The house was bought by the current owners in 2011 as a virtual ruin and has since been completely and sympathetically renovated throughout. An extension was also added to provide a good-sized laundry/boot room and a separate office, which has windows on three sides with lovely views.
The house is built of local stone largely covered in painted render with a slate roof, large windows, attractive carved barge boards and looks out over its cottages and outbuildings towards the surrounding countryside. On the ground floor are two good-sized reception rooms, both with fireplaces fitted with wood-burning stoves, with a large conservatory off the dining room. The charming farmhouse kitchen has a fine slate floor, ceiling beams and is fitted with timber units including a large central island, granite work surfaces, multi-fuel Rayburn and electric Cuisine Master 100 range cooker.
On the first floor is a split landing leading to all the bedroom accommodation. At one end is the principal bedroom with adjacent bathroom and dressing room, which can serve as an additional bedroom if required, and there are four further double bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom.
Facing the house across a large courtyard garden is a substantial stone barn with two lean-to stores on one side, that would be ideally suited for a variety of different purposes, subject to the appropriate planning permissions, and on the third side of the garden is a stone outbuilding housing the bio-mass boiler. Beyond it are two holiday cottages (Jemima Cottage/sleeps 2 & Rosamund Cottage/sleeps 5), each with their own garden area and let very successfully through Classic Cottages (see ). Behind the period barn is an extensive parking area beside two livestock barns and a machinery/feed store barn. One of the livestock barns has been adapted internally to accommodate five large loose boxes.
The farmland is a major part of the attraction of Great Moreton as a whole. It is a wonderfully rural and unspoiled oasis that has great potential for further development with stewardship agreements already in place. Over recent years it has been used for a herd of whitebred shorthorn cattle and comprises a mix of grazing, culm grassland and about 80 acres of young woodland ideally placed for the future ELM grants system or for carbon offset development.
The farm also hosts an established shoot for wild pheasant, snipe and woodcock, with five small flighting ponds, roe deer stalking and single bank fishing rights on the River Tamar, which runs along the eastern boundary of the farm. In all there are about 276 acres (111.7 hectares).

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
