Description
A beautifully presented period farmhouse occupying an appealing countryside setting with approximately 2 acres of established gardens and grounds, complemented by a substantial modern timber-framed garage and barn complex.
Coveys Ley offers an increasingly rare combination of period character, generous family accommodation and extensive ancillary space, all set within attractive gardens and grounds on the edge of the countryside at Moats Tye, Combs.
The house is approached via a gated driveway which opens onto a generous gravelled parking and turning area, providing ample space for numerous vehicles and giving access to the impressive detached garage and barn complex.
Internally, the property is presented in excellent order throughout and provides approximately 2,576 sq ft of accommodation, with the ground floor offering a particularly versatile arrangement of reception rooms.
At the heart of the house is a splendid modern fitted kitchen, measuring approximately 22'3" x 11'2", fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry and work surfaces together with a traditional AGA set within an exposed brick recess. The kitchen combines contemporary practicality with a style entirely in keeping with the character of the house.
Adjoining the kitchen is a formal dining room, while a separate reading room/office provides an ideal home-working space or quieter reception room.
The principal living room is an especially attractive room, with generous proportions and a substantial inglenook-style fireplace forming its focal point. Beyond this is a cosy snug, offering a more informal everyday sitting area.
A particular feature of the property is the addition of two glazed garden rooms/conservatories. These provide valuable further reception space and create an excellent connection between the house and gardens, with extensive glazing allowing far-reaching views across the grounds and surrounding countryside.
A welcoming central entrance hall, cloakroom and connecting hallways complete the ground-floor accommodation.
First Floor The first floor provides four double bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom extending to approximately 14'8" x 14'7".
The remaining bedrooms are also well proportioned, with fitted storage available to several rooms. A family bathroom serves the first-floor accommodation.
Outside Coveys Ley stands within approximately 2 acres of attractive gardens and grounds which provide an exceptional setting for the house.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and wrap around the property, interspersed with mature trees, established shrubs and attractive planted borders. The scale of the grounds gives the property an appealing sense of space and privacy while retaining a manageable, garden-led feel rather than being predominantly agricultural.
There are numerous areas from which to enjoy the setting, with the glazed garden rooms opening directly towards the lawns and enjoying views across the grounds and adjoining countryside.
Garage & Outbuildings One of the property's most distinctive features is the substantial detached timber-framed garage and barn complex, providing approximately 1,921 sq ft of additional accommodation.
The building includes a particularly impressive double garage measuring approximately 26'7" x 20'6", together with a further garage, outbuilding/workshop and garden store.
A staircase gives access to a substantial first-floor loft space above the garages, measuring approximately 35'11" x 13'5", together with an additional adjoining area.
The building offers tremendous flexibility for the storage of vehicles, workshop use, hobbies or other ancillary purposes, subject of course to any necessary consents.
A separate garden room within the grounds provides an additional place from which to sit and enjoy the gardens.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
