A Rare Gem in the Heart of Long Stratton: Church House
Nestled next to the churchyard in the soon-to-be bypassed village of Long Stratton, Church House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled home with an abundance of charm and potential. Spread across three floors, this beautifully maintained property offers a perfect blend of traditional features and modern convenience.
As you step into the spacious sitting room, you're greeted by a stunning inglenook fireplace, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with a separate utility room and downstairs WC, provides a practical layout ideal for family life. On the middle floor, the versatile landing area could easily become a home office, while the principal bedroom, with access to a charming second bedroom (perfect as a children's room with its own fitted wardrobe), offers flexible living options. These rooms can even be combined to create one expansive master suite. A staircase leads to the top floor, currently used as a guest room, providing further living space with potential for additional uses.
The property retains much of its original character, thoughtfully maintained throughout to preserve its historic charm. Outside, the rear garden offers a tranquil retreat with a good degree of privacy, ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining. The country-style garden is complemented by a timber storage shed and rear access to a long driveway, which currently provides off-road parking for 2-3 cars.
With oil-fired central heating and underfloor heating in the kitchen, utility, and WC areas, this home is both comfortable and energy-efficient. Offered with no onward chain, Church House presents an unmissable opportunity to own a unique piece of Long Stratton's history.
