Set in the small village of Woolverton, Church Mead House is a listed Jacobean stone home offering versatile family living across three floors. Thought to date from around 1700, the property retains high ceilings, sash windows and other period character while sitting on a large plot with extensive rural views. The garden and driveway provide private outdoor space and off-street parking for several cars.
The house currently functions as a flexible five-bedroom home with four reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a light-filled studio. Its layout has previously accommodated family life, home-working and could be adapted again — there is scope for an annex or holiday-let subject to listed-building consent. Recent owner updates include kitchen skylights and garden doors, but much of the fabric remains traditional stone with assumed no wall insulation and older double glazing.
Important practical points: this is a Grade II listed property, which will limit alterations and may complicate upgrades. Broadband speeds are very slow locally, and the council tax band is relatively high. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; the thick stone walls help summer coolness but may need attention for winter efficiency.
Overall this is a substantial, character-rich home for buyers who value history, rural views and a flexible layout and who are comfortable managing listed-building constraints and further refurbishment to improve energy performance and services.
