Church House is a substantial, character-rich home set in about 1.5 acres beside the parish church in Welford-on-Avon. Its period features — oak timber framing, vaulted ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and multiple reception rooms — create an appealing blend of historic charm and practical family space. Large reception areas and five bedrooms provide flexible living for a multi-generational household or regular entertaining.
The mature gardens are a standout: sweeping gravel drive, paved terraces, established trees and direct river access. Grounds include a tennis court (requires resurfacing), an out-of-use outdoor-heated pool (requires restoration), separate pony paddock with stables and independent power, and a garage. Several sets of glazed French doors link the principal rooms to terraces and lawns, enhancing indoor–outdoor living.
Buyers should note the house’s older construction and some practical limitations: solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, electric storage heaters, double glazing installed pre-2002, and a medium flood risk. The property has been sympathetically refurbished but will benefit from further updating in places to improve energy efficiency and modern convenience. Council tax is very expensive; prospective purchasers should factor ongoing running costs into budgets.
This location suits those seeking village life with strong community amenities, good schools and easy access to Stratford-upon-Avon and major transport links. For buyers who value historic character, generous gardens and equestrian potential, Church House offers a rare, private riverside setting with clear scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
