Summary - Moortown House, Chawleigh EX18 7EU
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Expansive grounds and genuine renovation potential for smallholding buyers.
6 double and single bedrooms, three reception rooms
Moortown House is a substantial six-bedroom detached farmhouse set in approximately 7.78 acres in the Taw Valley, offering sweeping countryside views and true smallholding potential. The house dates from 1885 and retains traditional character such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a slate roof, while benefiting from double glazing fitted after 2002.
The accommodation is generous with three reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen with Rayburn, and five double bedrooms. Outside there are landscaped gardens, orchard and pasture currently used for grazing, private parking suitable for larger vehicles, and a stone barn under slate roof that previously had planning permission for conversion to two-bedroom ancillary accommodation.
The property requires renovation and some external works; the roof has an older spray coating applied to slates where fixings have failed and buyers are advised to investigate. Drainage is to a shared private system and broadband speeds are very slow, which are important practical considerations for modern living or running a business from home.
This is a rare chance to create a lively country residence or continue the smallholding, with scope for conversion or refurbishment of the outbuilding subject to consents. The sale is freehold and offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, ideal for someone seeking space, privacy and long-term potential in a rural setting.
