A classic English farmhouse in the heart of the Chew Valley with delightful gardens and grounds of 2.71 acres and with planning permission to create a generous adjoining extension/annexe.

Description

Tucked away in the heart of the wonderful Chew Valley, Moorledge Farm occupies an idyllic position set at the head of a long discreet driveway shared with just one other neighbouring home. The property is surrounded by the most glorious countryside with beautifully landscaped ornamental gardens. To the rear is an area of paddock of 1.7 acres in addition to the immediate 1 acre grounds. A further 1.65 acres maybe available by separate negotiation.

Towards the head of the drive, a pair of double gates open to a circular gravel turning area with parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the oak framed car barn set to the front of the property. The home offers terrific flexibility as enjoyed by the current owners who have utilised part of the car barn and the first floor studio as workshop areas and equally suitable for use as a substantial home office or fitness gym if preferred.

To one side of the property adjoining the western elevation is a substantial coach house offering terrific scope for conversion to a two storey annexe extension for which planning approval has been granted (ref 00/00107/FUL). This could provide a substantial en suite bedroom, living space and a study or be converted to a spacious “granny-annexe”.

The farmhouse dates to 1665 and has a beautiful mellow stone façade and exceptional and picture perfect curb appeal. A central stone canopied porch opens to the flagstone hallway that runs the full depth of the property with two good sized reception rooms. The drawing room has a wood burning stove set into a magnificent deep set inglenook fireplace and the dining room with an open chimney and a cast iron grate is of the perfect size for large family gatherings. Two pairs of double doors lead directly to the sheltered garden and lawn beyond. To the far side of the hallway is a large and relaxed farmhouse kitchen with an oil fired Aga with a useful supplementary electric conventional oven and ceramic hob. There is an original built in glazed display cabinet and a generous walk in larder. Set directly off the kitchen is a cosy snug with lovely dual aspect overlooking the grounds.
