Description

Property Description: Set in a rural location close to the sought-after village of Butleigh in the heart of the Somerset countryside, Moorhouse is a charming Blue Lias stone-built house. The property dates back to 1867 and was originally two cottages and formed part of the estate of Reverend Neville Grenville, who owned the village of Butleigh. Now combined into one, this home has been carefully and extensively renovated throughout to a high standard, offering over 2,500 sq.ft of stylish accommodation with the comfort of modern living while still retaining plenty of original features such as mullioned windows, exposed beams and a Ham Stone fire place. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a character home, in a beautiful countryside setting with views from every window.

Inside, the spacious accommodation is both practical and versatile. To the right of the entrance hall, a bright and airy triple-aspect sitting room features limestone flooring and a characterful Ham Stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Through the sitting room is a large open-plan kitchen and dining room, fitted by renowned British brand Neptune. It features a four-oven Aga, induction hob, AEG oven, integrated fridge and dishwasher, as well as bespoke hand-crafted tiling fitted by the current owners. With plenty of storage and space for a large dining table, this room is the hub of the home - perfect for family life and entertaining. A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen, with a stable door leading outside to a paved terrace for outdoor dining. There is also a ground floor bedroom with an adjacent shower room - ideal for guests or for multigenerational living.

To the first floor there are three good-sized double bedrooms and a well-proportioned family bathroom. The principal bedroom offers excellent potential to add an en-suite. From the third bedroom, a staircase leads to a charming bedroom in the eaves with exposed beams.

Outside: The garden is a real feature of this property. The mature gardens of 0.37 acres include a well-tended lawn, colourful planted borders, a productive kitchen garden, and a paved terrace that catches the sun - ideal for alfresco meals in the warmer months. Mature trees and hedging surround the plot, creating privacy and a real sense of seclusion. A large gravelled driveway provides parking for up to five cars, and there is a large outbuilding with excellent storage. At the front, iron railings and raised hedging add to the homes curb appeal.
