The Property

Dating back to 1665, the farmhouse features a charming mellow stone façade and unmistakable curb appeal. Inside, the home exudes period charm with flagstone floors, exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, and a welcoming layout that blends formal and informal living spaces.

A central entrance hallway leads to two generous reception rooms: a characterful drawing room with a wood-burning stove set within a deep-set inglenook, and a dining room ideal for entertaining, complete with an open fireplace and garden access via double doors.

The heart of the home is a large, traditional farmhouse kitchen featuring an oil-fired Aga, electric oven with ceramic hob, original display cabinet, and walk-in larder. Adjacent is a cosy snug with dual-aspect views over the garden, offering the perfect space for relaxing.

Accommodation
Spread over three floors, the property offers six double bedrooms. The first floor includes four doubles, including a principal suite with a spacious en suite bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and freestanding Victorian-style tub. A second family bathroom, also with a roll-top bath, serves the remaining bedrooms.

The top floor offers two further bedrooms and a charming central seating area with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams—ideal for a private office, teenage retreat, or creative studio.

Outbuildings & Potential
A significant highlight is the adjoining coach house with approved planning (Ref: 00/00107/FUL) to create a generous two-storey annexe perfect for extended family, guest accommodation, or rental potential.

An oak-framed car barn sits at the front of the property, providing covered parking and workshop space. Part of the barn has already been converted by the current owners into a studio/workshop, with excellent potential for a home office or gym.

To the rear, a paddock with stables and a barn may be available via separate negotiation, further enhancing the lifestyle potential of this unique home.

Gardens & Grounds
The gardens are a true delight meticulously landscaped with deep borders, ornamental trees, expansive lawns, and tranquil seating areas. To the front, a private walled garden with a historic well creates an intimate outdoor space, while the main garden to the rear backs onto open countryside, offering far-reaching rural views and complete privacy.

Location
Located just outside the highly sought-after village of Chew Magna, Moorledge Farm sits within the stunning Chew Valley and the Mendip Hills AONB. The village offers a wide range of amenities including independent shops, pubs, restaurants, and excellent schools.
