First constructed in the mid-1800s, Church Farm has since undergone extensive modernisation whilst sympathetically retaining original features. Key enhancements to the Property include a substantial extension in 1998, and more recently a new kitchen / dining room. Church Farm is laid out in a horseshoe configuration, with a central courtyard terrace providing an idyllic space for outdoor entertainment.

Accessed via 3 separate staircases, the first-floor of Church Farm comprises a spacious family bathroom and 4 bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

There are 2 elements to the loft conversions which comprise the second-floor, each with independent access. One of the second-floor areas includes a study and double bedroom. The other second-floor area comprises a double bedroom.

The annexe is the first-floor element of the detached garage building positioned across the driveway from Church Farm. Extending to 516 sq ft, the annexe provides open-plan living accommodation, kitchenette, shower room and a feature balcony.

Surrounding Church Farm are picturesque formal gardens, laid to grass and interspersed with mature trees. Situated adjacent to the annexe is a large swimming pool.

Land & Outbuildings


Located beneath the annexe is a triple bay garage extending to 982 sq ft and offering extensive car storage space. Positioned in the corner of the garage is the swimming pool pump room.

The range of outbuildings make Church Farm tailor-made for use as either an equestrian facility or smallholding. Extending to 4,040 sq ft, the outbuildings include 5 stables, tack room, feed room, Dutch barn and lean-tos. The Dutch Barn offers potential for either residential or commercial development (Subject To Planning Permission (STPP)).

With Church Farm extending to 21.11 acres in total, there is a substantial area of grassland available for equestrian or livestock purposes. The grassland is bound by post-and-rail fencing and split into 2 principal field enclosures, in addition to a turnout area. Although now grazed, in recent years the eastern field parcel has been used as a private polo pitch. Adjacent to this field is a viewing pavilion, including two raised levels and an integrated bar. Additionally, there is a large outdoor sand school (note: this requires refurbishment).
