Description

Moor Cottage, a remarkable property with roots tracing back to 1480, spans over 2700 sqft and is set within an expansive 1.6-acre plot. This Grade II* listed home not only offers historical significance but also presents substantial renovation potential for discerning buyers. While the cottage features charming reception rooms—each distinct in character and function—there are opportunities to modernize spaces such as the kitchen/breakfast room, which retains its farmhouse style yet could benefit from contemporary updates. The property includes three bathrooms that alleviate morning congestion for families, but further enhancements could increase functionality. The grounds are equally impressive, comprising beautiful gardens alongside a tennis court and triple garage, formerly a barn that can be repurposed (subject to planning) into additional living space or a revenue-generating unit. The surrounding scenery introduces vast possibilities for landscaping improvements or even development of unused paddock land (STP). Located near the picturesque Chilterns AONB and local amenities, Moor Cottage combines the allure of historic architecture with excellent investment potential, making it an enticing opportunity for those willing to unlock its full capabilities.
