Elegant period house in popular village, with delightful gardens & studio.
Perfectly situated in the heart of Westleton, an especially charming and well-appointed village in east Suffolk, Moor House is an enchanting five-bedroom period house, complemented by a superb studio, and set within delightful grounds of about 0.4 acres.
The house principally dates from the 17th century, though the heart of the house is believed to date back further. Grade II listed for its historical and architectural significance, the building retains a wealth of period features, including exposed beams, studwork, open fireplaces, and leaded casement windows.
Set back from the road behind a low flint wall, the timber-framed Moor House has a pretty façade of colour-washed brick under a steeply pitched clay tile roof with square leaded casement and dormer windows. To the rear is a distinctive and very attractive Dutch gable.
Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well. The ground floor comprises wonderfully proportioned rooms, including a drawing room, library/sitting room, dining hall, kitchen/breakfast room and study. There are four bedrooms on the first floor and an additional ground floor bedroom, ideal for multi-generational living.
The elegantly proportioned drawing room features an attractive chimneypiece with an inset wood-burning stove, flanked by two alcoves. A large window fills the room with natural light and looks over the garden and terrace.
Adjacent to the drawing room is an inner hall, which leads through to the cosy library/sitting room, which looks out over the village green, a double-aspect traditional dining hall with wood-burning stove, and a useful study. A door leads out to the garden and stairs descend to the cellar.
The beautifully appointed and generously proportioned country-style kitchen/breakfast room features an Aga, butler-style sink, integrated dishwasher, larder and bespoke cabinetry. It leads through to the utility/laundry room.
There are five well proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The charming principal bedroom enjoys fine views over the garden.

Moor House is a beautifully preserved 17th-century home in the heart of Westleton, full of historic charm and character. I especially love its distinctive Dutch gable, the wonderfully proportioned reception rooms that fill with natural light, and the beautiful, generous gardens with a superb studio.
