Summary - Moorview Cottage, Mudgley BS28 4TU
5 bed 2 bath Character Property
Georgian five-bedroom home on 1.45 acres with tennis court and panoramic views.
Panoramic south-facing countryside views including Glastonbury Tor
Moorview Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom Georgian character home set on an elevated 1.45-acre plot, offering uninterrupted south-facing countryside views that include Glastonbury Tor. The house combines longhouse origins with a graceful 1818 Georgian extension, delivering high ceilings, tall shuttered windows, original shutters, window seats and exposed beams. Reception rooms are generous and well-proportioned, and a garden room/study with underfloor heating makes the most of the panorama.
The house is arranged over four floors and includes useful ancillary space: a basement cellar, an extensive loft room with conversion potential (subject to consents), and a large detached garage. The farmhouse kitchen includes an oil-fired Aga and adjoining utility/pantry; two upstairs bathrooms and a downstairs shower room serve the five bedrooms. Mature, south-facing gardens slope down to a well-maintained tennis court and provide private outdoor space for family life and entertaining.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is by oil boiler and radiators, the building is sandstone with no assumed wall insulation, and much of the double glazing predates 2002. These factors mean there will likely be ongoing running costs and scope for energy-efficiency improvement. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property sits at the end of a no-through lane in a quiet rural hamlet — ideal for privacy but with average mobile signal and the nearest amenities and schools a short drive away.
This house will suit a family seeking a characterful rural home with generous grounds and clear scope to personalise and improve energy performance. It rewards buyers who value privacy, space and long-range views, and who are prepared to invest to update services and insulation where desired.
