Unique family home in the north Cotswold village of Dorsington.
Description
The Moat House, parts of which date back to the Middle Ages, is a stunning
country house set in formal gardens. Heaped in history, the House was extended
in the sixteenth century and over time became the centre of village life, as a
working farm and more recently as a private residence.
There are several unique features including an imposing fireplace in the
hallway, an award winning 20th Century “glass room” which cantilevers over
part of the moat and an ancient apple press located outside the main entrance
to the house. The principal living accommodation is set out over two floors
with a versatile layout which is ideal for the demands of family life. The
property retains numerous wonderful period features and is offered in
excellent condition.
The Moat House is approached from the south side through an imposing oak door.
Opening the door, you enter an impressive hall with a magnificent fireplace
and hearth which extends up past the first floor and into the second floor. To
the right is a door to the formal dining room which opens into a study area
with view across the moat and garden. Another door leads into a wonderful
drawing room with double doors leading out to a spectacular glass room, which
sits very comfortably alongside the historic house, seeming to float over the
moat. Leading off the hall to the left is a door to the family room which
opens into a spacious kitchen/breakfast room which together provide an
exceptional space for a family to gather. A superb bespoke kitchen with an
excellent range of cabinets, an island and breakfast bar is the perfect place
for family life and entertaining. Double doors lead out to a timber framed
conservatory which lends itself to a number of uses. Also on the ground floor
is an enclosed loggia which could be used either as a bedroom or a home
office.
An oak staircase rises to the spacious first floor galleried landing with
substantial timbers which provides access to the bedroom accommodation. There
is a fabulous principal bedroom suite with dressing room with fitted cupboards
and a well - appointed bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, one with
planning permission for an en suite shower room.
As you approach the property you a presented with a tree lined driveway,
matured garden with manicured lawns, well stocked borders and established
specimen trees. There is ample parking for several cars. And an oak framed
three - bay car garage was erected in June 2022.
The property is ideally located against the North Cotswolds Hills, bordering
Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire and a stone’s throw from
Stratford upon Avon.
