Claypit Street, Whitchurch

A rare opportunity to acquire Churches House, a beautifully presented five-bedroom, four-reception room Georgian property, brimming with character and charm. Ideally situated within walking distance of the town centre in the historic market town of Whitchurch, this substantial and highly versatile home offers exceptional living space arranged across three floors.

Thoughtfully configured to suit a variety of modern lifestyles-including multi-generational living-the property offers distinct accommodation on the ground and first floors, each with its own kitchen, lounge, bedroom, and shower room. This unique layout makes it particularly well-suited to two families wishing to live together while retaining a sense of independence.

The ground floor welcomes you with a grand entrance hall, showcasing original Minton tiled flooring that sets the tone for the period detailing found throughout the home. A spacious bay-fronted lounge with a striking feature fireplace, an elegant dining/reception room, a well-appointed kitchen, a generously sized bedroom, and a modern shower room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor provides a second lounge, a kitchen and dining area filled with natural light, a comfortable double bedroom, and a stylish shower room-forming an entirely self-contained living space if desired.

The second floor enjoys elevated views across the town and features three further double bedrooms along with a contemporary family bathroom, completing the extensive accommodation.

Externally, the property is approached via a private entrance with an elegant iron gate framed by mature shrubs and hedging that provide privacy and charm. One of the standout features is the beautifully maintained, walled south facing rear garden-generous in size, mainly laid to lawn, and not overlooked. A spacious paved patio offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. Beyond the garden, the property backs directly onto the local bowling green, enhancing the sense of openness and tranquility.

Churches House represents a unique opportunity in a sought-after location. Internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, flexibility, and timeless appeal of this remarkable home.
