Moreleaze Farm is a well-proportioned and beautifully presented country home set overlooking approximately 15 acres, which includes a lake, pastureland and formal garden.
Originally built to a high standard in the mid 1990s, the property has been sympathetically extended and enhanced to create a spacious and light country home. A central hallway leads into a drawing room with a fireplace (wood burner) and French doors leading out to the garden and a separate study. The open plan kitchen, dining and sitting rooms form the core of the house with views over the garden and grounds. To the side is an excellent sitting room, which again overlooks the unspoilt North Wiltshire countryside and gardens.
