Moortown Farm was converted in the 1990s from 19th century farm buildings on Lord Wimborne's Estate. Number 3 has distinctive red and yellow brick elevations, enhanced by Gothic arched windows with stone detailing. The courtyard is about 3 miles away from the market town of Wimborne Minster, with easy access to Poole, Bournemouth and the M27 motorway to Southampton and London. Bournemouth airport is about 7 miles away, and the area is well served by state and independent schools including nearby Canford, Dumpton, and the Poole and Parkstone grammar schools.
Number 3 is one of the largest cottages in the courtyard. It is well presented and has gas central heating and many character features. The sitting room has a fireplace, decorative ceiling beams, timber flooring and French doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room was re-fitted about 5 years ago, and has solid oak worktops, integrated appliances, a central island, and space for an American style fridge-freezer. There is also a separate dining room with a range of built-in cupboards.
The galleried first floor landing has a rooflight. The large master bedroom has an electric rooflight and a large en suite bath/shower room which features a free standing claw-footed bath. The guest bedroom also has an en suite shower room, and there are 2 further double bedrooms and a family shower room. There is also a first floor utility room with sink, hot water tank and plumbing for washing machine.
The gardens have been lawned, with flower and shrub borders. The rear garden is secluded by trellis and high fencing. To the front of the house there are 2 allocated parking spaces in the gravelled courtyard, and there is a good sized garage (with up-and-over door) further along the terrace.
Agents’ Note: The roof requires attention, and a quote for repairs (circa £10,000) has been received.
