We are delighted to have been instructed to offer for sale this period home – as featured in one of the early series of “Location, Location, Location” on Channel 4. Indeed “Moss Cottage” oozes character and charm having retained many of its original fittings whilst it has also been well maintained/updated and so providing all the feature comforts of a more modern home. The accommodation itself is well proportioned including 2 double bedrooms (both with antique fireplaces) and 2 reception rooms which all enjoy superb vistas over the mature gardens and the surrounding countryside. Some modernisation (mainly with regard to the kitchen) is required but “Moss Cottage” offers a unique opportunity to purchase a delightful period home and as such we highly recommend viewing to fully appreciate the location, proportions and potential of the same.
