Property overview Moss Cottage is a lovely Four Bedroom Detached former Farm House full of charm and potential, that's set on approximately 4.5 acres of Paddocks, Gardens and a large Pond.

The cottage is approached by a long drive, and the two main Paddocks and Woodland area are to the left of the drive. To the front of the cottage is a large, gravelled Parking area where you could easily park 4-5 vehicles, and to your right is the large Shippon - the original cattle barn - with an electric door leading to two large storage areas and two workshop spaces.

The cottage itself is to your left and offers you light and spacious accommodation throughout. The front door opens to the wide Hallway with stairs to the first floor, a large coats cupboard and a door to the Guest WC to your right. The Lounge is full of light and character, having dual-aspect windows, beams to the ceiling and a multi-fuel stove set in a large, bricked inglenook fireplace with an oak mantle over.

The Dining Room has a quarry tiled floor and French doors out to the Courtyard Garden to the side of the property. The Breakfast Kitchen is another generous, light space with windows to the rear of the property and a door out to the side Courtyard. There's an excellent range of traditional oak units with an electric six-burner Range Master oven, and space for a fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and wine cooler. Off the Kitchen is the Utility with a laundry pulley to the ceiling, further kitchen units with a sink, space for a freezer, the oil boiler and a door out to the rear of the property.

To the first floor, the Bedrooms are set around a generous Landing with space for your desk or reading chair. The Principal Bedroom is a generous double room with dual aspect windows, and the remaining Bedrooms are all double rooms. Completing the accommodation is the Family Bathroom with bath, corner shower, wash hand basin and WC.

The wonderful Gardens and Paddocks have been nurtured with wildlife in mind, so throughout the property you'll find bird, bat and owl boxes, and pathways leading through natural grasslands. The Gardens are full of fruit trees including damson, plum, greengage and mulberry, with patches of wild garlic and chives. Beyond is the large pond that has a pathway leading you round the pond and back to the main garden.

The paddocks have traditional hedgerows, with mown paths through the grassland allowing for wildflowers and wildlife to flourish, plus a small woodland area. The outside space here really is something very special and definitely needs to be explored to appreciate the natural spaces it offers.

Therefore, we recommend you view this wonderful property to explore the cottage and gardens - so please call the team at our Market Drayton office to arrange your viewing.
