Summary - Moorcourt Farm, Moorside, STURMINSTER NEWTON DT10 1HH
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Large farmhouse with land, outbuildings and renewable heating—development potential (stp)..
Extensive accommodation: almost 5,000 sq ft, five bedrooms, versatile second-floor office
Moorcourt Farmhouse is a substantial, sympathetically renovated stone farmhouse occupying a peaceful edge-of-village setting in rural Dorset. Extending to nearly 5,000 sqft, the house offers generous reception rooms, five bedrooms (four en suite), a large second-floor office/studio and extensive ancillary spaces that suit family living, home working or flexible conversion to additional accommodation.
Set in about 6.26 acres with south-facing walled gardens, a heated swimming pool and a Hartley Botanic greenhouse, the property also includes a mix of traditional and modern farm buildings. The buildings provide useful storage, stables and machinery space now, and offer clear potential for further development or alternative uses subject to planning permission. A separate negotiation could add approximately a Dutch barn plus a further c.25 acres.
The house benefits from modern energy features: solar PV and a ground-source heat pump with underfloor heating, plus fast broadband. Practical points to note are private drainage (waste treatment plant) and limited mobile signal in places. The property is offered freehold; council tax is comparatively high and any change of use or development of farm buildings would require the usual statutory consents.
This is a strong choice for families seeking roomy period accommodation with land and development upside, smallholders wanting immediate turnkey facilities, or buyers seeking a rural lifestyle property with modern running costs reduced by renewable systems.
