Description

This period farmhouse presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Set within approximately 1.75 acres of private grounds, it boasts stunning views towards Duncliffe Woods and is positioned in the tranquil hamlet of Moorside, near the vibrant village of Marnhull. The property has been in the same family for generations, reflecting its idyllic environment and lasting charm. The farmhouse showcases a beautiful stone exterior beneath a tiled roof, offering spacious and character-filled accommodation. The ground floor features a dual-aspect sitting room with a Minster stone open fireplace, along with a versatile family room or fourth bedroom, breakfast room, utility room, and cloakroom/WC. Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom are complemented by access to an attic room on the second floor. A previously lapsed planning consent for extension indicates ample scope for enhancement or expansion (subject to relevant permissions), while the absence of listing status allows for greater flexibility in any refurbishments. Additional outbuildings—including former kennels—provide excellent storage potential and may be converted into garaging or supplementary living spaces (STPP). The gardens offer privacy and tranquility with an array of mature trees and established hedging that attract local wildlife. A natural spring well adds charm as a water source, while an area formerly used as a paddock can be redefined for various uses. With no public rights of way across the property, privacy is assured. Local amenities in Marnhull include pubs, schools, medical facilities, and shops. Transport connections via the A303 and mainline railway stations facilitate easy access to larger towns and cities like London. This property represents an exceptional canvas for those keen to invest in its future.
