Combining a wealth of original character with thoughtfully updated accommodation, creating a comfortable and versatile family home extending to approximately 2,182 sq ft, together with scope to extend and a range of useful outbuildings.

Church Farm House is a Grade II listed, beautifully refurbished, Cotswold stone farmhouse with a large garden and an extensive range of outbuildings. The house retains many period features, including exposed stone interior walls, timber beams, open fireplaces and deep-set windows, all of which contribute to its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The principal reception rooms are well proportioned and include a sitting room with wood-burning stove, a dining room and a charming living room, providing flexible accommodation for both family life and entertaining.

Inside...
The kitchen enjoys a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and is fitted with a range of bespoke cabinetry and integrated appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful cloakroom and access to the extensive ancillary accommodation and stores beyond. The arrangement and layout of the rooms can be seen on the floor plan.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors and provides excellent flexibility for family living and guest accommodation. The first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted storage and en suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom is particularly well-appointed and enjoys attractive views across the surrounding gardens and countryside.

A staircase rises to the second floor, where there is a further double bedroom together with an impressive bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower. The upper floors continue the character evident throughout the house, with exposed timbers and carefully considered finishes creating comfortable and individual accommodation.

Outside...
A particular feature of Church Farm House is the extensive range of outbuildings which significantly enhance the property's versatility. These include a detached garage, office, summer house, workshop and a series of useful stores, offering excellent space for home working, hobbies, storage or recreational use.

In addition, the property extends to approximately 1.5 acres in total, comprising the paddock, gardens and surrounding land, creating a wonderful sense of space, privacy and enjoyment of the countryside setting. The extensive grounds provide ample room for outdoor recreation, gardening and family activities, while the paddock offers flexibility for a range of uses. Given the size and nature of the land the house sits on, there is potential to keep a pony, making the property particularly attractive to those with equestrian interests or those seeking a more rural lifestyle.

The combination of open space, gardens and useful land further enhances the property's appeal, offering a rare balance of practical functionality and lifestyle opportunities.
