Summary - Churchgate House, The Street, Thorndon IP23 7JR
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious four-bed home on a large south-facing plot backing fields.
- Former rectory style home with Tudor Revival character
Set in the quiet village of Thorndon, Churchgate House is a spacious 1950s former rectory offering over 1,900 sqft (stms) of flexible family accommodation. The house combines period character—exposed brick gables, fireplaces and a conservatory—with three/four reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast space. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite and there are four generous bedrooms in total.
Outside, the private south-facing garden extends to approximately 0.25 acres (stms) and backs onto open fields, creating a peaceful, rural aspect. A substantial shingled driveway leads to an impressive garage and workshop, providing plentiful parking and storage for families or hobbyists. The plot size and planning consent for three chalet-style properties behind the garden offer development or investment potential (planning approved).
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, the property has double glazing installed before 2002, and the EPC rating is D. Council tax is described as expensive. The location is a remoter, established farming community with very low crime, average mobile and broadband signals, and local primary and secondary schools within reasonable distance.
This house will suit buyers seeking character, space and a large private plot in a peaceful village setting, or investors looking to capitalise on the approved planning. Some modernisation and ongoing maintenance (oil heating, older glazing) should be expected with a home of this age and type.
