About this property

  • Church House is a beautifully proportioned early Georgian/Queen Anne house, Grade II listed and dating from circa 1720.

    Built of mellow red brick beneath a gabled stone tiled roof, the property occupies a discreet position on the edge of a pretty no-through village, surrounded by mature gardens and open countryside.

    The house showcases many hallmarks of its period, including classical symmetry, sash and bay windows, high ceilings, and decorative cornicing.

    Internally, the accommodation is light-filled and well-balanced, arranged over three floors and offering a series of elegant reception rooms alongside seven bedrooms. Much of the original character has been carefully preserved, while thoughtful improvements over time have ensured the house remains both practical and comfortable for modern living. A spacious kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the home, with direct access to the terrace and gardens, complemented by a range of useful secondary spaces including utility rooms, a cellar, and rear hallway.

    A separate self-contained flat provides ideal additional accommodation for guests, staff, or extended family. Church House offers the rare combination of architectural heritage, privacy, and day-to-day liveability in a highly sought-after village setting.

    GARDENS & GROUNDS
    Church House is set within beautifully landscaped and well-screened gardens, designed for both year round interest and quiet seclusion. Approached via a gravel drive through electric gates, the house is framed by formal lawns, clipped box hedging, and an ornamental fountain overlooking a ha-ha and paddock beyond. To the south and west, a series of enclosed garden rooms unfold from the house, including rose-covered brick walls, two sun terraces, and richly planted herbaceous borders. A lime tree tunnel leads to a productive cutting and kitchen garden, complete with box-edged vegetable beds, espaliered fruit trees, a herb garden, and a decorative fruit cage. Further features include a heated outdoor swimming pool with pool house, a well-maintained tennis court, a charming dovecote, greenhouses, and direct gated access to the nearby 12th-century chapel of St Mary’s.

There is a lot to like about this lovely house. It is beautiful inside and out. My favourite feature has to be the hidden cutting garden and productive vegetable patch with a view of the church tucked away at the end of the garden.
