Description

Situated on a generous plot at the edge of the picturesque village of Henham, Cott Moor presents a substantial single-storey residence that harmoniously combines spacious living with potential for renovation and development. With approximately 2,700 square feet of well-designed accommodation, this property is suitable for families seeking flexibility in their lifestyle or investors exploring possibilities for additional dwellings. The property benefits from existing features such as stables and paddocks, along with a heated swimming pool, which enhance its appeal for equestrian activities or hobbyists. Upon entering, you'll find a welcoming reception hall that leads into a large kitchen/breakfast area, forming the heart of the home—perfect for family gatherings and casual dining. An inner hallway connects to a comfortable family room alongside practical utility and boot rooms tailored for country living. The bright sitting room boasts large windows overlooking expansive gardens, creating an inviting atmosphere to relax in. Accommodating various needs, the layout includes four spacious bedrooms plus an additional room suitable for use as a study or fifth bedroom. The main bedroom features an en suite bathroom while the remaining share access to a well-appointed family bathroom. The outdoor space boasts a sizable terrace ideal for entertaining during summer months complemented by the luxury of a heated swimming pool. Additionally, the paddocks and stables offer opportunities for leisure without needing extensive equestrian commitments. With outline planning permission previously granted (now lapsed) for three properties across the plot, Cott Moor holds significant potential for future development—a rare opportunity in this desirable setting. Further outbuildings provide options for workshop space or storage while the grounds allow ample room for gardening or recreation. This property represents not only a comfortable dwelling but also exciting possibilities within a sought-after community surrounded by local amenities and easy access to transport links towards London.
