Property Description - Moreton House is an elegant Grade II Listed village house with Georgian origins and later additions and offering extensive accommodation on three floors plus cellars. Constructed predominately of limestone with a brick wing
under a slate roof, the house is positioned in the heart of the conservation area of the village.

The property offers a wealth of original period features including pedimented centre with central entrance with Doric doorcase and attached columns, open fireplaces, casement and sliding sash windows and shutters, window seats, elegant staircase, six panel internal doors, cornicing, deep skirting boards, butlers serving table, cocktail cabinet and parquet flooring.

The current owners have undertaken numerous improvements particularly the addition of the kitchen/breakfast room and orangery, both with under floor heating. In addition the orangery has air conditioning and automatic blinds. Internally this is an impressive home with the proportions and ceiling heights reflecting its classic architectural heritage. As a result there is a real sense of space and light. Formality sits well besides modern day informality, so, for many, a perfect
combination. Of note is a magnificent reception hall providing a real sense of arrival; impressive drawing room, dining room and orangery; a cosy snug for winter evenings; the green sitting room with space for a desk/home office; bespoke handmade
fitted kitchen and breakfast room with two oven Aga for informal entertaining; substantial cellarage; extensive principal and secondary bedrooms, particularly the principal suite enjoying a westerly aspect over the gardens with walk in dressing room and en suite bath/shower room. There are five/six further bedrooms and two further bath/shower rooms laid out across the first and second floors, the second floor bedrooms being ideal for teenagers or an au pair. Bedroom seven is currently used as an office.

Externally, there are extensive landscaped gardens predominately to the rear, providing a real sense of space and privacy. To the front, the house is well screened by a mature yew hedge with a gravel driveway and parking area to the side. To the rear, the gardens are laid to lawn with deep borders and flowering beds along with various shrubs and trees, including oak, beech, cherry, yew, silver birch, willow and lime. There is a lovely York stone paved terrace running along the rear (west facing) elevation capturing the evening light. Ornamental pond with water fountain and further paved seating areas. Walled vegetable garden with raised beds and greenhouse. Ha-ha and stone steps lead down to further grounds laid to grass with two inter-connecting spring fed ponds beyond. Hard tennis court with floor lighting. Timber summerhouse. There is no doubt that the gardens are an important feature providing a fantastic private backdrop to this handsome house. In all about 3.41 acres.

There is a range of traditional outbuildings comprising double garage, former coach house with dovecote providing further garaging, inspection pit and loft storage over, workshop, bin and garden stores. (Outbuildings total 1024 sq ft)

Moreton House represents all that is Georgian, with the added advantage of the "must have" modern kitchen/breakfast room and a great range of reception rooms, ideal for families and entertaining. In a way, having your front door in the village and back door in the country, is the best of both worlds.
