Church House stands as a prominent Grade II listed residence in Highworth, ideally situated near the bustling High Street and adjacent to the local church. This property, rich in historical character, has been held by the same family for many years and is now in need of substantial modernisation and reconfiguration. It offers a unique opportunity to transform it into an impressive family home that retains its period charm amidst one of the town's most celebrated locales.
Spanning three levels, this spacious home preserves numerous original features while providing a flexible layout that can be adapted to modern living. The central entrance hall leads to generous reception rooms including a sitting room and dining area that boast traditional proportions with views toward Sheep Street.
At the rear of the house, you’ll find a family room, kitchen, and small shower room that present significant reconfiguration potential; these spaces are prime candidates for creating a large open-plan kitchen and living area (subject to planning permissions). Additionally, a secondary entrance provides access to a study and utility room linked by another staircase leading to the first floor.
The first floor offers well-sized accommodation featuring a principal suite alongside three additional bedrooms accessed from the main landing. Notably, one of these bedrooms connects to an extra bedroom and bathroom via another staircase, making it suitable for independent living arrangements.
A further staircase takes you up to the second floor where an expansive space awaits renovation—ideal for additional bedrooms or guest accommodations.
Included with Church House are extensive outbuildings such as a vaulted garage and a detached stone structure previously serving as stables. These could be repurposed into various functional spaces like an office or workshop with appropriate permissions.
To the rear lies an enclosed courtyard perfect for outdoor dining or entertaining enhancements. The property's surrounding garden features mature hedging and trees with potential for landscaping improvements.
Given Church House's strategic location in central Highworth—which boasts historic architecture, community vibrancy, and access to amenities—this property represents not only a home but also an investment opportunity poised for enhancement.
