Description
of Braughing, Churchgate House is a remarkable 17th-century cottage, positioned opposite the village church in a quiet, timeless enclave known as Church End. Directly opposite the village church—this beautifully restored period home offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial and elegant country property.
Boasting over 3,500 sq ft of internal accommodation arranged across three character-filled floors, the home is further enhanced by approximately one acre of landscaped grounds, along with a detached triple garage and adjoining home office/studio totalling an additional 662 sq ft—ideal for remote working, creative pursuits, or guest accommodation.
Thoughtfully reconfigured to suit modern living, the ground floor combines function with sophistication. Highlights include a welcoming sitting room, a formal music room, an expansive dining room, a bespoke handmade kitchen, and a stylish utility room—all finished to the highest standard. A lower ground cellar adds flexible space, ideal for wine storage or a pantry.
The first floor offers four generously proportioned bedrooms and three luxuriously appointed bathrooms, including a stunning principal suite with serene views over the grounds. A separate cloakroom enhances everyday convenience. The second floor features a fifth bedroom, currently arranged as a private home office with views across the village—ideal for quiet focus or creative inspiration.
Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, Churchgate House offers a sense of arrival rarely found. The detached triple garage provides secure parking and further storage, with the added benefit of a fully equipped studio/home office. The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a blend of formal gardens, open lawns, and multiple entertaining spaces—perfect for enjoying the tranquil village setting.
The current owners have undertaken an extensive and meticulous refurbishment, transforming the property while preserving its historic integrity. Works include a complete reconfiguration of the ground floor layout, installation of new heating and electrics, custom-designed bathrooms and kitchen, and significant structural enhancements—all carried out with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Churchgate House is a timeless residence of rare quality and character—offering the perfect blend of heritage, space, and modern refinement in one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable villages.
