EXCEPTIONAL PERIOD GRADE II LISTED FORMER VICARAGE STANDING IN WALLED GARDENS OF 0.53 ACRES CLOSE TO THE HEART OF THIS POPULAR VILLAGE

Church Hill House is a most attractive and historically significant former vicarage being Grade II Listed for its architectural and historical importance. Elegantly constructed in stone beneath a slate roof the property stands centrally in the heart of this desirable village, set within beautifully landscaped and walled gardens of approximately 0.53 acres. Dating from 1737, the property offers period charm and character throughout, with a number of extensions having been added over the centuries. Formerly owned by the Church until 1984, it has since been lovingly maintained by the current owners for over forty years, who now seek to pass on stewardship to a new custodian who will value the home’s history, elegance, and tranquil setting. Internally, the house retains a wealth of original features, including tall corniced ceilings, sash windows in the Georgian style, two staircases, decorative archways, dado rails and period fireplaces.

A wide entrance hall sets the tone upon entry, with a staircase rising to the first floor and a convenient cloaks cupboard. At the far end of the hall is a useful cloakroom and a private study. The reading room is a delightful space, enjoying a dual aspect, high ceilings with detailed cornicing, recessed arch features, and a handsome Victorian-style fireplace with a timber surround and gas coal effect insert. The principal sitting room is notably spacious and bright, with a full height, multi pane Georgian style sash window offering lovely views over the garden. The room retains many original details, including a central fireplace, decorative wall light points, and elegant cornicing. To the front of the house lies the dining room which flows seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with a range of pine fronted cupboards at both base and wall level with a gas-fired twin-plate Aga. A large utility room lies just off the kitchen, with ample storage, roof lights, and a rear hallway providing access to the garden.

To complete the accommodation there is an inner hall with stair up to the first floor and office with access to the cellar rooms.
