A Rural IdyllSituated just outside the rural village of Great Tey, complete with pub and village school, and only a five minute drive of Mark's Tey station and its direct links to Liverpool Street and just over 1/2hrs drive to Stansted airport, this property is in the ideal location for anyone wishing to be a world away from the hustle and bustle, whilst being very well connected. Standing proud in its own plot and with plenty of parking, this family home is a joy to behold. Dating back in part to 1740, the property is spacious and light throughout, with a lovely flow between the rooms. Its charming accommodation befits a family who enjoys a house party, with formal sitting room and dining hall, as well as lovely family kitchen/breakfast area, snug and playroom/study on the ground floor, and 5/6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms on the first floor providing plenty of space for one and all. Sheltered and private gardens give way to paddocks, and two sizeable outbuildings offer scope for further conversion to living space/stabling, with four acres in total to explore.Hall of FameMoor Farm was once a small farmhouse and dates back to the early 1800's, but has been added to since Georgian times, creating a much more substantial residence. When first viewing the property back in 2000, the owners were quick to seize the opportunity to take it on for manifold reasons, as we hear, \"I was working in the city at that time, and my husband was travelling a lot, so we circled the map, and focused in this area. This property came up and had exactly the right balance of house to land. Moreover, it has a rural feel but our much needed rail and airport links were clearly very accessible, so we put in an offer!\" Schooling was also a key part of the decision making, and this property came up trumps here too, as we hear, \"There is also a fantastic choice of schooling in this area, both private and state.\" Not satisfied with the space already on site, they decided to add and reconfigure the entrance, \"We have opened up the hallway, creating a fantastic space for entertaining, which comes into its own when we have a party, a lazy Sunday lunch, and best of all, dressed for Christmas. We also created a great utility room, and downstairs cloakroom, which has dramatically improved the way we use the space. The great thing about this house though is the amount of light that it enjoys, and the sun floods in throughout the day. There isn't a dark room to be found.\" Waste not, want notAs both the kitchen and the formal sitting room lead off from the hallway, this has many advantages, \"With the layout as it is, there is no wastage of space, and what I really love is the easy flow between the rooms. It works really well as a family home.\" The owner's children were born here, and enjoyed growing up in this wonderful home; it really lends itself to a young family, as the owner adds, \"The connection between kitchen, breakfast room, snug and what we used as a playroom was great when the children were young. I could keep a close eye on them, but they weren't under my feet! And with the French doors from the playroom straight out on to the terrace, we enjoyed life outside to the full.\" The house also feels very cosy, with a wood-burner in the snug and an open fire in the large sitting room, the perfect focus when entertaining once the nights have drawn in. Land of PlentyThe garden is so inviting, drawing you down from the spacious first floor landing with its views of the enchanting walkway leading away from the drive and sun-filled terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining. It was not always so, and the owners have worked hard on setting out the space in a way that complements the house. As we learn, \"We've dug out the driveway and planted crab apple trees that are so pretty in blossom and laden down with fruit, with perennials and roses in lovely soft colours along the walkway leading out from there. We also laid the terrace that leads out from the playroom/study, which is sheltered by a low wall; this provides a real suntrap in the summer. The beauty of this garden is that it is so very quiet, private and not exposed, and a great space for the children to roam in.\" Beyond a substantial hedge, you discover two good-sized barns, one of which has been much enjoyed by the family over the years, \"The old barn is a lovely space and ripe for conversion. It is such a pretty space, and it doubles up as an outdoor games room perfectly. The second barn sits facing the paddocks, and would be easy to convert to stabling.\" And with so much to do on the doorstep, this is surely a home for life.
