Description
Stunning Grade II listed Church House forms part of a small group of historic buildings, separated by Cam Brook from the rest of Dunkerton village to the north. This group includes All Saint’s Church and two former farmsteads known historically as Upper and Lower Church Farm. Lower Church Farm has now been subdivided into a number of highly attractive separate properties based on the converted farm buildings. Arranged over three floors, comprising six bedrooms and well-arranged living space, the property features extensive landscaped gardens, an outdoor pool with an air source heat pump, an al fresco cooking and dining area, a hot tub, watering systems, and parking for several cars. Substantially invested in by the current owners to offer a highly comfortable character home boasting period features such as beams and stone mullion windows, this property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. ‘We were initially attracted to the property due to its spacious layout and beautiful surroundings. The house itself is quite handsome and set in picturesque countryside, offering a sense of quietness and privacy that was very appealing. Despite its secluded feel, it’s only a ten-minute drive to Bath city centre, providing the perfect balance between rural tranquillity and urban convenience,’ say the owners, who bought the property in 2020. They add, ‘we’ve put a lot of time and effort into upgrading the house and gardens to a high standard, and the next owners could just move in and unpack without having to do a thing.’
‘With plenty of space inside and out, the property lends itself perfectly to entertaining.’
‘The principal bedroom is a wonderful size and good views from all bedrooms are enjoyed.’
‘The top tier of the garden is perfect for relaxing and enjoying views of Dunkerton valley. The next tier has raspberries, strawberries, and currants, followed by gooseberries and a pond, with a vegetable patch at the bottom. All created without pesticides or herbicides.’
‘Church House is very well insulated and warm throughout the winter yet fabulously cool during the summer months.’
‘Our neighbours are wonderful, and we all get along extremely well, socialising regularly. Dunkerton boasts a fantastic community led by an active and hardworking parish team, which, together with volunteers, organise a variety of delightful events throughout the year.’
‘From good local schools, the dog friendly Wheatsheaf pub in Combe Hay, serving great food, to Combe Grove Health Club, the area is well served.’
