PROPERTY OVERVIEW

Situated in the heart of Hampton-in-Arden village, this immaculately maintained and beautifully presented five bedroom detached manor house stands within gardens and grounds extending to approximately 1.1 acres. Taking its name from an ancient dry moat, which is situated close to its boundary, the house is steeped in local history, and over the years has been superbly remodelled. It enjoys a wealth of period features including leaded windows, original period fireplaces and medieval masonry to the rear of the property.

A further family / sitting room leads to a breakfast kitchen finished with farmhouse style units and Corian worksurfaces. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a most versatile and large room which is currently used as a library and leads to a separate large study, offering the potential to be used as a large play room, further reception room or extensive home office. To the first floor is a most magnificent Tudor fireplace reflecting how families originally used the manor house and the landing leads to five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a separate dressing room and ensuite facilities.

Outside, the property affords a double garage, utility / boot room and storeroom and is set within stunning manicured gardens and grounds with extensive paved patios and an abundance of formal borders, shrubs and trees providing immense privacy, yet all set in the heart of this beautiful village.
