Picture perfect cottage that offers an exceptional peaceful lifestyle in a tranquil village setting. Dating back to the mid to late 16th century, this Grade II listed home combines all the charm and character expected from a period property along with a first-class garden office/studio and a self-contained annexe that’s ideal for guests. With its wealth of exposed timber beams, wood floors and working fireplace, an utterly enchanting layout stretches out over three storeys blending original features with a superbly appointed Shaker-style kitchen/dining room, wonderfully large reception room and three double bedrooms.

The timber framed and red brick facade of Hunters Moon instantly transports you back in time. Tucked back from leafy Church Lane, and offering bewitching views of the landscape, this beguiling Grade II listed cottage dates back to the 16th century. Retaining an immense measure of original charm, its self-contained annexe and garden office/studio are enviable additions.

A sweeping gravel driveway to the private frontage immediately hints at the lifestyle on offer. Behind a solid wood with traditional ironwork, a truly wonderful reception room leaves you in no doubt of the heritage of this Albury home. Beneath an abundance of exposed timber beams, generous proportions supply an exceptional place to call home. Natural light from double aspect casement windows beautifully highlights a magnificent working fireplace, and the tones of an exemplary wood floor add warmth to the white-washed walls, while a bay window area adds a peaceful spot for a desk or vintage telephone table. Ideal for family meals or evenings with friends, a tastefully chosen Shaker-style kitchen/dining room is superbly appointed. Its triple-aspect layout accommodates a central dining table and is designed to house a range cooker. The French doors of the adjoining utility room make it irresistibly easy to step out into south-west facing gardens, and a conveniently placed cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The timber-framed walls and beams continue upstairs where three double bedrooms grace the first and second floors sharing an excellent family bathroom that has a bath with a deluxe overhead rainfall shower. Whilst each room is equally impressive and notably light, it is perhaps the top floor principal bedroom that steals the show with its high sloping ceiling and discreetly hidden bath.

Outside, enclosed picturesque gardens give every excuse to sit back, relax and unwind on a paved terrace or established long lawn. An extensive modern garden studio/office is a coveted retreat and offers a prized sense of delineated space, while a annexe has an en suite shower room.
