Church Farm House is a substantial Grade II listed farmhouse set in the heart of Wighton, three miles from Wells-next-the-Sea. The three-storey home offers generous rooms, high ceilings and period detail throughout, plus a large secluded garden backing onto open fields and views of the village church. A refurbished barn with underfloor heating and excellent light currently provides a home office and storage.
The house provides flexible family accommodation across five main bedrooms (plus additional ground-floor bedroom/snug), two main bathrooms and numerous reception rooms — ideal for multigenerational living or working from home. Practical extras include PV panels, an air-source heat pump in the barn, multiple stores and an idyllic cabin in the garden with a pot-bellied stove.
The site has strong renovation and extension potential (barn previously restored and may permit further accommodation STPP), but this potential comes with constraints. The Grade II listing, conservation area status, established easements and an unregistered title will all require specialist advice and may restrict changes. The property is offered as in need of updating throughout.
This home will suit buyers who value character, space and rural privacy and who are prepared to manage a sensitive restoration. For purchasers prioritising turnkey modern convenience, significant investment will be needed to update services and finishes, and to navigate listed‑building requirements.
