A Rare Gem in the Heart of Long Stratton: Church House
Positioned beside the churchyard in the soon-to-be bypassed village of Long Stratton, Church House offers a unique chance to own a grade II listed character-filled home brimming with charm and potential. Spread over three floors, this beautifully cared-for property seamlessly combines traditional features with modern comforts.
Step into the spacious sitting room, where a striking inglenook fireplace creates a warm and inviting ambiance. The well-appointed kitchen includes a separate utility room and downstairs WC, designed with practicality and family living in mind. On the middle floor, the versatile landing area can serve as a home office, while the principal bedroom—with access to a charming second bedroom perfect for children and featuring its own fitted wardrobe—offers flexible accommodation. These two rooms could easily be merged to form a generous master suite. Upstairs, the top floor currently functions as a guest room, providing additional living space with potential for various uses.
The home retains much of its original character, carefully maintained to preserve its historic appeal. Outside, the private rear garden provides a peaceful retreat, ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining. Complemented by a timber storage shed and rear access to a long driveway, the property offers off-road parking for 2-3 vehicles.
With oil-fired central heating and underfloor heating in the kitchen, utility room, and WC, Church House combines comfort with energy efficiency. Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Long Stratton’s heritage.
Don’t miss your chance—arrange a viewing today and make Church House your forever home!
