A CLASSIC 17th-century English farmhouse tucked away in the heart of the Chew Valley has gone on the market with a guide price of £1.6 million.

Moorledge Farm, located just outside Chew Magna, is set at the end of a private driveway and offers a combination of rural seclusion, historic charm, and modern development potential. The Grade II-style property, dating back to 1665, sits on just over an acre of landscaped gardens and comes with planning permission to convert a substantial adjoining coach house into a two-storey annexe.

The farmhouse features six double bedrooms across three floors, including a characterful top-floor suite beneath exposed beams. A central flagstone hallway runs through the home, connecting two generous reception rooms—one with a deep-set inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, the other ideal for large family gatherings.

The farmhouse kitchen includes an oil-fired Aga, additional electric oven, and walk-in larder, with an adjacent snug offering views over the gardens. Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes a spacious en suite bathroom, complete with freestanding bath positioned to take in the countryside views.

Outside, the property offers extensive parking, an oak-framed car barn, and additional studio or workshop space. The planning approval (ref 00/00107/FUL) allows for the creation of an annexe that could include living quarters, a study, and a large en suite bedroom.

The gardens are a highlight of the property, with formal planting to the front and a wide lawn with ornamental trees to the rear, backing onto open fields. A historic well, mature stone walls, and a range of outbuildings add to the property’s traditional charm.

There is also a rear paddock, barn, and stables which may be available by separate negotiation, with the property being marketed with a total internal floor area of 4,359 sq ft and standing on a plot of 1.08 acres.
