Summary - CHURCH HOUSE, BOAT LANE CV37 8EN
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period home with gardens, river access and equestrian facilities.
5 generous bedrooms and five reception rooms across nearly 4,000 sq ft
About 1.5 acres: lawns, mature trees, pergola and riverside access
Tennis court and former heated pool present but need restoration
Stables, feed room and separate store with independent power supply
Period features: vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces
Solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation; energy upgrades advisable
Heating: electric storage heaters; double glazing fitted before 2002
Medium flood risk and very expensive council tax — factor into costs
Set beside the village parish church, this large period home blends Tudor character with generous family living across nearly 4,000 sq ft. High ceilings, exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and multiple reception rooms create flexible accommodation for family life and entertaining. The principal suite includes a dressing room and en suite; all bedrooms overlook garden or grounds.
The grounds are a principal asset: about 1.5 acres of lawn, mature specimen trees, a pergola, riverside access and a sweeping driveway with private parking. Outbuildings include stables, a feed room and a separate store with power. A tennis court and former outdoor heated pool increase leisure potential but both require restoration.
Practical points to note: the house retains solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, and heating is by electric storage heaters with LP gas for the Aga in the kitchen. Double glazing was installed before 2002. There is a medium flood risk at the site and council tax is very expensive — both relevant for running costs and insurance.
This property will suit a family seeking a distinctive village home with space for hobbies, small-scale equestrian use or leisure projects. It also has renovation potential for buyers wanting to update heating, insulation and the tennis/pool areas to personalise and improve energy efficiency and value.
