Overview

** For sale by online auction ** Pre-Auction offers considered **
Hidden at the end of a long private drive off Magna Road, 3 Moortown Farm sits within this prestigious, highly attractive 19th-century courtyard conversion – one of its largest homes, with over 2000 square ft of accommodation, offering four double bedrooms behind handsome red/yellow brickwork, Gothic arch touches and generous farmhouse-scale volumes. The layout is easy to live with and the private garden is designed for low maintenance with a degree of privacy.

A smart shaker kitchen with solid wood worktops, integrated appliances and space for an American fridge/freezer; added dining room storage; and a discreet passenger lift linking ground and first floors to future-proof the house for all ages and mobilities.

Broad living spaces lead to a paved terrace – great for effortless entertaining. Set on the outskirts of Wimborne, with bus routes at the end of the drive, this peaceful and unique home is one not to be missed.

Ground Floor

Approached through an arched covered walkway, the front door opens to a hall with cloakroom and immediate sense of volume. The living space centres on a feature brick chimney breast and timber floor; French doors lead onto the paved terrace, and there is an abundance of natural light from the double aspect windows.

This space links through to the dining area, with fitted cabinetry. Beyond, the remodelled shaker kitchen provides everyday heart-of-home practicality: Solid wood worktops, induction hob, eye-level ovens, integrated dishwasher, bin drawers and central island, along with space allocated for an American-style fridge/freezer.

A passenger lift set off the main living zone rises to the first floor guest bedroom, removing stairs as a barrier and making multi-generational living a realistic long-term option

First Floor

Arriving via stairs or lift, a light galleried landing with rooflight knits the accommodation together. The principal bedroom is a generous double with fitted wardrobes and electrically operated rooflight; its ensuite pairs a freestanding claw-foot tub with a separate shower. A second double bedroom offers its own ensuite shower room, ideal for guests which is where the lift rises to from the ground floor. Two further well-proportioned doubles provide flexible space for family, work or hobbies, supported by a separate family shower room.

A practical first-floor utility/laundry keeps noisy appliances out of the kitchen and houses the hot water system. With level circulation from the lift, the upper floor works for all ages and visiting mobility-restricted relatives.

Outside

Designed for living not labour, the rear garden is predominantly paved for low maintenance yet framed by well-stocked borders and some lawn space. To the front, the attractive archway leads to both the front door of this home. And its neighbouring property, with a right of way to their rear garden.

Location

Moortown Farm lies in a peaceful semi-rural pocket reached by a long private drive off Magna Road, giving the feel of countryside seclusion without sacrificing access.

Historic Wimborne Minster—with Waitrose, cafes, restaurants and the Tivoli theatre/cinema—is around three miles. The coastal hubs of Poole and Bournemouth, each roughly seven miles, supply extensive shopping, culture, beaches and watersports. Road links are excellent: Join the A31 near Wimborne for the M27/M3 to London; Bournemouth and Poole mainline stations run services to London Waterloo.

Bournemouth Airport is also within easy reach (about seven miles). Scenic walks and cycle routes radiate from the surrounding lanes, making the house a superb base for active lifestyles.

History

Originally part of Lord Wimborne's 19th-century model farm, the Moortown buildings were converted in the 1990s into an intimate courtyard of character homes that preserve their agricultural brick forms and slate roofs.

Distinctive red and yellow brickwork, stone dressings and occasional Gothic-arched openings give the group a confident architectural identity rarely found in later developments. Number 3 is among the largest of the cottages; its generous proportions reflect the scale of the original farm ranges and lend themselves to contemporary open-plan living.

Subsequent owners have been careful custodians. The result is heritage with a fine balance of modern twists.
