Nestled on the edge of the charming village of Henham, Cott Moor is a substantial single storey residence that beautifully blends generous proportions with relaxed rural living.

Set within a private and generously sized plot, this property offers approximately 2,700 sq. Ft of well planned, single level accommodation ideal for families, downsizers, or anyone seeking both accessibility and lifestyle flexibility.

Whether your ambition is to establish a multi-generational living setup, explore the potential for additional dwellings, or simply secure a home with strong long term prospects, Cott Moor presents an exceptionally versatile opportunity. The home sits in a wonderful countryside setting, complete with stables, paddocks and a heated swimming pool. It’s an ideal choice for families, equestrian lovers, hobbyists, or anyone simply wanting to enjoy a quieter rural way of life.

From arrival, the property has an immediate sense of warmth and character. The reception hall opens into a generous kitchen/breakfast room that naturally becomes the centre of daily life perfect for morning coffees, relaxed family meals and weekends spent cooking. From here, an inner hallway leads to a comfortable family room, along with a useful utility and boot room designed for the practicalities of country living.

The sitting room is a bright, inviting space with large windows that look out across the gardens and grounds, offering a peaceful spot to unwind. A separate formal dining room provides a welcoming setting for entertaining and special occasions.

The bedroom layout works well for a range of needs. There are four good sized bedrooms, along with an additional room that can serve as a study or a fifth bedroom if required. The principal bedroom includes its own en suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a well appointed family bathroom.

Outside a large terrace provides the perfect setting for summer entertaining, while the heated swimming pool adds a touch of luxury.

Beyond the formal gardens, paddocks and stables offer additional space ideal for ponies or hobbies without the commitment of a full equestrian setup.

A garage and outbuildings provide further scope for workshops or storage and the surrounding grounds offer ample space for gardening, play, or peaceful relaxation.

Whether you're seeking a forever home or a property with exciting potential, this property delivers space and style in equal measure set on the edge of a sought after village with excellent access to countryside walks and local amenities.
