in shower complimented with modern stone tiles.

.

As you ascend the stone stairs from the dining room, there is a beautifully light and spacious first floor landing providing a secondary sitting room. The space boasts southerly views across fields, and wonderful exposed stone-built chimney breast. The space naturally lends itself to becoming a fourth bedroom with some simple reconfiguring should any potential owners wish to do so.

From here, there is access to the primary suite offering a dual aspect dressing room with built in wardrobes, ensuite shower room, and superb bedroom with an original cast iron fireplace.

.

The third and final bedroom across the landing reiterates the attention to detail as is demonstrated throughout the rest of the property. Having recently undergone a programme of enhancements, this bedroom offers ample space for a king-sized bed, alongside freestanding furniture and a beautifully finished, modern ensuite shower room.

About the outside

At the front of the property there is a pretty garden, abundant with mature plants and shrubs, and a gated path leading to the front door. A beautiful Wisteria climbs its way across the property, and comes alive during the spring, only further enhancing this chocolate box cottage.

To the side there is a gravel driveway offering parking for multiple vehicles leading up to a double garage with electric up and over door, double glazed windows and both side and rear access doors. Inside, stairs lead to a secondary floor. Currently used for storage, the garage provides huge potential for conversion, in turn, providing further ancillary accommodation, subject to obtaining necessary permissions.

Tucked behind the garage is a timber storage barn ideal for garden tools and machinery.

.

The stunning rear garden is enclosed making it a safe space for children and pets to explore. There are two wonderful patio areas, a stone built patio adjoining the property, with a further at the north of the plot, both perfect for alfresco dining. There is an array of vegetable beds aswell as mature trees which include a monkey puzzle tree, and both cooking and eating apple trees. As you continue through the garden, there is a fenced area laid to gravel with flowerbeds abundant with tropical plants taking advantage of one of the sunniest aspects of the plot. A gate leads you into the side garden which is mostly laid to lawn. Here you will find a pretty pond, a gorgeous birch tree, and wooden pergola creating the perfect place to enjoy evening drinks throughout the warmer months.
