Moorview House -

Moorview House is a substantial former farmhouse arranged to allow flexible living or continued use as a successful holiday let or B&B. The main house welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall and ground-floor W/C. A generous living room with wood-burning stove enjoys south-facing views across the countryside, with sliding doors leading to a versatile study or studio space.

The kitchen offers excellent scope for further enhancement, enjoying garden views and flowing into a utility room, boot room, and side entrance. A separate dining room provides an ideal space for family meals and entertaining.

To the rear, a bedroom with ensuite shower room and private entrance offers excellent guest accommodation or independent living. A separate wing of the house comprises three beautifully renovated ensuite bedrooms, finished to a high standard. The largest bedroom benefits from an additional room currently set up with kitchen and living facilities and opens onto a patio leading to two private gardens, one with direct access to the parking area - this space could easily be made into an additional bedroom if required.

The property can be sold fully furnished, including an established website, providing a turnkey lifestyle business with ongoing income.

The included adjoining land extends the total grounds to approximately 1.04 acres (0.42 ha), currently enjoyed as a peaceful wildlife haven and offering further scope for garden lovers, outdoor enjoyment, or simply additional privacy. There is also a large car park which provides ample parking space for up to 10 vehicles.
