Guide Price £579,950
A very handsome, detached Grade II listed village house which has been beautifully renovated throughout to exceptional standards, retaining much of the original character and warmth, whilst complementing with sympathetic modern touches.
The property is delightfully situated at the heart of the sought after Somerset village of Drayton, close to the beautiful Grade I listed 14th century church and the village inn, with neighbouring towns of Langport, Somerton and Taunton all within easy reach.
Accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, family room, bespoke kitchen/dining room, cloakroom, utility/workshop, four bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a master ensuite) and a large, boarded attic room. Outside, the property offers landscaped, low maintenance front and rear gardens, and a detached garage.
Description
Church House is an exceptionally attractive Grade II listed village residence, occupying a prominent position in the heart of the sought-after, conservation village of Drayton. Constructed of natural stone beneath a clay tiled roof, this distinguished detached home is rich in period charm, whilst having been sympathetically and comprehensively modernised to an exacting standard.
The current owner has continued to enhance the property with considerable investment, creating a home that successfully combines the character and craftsmanship of a historic building with the comfort and practicality expected of modern living. More recent improvements include a bespoke fitted kitchen, luxurious family bathroom and cloakroom, secondary glazing, restored bay window, replacement boundary wall, landscaped gardens, electric garage door and extensive drainage works.
The accommodation is beautifully proportioned and full of original character, with exposed beams, deep window reveals and attractive fireplaces creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The sitting room and family room each enjoy a wood burning stove set within impressive stone fireplaces, making them ideal spaces for both entertaining and everyday living.
The heart of the house is the bespoke kitchen/dining room, fitted with handcrafted cabinetry, an electric AGA and integrated appliances, whilst a stable door opens directly onto the rear garden.
A useful cloakroom and adjoining utility/workshop complete the ground floor, which benefits from underfloor heating to most rooms.
On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys an adjoining shower room together with a charming window seat and access, via a spiral staircase, to a substantial boarded attic. Extending to over 33 feet in length, this versatile space offers excellent potential as a home office, hobbies room, studio or occasional guest room.
The remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and high-quality contemporary fittings.
Outside, the gardens have been attractively landscaped for ease of maintenance whilst providing colour and interest throughout the seasons. The enclosed front garden is bordered by a recently rebuilt stone wall and planted with a variety of ornamental shrubs and flowering borders.
To the rear, the private garden has been thoughtfully designed with seating areas, established planting, a timber store and delightful views towards the neighbouring parish church.
A detached stone-built garage benefits from cleverly designed side-opening pedestrian doors, allowing comfortable access from a parked vehicle. Adjacent is a useful utility/store housing the oil-fired boiler.
Church House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored period home of considerable character within one of South Somerset's most desirable villages. Offering an enviable balance of historic charm, high-quality modernisation and manageable gardens, it is ideally suited as either a principal residence or an elegant country retreat.

P.S.
A few extra comments.
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
Call us for information on any of these points.
