Description
Moorcourt Farm is a substantial five-bedroom farmhouse with a range of traditional and modern farm buildings and a south-facing garden in a lovely rural location with adjoining land totaling 6.79 acres. The farmhouse, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, has been carefully renovated and extended to create a spacious home of over 4,900 square feet. The property features a central hall, kitchen/breakfast room, family snug, utility room, sun room, dining room, sitting room, and five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing room. The property also has a home office, shower room, and a range of domestic outbuildings providing plant room, wine store, and general stores. The walled gardens to the front and west of the house have been carefully landscaped, with maturing specimen trees and shrubs, a pond with waterfall, and a west-facing terrace. The farm buildings, formerly livestock pens and barns, now provide domestic barns for the house and have scope for further development and use. The property is situated in Moorside, a little hamlet to the east of the popular village of Marnhull and southwest of the market town of Shaftesbury, with easy access to the A303 and mainline railway stations.
