Summary - Six bedroom detached Country House, Chew Magna BS40 8TL
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Substantial character home with approved annexe plans and over an acre of garden.
Six double bedrooms plus potential seventh/office or study space
Moorledge Farm is a rare, characterful 17th‑century farmhouse offering spacious family living and broad country views in the Chew Valley. The house’s period features — exposed beams, flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces and sash windows — give immediate character, while the large farmhouse kitchen and three reception rooms suit everyday family life and entertaining. With six double bedrooms plus a top‑floor seating area, the layout works well for multigenerational households or those needing home working space.
A significant practical advantage is the approved planning (Ref: 00/00107/FUL) for a two‑storey annexe/extension to the adjoining coach house, providing clear scope to create self‑contained accommodation or rental income (subject to final consents). The property sits in about 1.087 acres of formal gardens and grounds, with additional paddock, stables and barn available separately — attractive for hobby‑livery, equestrian use or further development subject to negotiation.
Buyers should note some key running costs and retrofit needs: the home is heated by an oil boiler, drains to a private septic tank, and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is on the higher end. While double glazing has been installed, further energy efficiency upgrades would likely be required to reduce running costs and modernise the house.
Overall this is an appealing, well‑situated country family home for those seeking character, space and future scope — especially buyers prepared to invest in energy improvements or to finish the annexe project to realise full potential.
