Tenure: Freehold
Set in a beautifully mature cottage garden of under a quarter an acre sits this wonderfully presented attached country cottage is within a gentle walk of the village church of St. Peters and country walks around the historic village of Minsterworth.
You find Moonbeam Cottage a couple of minute's drive from A48, off Pound Lane (What3words location: crowned.bounty.manual) The five-bar wooden gate and post-and-rail fenced bridge across a country storm drain makes for an impressive entrance. The driveway opens to a large parking area for circa four vehicles and pretty gardens beyond. A gravelled parking bay adjacent to the road accommodates additional parking for two plus vehicles.
The grounds are full of mature shrubs and trees including cherry, walnut, hazelnut, plum & apple, silver birch, elderflower & ginkgo biloba. To the left of the bridged entrance, an additional arched pedestrian entrance brings you to the graveled parking area and a lawn with central pathway leading up past a greenhouse, garden shed and vegetable plot on the left; annex & timber workshop workshop to the right. The cottage is found at the top of the path, to the right of which is a large raised decking area (including hot-tub area) overlooking a large expanse of lawn and a charming country pond in the adjacent field. A very large metal gated 7x3.8m timber workshop with power and lighting offers potential for storage or possibly conversion to offices subject to any permissions that might be required. Numerous wooden sheds provide extra storage.
Ground Floor
Entrance through a covered porch through the front door into a gorgeous living room with honey-coloured wood-stripped flooring, a woodburner and views through wooden beams screened with glazing through to the country kitchen. An inner hallway leads to stairs, a doorway to a useful utility/cloakroom/w/c and a doorway to the farmhouse kitchen diner which is spacious enough for dining in and includes a Belfast sink under the kitchen window which overlooks open countryside. Steps on the right of the kitchen lead down to a large porch and log storage area with a stable door leading out to the raised decking area and hot-tub area.
First Floor
The first floor contains a spacious master bedroom with wonderful garden/countryside views, a long run of built-in wardrobes & further characterful wood stripped flooring. Across the wooden beamed landing, a double bedroom with double aspect windows to waterside and countryside views is large enough to encompass a wardrobe and chest of draws. A well-appointed and modern bathroom with a double-sized shower enclosure completes this floor.
Second Floor
Stairs to the second floor present the opportunity for a mini office on the landing. A long single attic bedroom is found to one side, and a very large double bedroom to the other. In the center, you will find the cutest bathroom we have ever seen. Candles, a glass of prosecco and a decent novel beckon.
The Annex
Cleverly disguised as a garage, with faux garage doors, a side entrance leads internally into an electrically heated open plan kitchen/dining/living room with sink, hob, oven, countertop and cupboards. Open understair storage is found adjacent to a practical shower room. Stairs lead to the first floor and a large double bedroom set into the eves with space for clothes storage. This presents an opportunity for a multitude of uses e.g AirBnb / Home Office / Rental unit @ circa £750 per month.
Simply an adorable cottage set in lovely, lovely gardens. We just love this property for its cute chocolate box feel, its countryside location with waterside views, the practicality of masses of parking, the detached annex, and the enormous timber workshop. Book a viewing, we think you will love it too.
