DESCRIPTION

Church Bank House is a charming and welcoming home of gravitas, next to the Church, in the heart of the village yet offering privacy and established South facing gardens and grounds. It is constructed of brick with part black and white elevations with planted timbers under a gable tiled roof. It bares a lead apex plaque marked HRM 1708 and was altered and enlarged in the 19th Century. It is believed there has been a house on the site of Church Bank House since the late middle ages.

Church Bank House was the previous residence of the Goss family of Goss China and has been in the family of the current owner for 60 years. It provides any prospective purchaser the opportunity to update to their own requirements.

Internally the property offers generous and well lit family accommodation retaining many original features including fireplaces, doors and a fine staircase. Indeed, it is well deserving of its listing.

Given its proximity to the heart of the village, the house and grounds are immensely private, surrounded by mature trees and woodland on three sides. There are also open field views from much of the garden and many of the rooms.

The gardens and grounds are arranged around the house and include a part sunken croquet lawn surrounded by hedgerow and shrubs including rhododendrons, herbaceous borders, mature trees and a raised area with trees and daffodils, known as Church Bank. The principle gardens and grounds enjoy a Southerly aspect over open countryside. To the West there is a paddock area. To the East there is a lovely walkway to the Church and small carpark.
