Moorstead House, Compton, Marldon

DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring to market Moorstead House, an established Georgian Villa surrounded by a well-stocked, landscaped, south facing garden situated just outside the desirable village of Marldon. 

Approaching the property, a wisteria covered veranda frames the face of the property and leads into the entrance hall and first two reception rooms. An elegant drawing room with wooden shutters and picture rail is the first introduction to the character features throughout the home that have been tastefully enhanced by modern fittings and design. The dining room is a desirable social space with a large family dining table set, wood burner and beautiful wooden conservatory seating area that allows for natural light to fill the room. A more contemporary snug room leads down into the kitchen with the study room situated opposite. The kitchen is fitted with matching wall and floor units, with an electric Mercury oven, two sinks, space for dishwasher and fridge freezer with a large central breakfast table. 

At the rear of the property a more secluded living room is complemented by double doors opening onto tranquil cobble patio framed by the timber grape vine trellis. A library room beyond offers another private and restful space situated at the rear of the property. A large utility room, separate WC and boot room concludes the downstairs accommodation. 

Ascending the stairs the first landing leads to a double ensuite bedroom that is complemented by high ceilings, exposed beams and a contemporary three-piece tiled bathroom. Access to the self-contained two bedroom annexe can be found from this landing. The second set of stairs lead to the master bedroom which is generous in size and benefits from dual aspect sash windows overlooking the surrounding countryside. The ensuite bathroom is fitted with walk-in shower, WC and hand basin that opens into the dressing room beyond. A further double bedroom overlooks the beautiful front garden and is serviced by the family bathroom comprising of shower, WC, hand basin and stand alone bath. Stairs lead to the loft room, currently used as an additional bedroom but could easily be utilised as a play/games room, study, or accessible storage. 

The annexe has great potential for multigeneration living or as rental income with its own separate access, or alternatively could be incorporated into the main house. Entering the property from a private garden, the entrance hall leads to the kitchen comprising of electric oven, space for washing machine, fridge/freezer and 1/2 dishwasher. The open plan living/dining room has far reaching countryside views with seating area and dining table. The first double bedroom is generous in size and enjoys similar countryside views and onto the private garden with the second double bedroom with hand basin, connecting to the main house if necessary. A family bathroom comprises bath with shower above, WC and hand basin.

The front lawn is surrounded by a well stocked tiered garden with intricate pathways and established flowering shrubs, herbaceous plants and herbs. The south facing kitchen garden includes raised vegetable beds with an array of produce as well as fruit trees including apple and plum. Steps lead up to the additional land that is a level meadow area and an area of rewilding, this includes Walnut, Mulberry, Cherry and Plum and cordon of apple trees and a fruit cage of soft fruit. The gravel driveway continues to the back of the property where you will find an idyllic courtyard area bordered by plants and flowers with a timber trellis encased by a growing vine and granite cobble seating area below. The garden at Moorstead House is a true delight and amplifies the beauty of this period property, with different areas to enjoy and explore throughout the home, we would highly recommend a viewing.
